Sin City & Blade Unleashes Rock Hard Today!

World Premiere Video from OPM Included In Porn Rock Fusion 

(Chatsworth, Ca)- Years ago performer director Barrett Blade left the world of rock and roll behind to chase some nice ass and fell into porn world, into an endless procession of tits and fresh young pussy. He climbed out of a pile of women and made a mark for himself in the adult entertainment industry with his penis before moving behind the camera and taking up more technical arts like editing. Then one day the spiky haired punk prince of porn signed a directing deal with Sin City, where erotic dreams cum true, and thus he began to make hardcore titles that focused on anal fucking. 

At no point ever did Barrett forget his roots, and thus, as he watched others attempt to create the perfect rock porn fusion movies, did his determination grow to show them all how it was done. Hence, he contacted a friend whose band is signed to Suburban Noize Records and convinced them to shoot their next music video with a twist. Not only would he include two smoking hot Penthouse Pet porn stars for their video, but he would also make a porn movie at the same time. It was the challenge he had waited his whole life to be faced with.  

"Coming from Warner Brothers records and having a real music deal with a major label, I wanted to show the porn world a little bit of what it's really like inside the music industry," Blade explains. "OPM is an amazing band that can only keep getting bigger and this is an excellent opportunity to showcase them to a new audience."

 

The result was Rock Hard; Making the Video, an inside look at a day in the life of a rock and roll band while they film their next World Premiere Music Video and all the action that goes down on set.  

"You're not going to find a more authentic rock & roll meets porn movie out there anywhere," claims Sin City national sales manager Danny Gorman. "This is as real as it gets. These guys are amazing."

 OPM is a California based trio whose home-studio-born Atlantic Records debut was a sonic brunch buffet, defying categorization in its mind-melding of rock, hip hop, dancehall, pop, dub, and Latin into a cohesive musical statement. Uniquely capturing the quintessential Golden State experience, the album's songs incorporated the state's natural beauty, its pervasive alienation, dysfunction, myth propagation, and at-sea youth into a virtual "California Dreamin'" for the millennial moment. With the release of their second album, the band switched over to Suburban Noize Records and put out For The Masses. 

Barrett Blade directs the music video for track four of the album, Luffly, which features both Hannah Harper & Gina Austin, as well as Texas Presley, Sophia, Cassie Courtland, Alex Divine, Joey, and Avena Lee. The movie packs six hardcore sex scenes in between behind the scenes snippets of the video's construction, and interviews with the band and director.

MAINSTREAM EXPLOITING PORN?

One of the trends I have been noticing lately is how “mainstream” is beginning to utilize what pornographers have known for a long time – sex sells!  This is not a new concept by all means; however the use of Porn Stars and Adult Novelties in mainstream movies, music and Television shows is increasing at a rapid rate.

Is society beginning to accept porn despite what the Government and Religious leaders are bitterly fighting and trying to regulate?  Or are “Legitimate” companies such as “mainstream” movie studios, fancy advertising agencies with multi-billion dollar budgets exploiting porn starlets and the industry?

If you watched the Sopranos over the years, you would have seen a few Porn Starlets acting as Dancers in some of there scenes.  In the season 6 opener, a poster of Brianna Loves Jenna appears prominently in some scenes shot at the back of the Bada Bing.

National Lampoon’s latest comedy Pucked, starring rocker Jon Bon Jovi, features Adam & Eve toys, videos and a multitude of other adult products quite prominently in their film, even going so far as to place banners in the hockey arena.  VH1 had Ron Jeremy in their inaugural Surreal Life series, and from some inside information I managed to hear, not only was he one of the most popular show guests they have had, but he will be returning in the near future.  Ron and Jenna Jameson appeared in an episode of the TV Show Vegas, Countless porn stars have been on the Howard Stern Show, even the President Georgie himself cannot stay away from porn stars as Mary Carey has now twice been to a Republican dinner hosted by the fearless leader.

