I got out of the house tonight, setting aside a paper on masculinity in the works of Kate Chopin in order to be social for awhile.

These are 27 to 35 year old former gutter punks, college DJs, and local band members. They would be townies if this wasn’t a city. They enjoy the newest hip dive bar with an undetached irony. I know the bartenders/owners and about half the people here. The fire marshall has the place rated for 67 occupants and there are at least 150 people crammed wall to wall.

The gimmick for the night is a Ramone’s cover band called the Whoremoans. There is a female lead singer and she isn’t trying to be sexy. Instead she plays the part totally straight and the effect is hot. In fact, none of the women at the bar are dressed in “Slutty ” costumes. One friend is a turd, another a stalk of broccoli (with cheese), and the real life Greaser couple is (you guessed it) dead Greasers.

The music isn’t sexy at all, it is dirty and loud and adolescent. That is what the Ramones are after all. And the mood doesn’t really take hold until people start spraying the band with beer.

There is no stage, but if there were one, my proximity would be front and center. I get nearly impaled with the neck of the bass a few times and bear the brunt of several misguided splashes of PBR. I don’t particularly give a shit because dancing is a bit too fun at the moment to watch out that my feet aren’t stepped on.

Gizmo wins the costume contest in a best out of 3 wrestling match against Master Shake. I hear an acquaintance who is in a sleazy garage rock band and no doubt a graphic designer by day, explain that Shake is “too fucking trendy and topical.”

It takes me a half hour to sign my tab for two drinks. I never think to bring cash on the busiest nights at a place like this. Nonetheless, I’ve only said hello to a fraction of the people, so my wait at the bar is a good chance to make small talk and oggle clever costumes before heading home.

Believe it or not, this makes me horny.

As promised last week, I interviewed a real bonafide rock star and asked him all sorts of sleazy questions. You know you love it!

Sometimes the urge to share a song with the world is as strong as the need for sex. “I have to do it now!” Once you consider the masturbatory nature of podcasting – the analogy really pans out.

Thus was conceived the Bedroom Radio Quickie. They might show up once a month or once a day. But know that when the mood strikes me I’ll hit you with it fast and hard. Just like you want it, baby. . .

The talented Lisa Carver has an excerpt of her new memoir featured in Nerve today. She writes about her experience working as a prostitute between tours with her band Suckdog.

I get to change my personality five times a night, stepping into other people’s ideals. I can guess — from a man’s greeting, from his clothes, his eyes — who his dream woman is, and I become her. I take on her bearing, her speech, her interests. It’s a lot like my shows, except I don’t have to come up with my own character or new rhymes.

The comparison between prostitution and live musical performance caught my eye. Carver’s book is billed as a post-punk memoir so it is expected that she would tie these elements together. However, I think there is more to the comparison than convenience. While I have had little peeks into various elements of the music industry through the years, one thing I haven’t been is a musician myself. The idea terrifies me as much as it excites me. That means my opinion on this question has to be taken with a grain of salt.

Still, the analogy seems to pan out at least a little bit. It also tells us that even the most innovative/independent performers, commonly assumed to be outside the realm of commercial influence, feel the impetus to sublimate themselves before the audience. Even when money isn’t the driving factor the imperative to please the audience means that the performer (sexual or musical) has to change themselves to meet someone else’s fantasies.

This is a long show for two reasons. A) I am lazy about editing and B) my interviewee this week was so fascinating and sexy there was nothing to take out anyway.

We talked about writing, music, porn, and breakfast pastries.