I can write thousands more instances but you get the point, more and more porn stars and references to the adult industry are being used in mainstream markets.  I have to question the tactics of these mainstream agencies.  Are they being hypocritical?  To this day many companies will not have anything directly to do with the adult world and are afraid of alienating the religious sector of our world.  I think many would be surprised how much these companies truly are directly involved in the porn industry.  I read a story this past week about media mogul Rupert Murdoch who has been secretly building a porn channel empire for his British Sky network subsidiaries.  Seems Mr. Murdoch is even filming his own content where before he was showcasing third party content only.  There is nothing wrong with this of course, except for the fact that Rupert has openly chastised his competitors about being pornographers, and his “conservative” news channel FOX is always slamming porn on their programming (ahem Bill O’Reilly).  Most would be surprised at the multi-billion dollar corporations who are indirectly involved.

The biggest reason for doing this in my opinion is that it is the easy thing to do!  We all know sex sells, it is the easiest thing to do to create buzz, controversy and create exposure.  Pornographers are leading edge and “ballsy” with their product because they have to!  They are constantly pushing the envelope and are always the first to try something new. Look at internet technology, adult sites continuously offer their customers technologies well before they are available anywhere else.

I think these big media giants and preppy Advertising Agencies lack the creativity and flair of those that preceded them.  It is sad and really boring to see the same things rehashed year after year.  I am eternally bored by mainstream always following in the footsteps of the evil and dreaded porno world.  It would be refreshing to see them use a different, creative approach to their methods, but will this happen?

The good part of all of this is that pornography is now becoming more accepted and, most importantly, respected by the “real” world.  Contrary to popular belief, the “porno” world does not consist of a bunch of greasy, slimy, exploitive scumbags, but instead are determined and leading edge companies who operate just like, if not better than most Fortune 500 type corporations.  This is encouraging to me and to these companies as they will now be forced to provide us with even better quality products, more beautiful talent, and even further leading edge technologies, so we all benefit!

I encourage you to tell me what you think about what I write.  I am not asking you to kiss my ass but tell me what you are thinking!  Give me your point of view.

Joe Had this to say about my story last week about Colorado Politicians attacking Adult Sex Shows. I like his thinking!

Hey Sam;

We live in a constantly evolving world, the acceptance of race, religion, and now SEX is all part of the norm.  Knowledge brings on acceptance. Acceptance brings on growth, and so forth.  It’s how we survive.  It is how our species differ from others.  Change is part of life, as goes with sex.

The main problem with humanity as a whole is that when all is well, they get restless.  People like to start up SHIT over nothing!  Sex is a natural course in human creation.   We all do it, we all want it!  It’s how we exist, through reproduction; hence sex.  That’s not to say we only have sex to reproduce, because that isn’t the case anymore.  That might have been what was originally intended, but with the changing times, humans have found ways to make it that much more enjoyable.  What is the worst that can happen if all people did was have sex?  Over population and maybe a little starvation on the side, due to a shortage of food supply, other than that, no harm done.  Consider it population control!  That is the least of our worries today.  Look around you, fuck there is BULL SHIT EVERYWHERE!!!  Wars fought on oil, poverty stricken nations, and murders and mayhem in every goddamn city and town!  Nothing is sacred, nothing untouched.  There’s a bunch of sick fucks out there that has nothing better to do that sew women’s clits up, rape children, rob from old ladies, and what of that?  Why aren’t those problems addressed, and yet this is?  Rage over a mere convention based around sex??? That’s ludicrous!  I bet our buddy there, Welker, is no virgin!  Why don’t these stupid fucks use their time canvassing for a real cause....LIKE WORLD HUNGER!!! 

Porn is a multi-billion dollar industry, no stupid petition or complaint is not going to do dick all!  There’s too much money to be had.  Nice try there, buddy!  He made NOT-A-DAMN-BIT-OF-DIFFERENCE!!!

FUCK OFF!!!

The Average Joe

Miss Daisy writes me the following. 

Dear Sam,

Are We a Sex Crazed Society???

Personally I don’t care what people do, but often I wonder, have we (as a society) drifted that far off base from where we originally started???  Sex was originally meant to ensure your lineage remains in tact and that your name lives on or it was an act of love.  What of it now?  Everywhere you look, it’s SEX!  It on television, radios, billboards, and magazines….need I continue???  I’m not a prude, I like sex as much as the next person but as a concerned adult, have we gone too far?  Are we overly consumed with the topic of SEX?  Or can be it attributed to education?  In my days women were portrayed as classy and sexually mysterious to men, unlike nowadays, nothing is left to the imagination.  What of friendship?  Marriage was a life long commitment and there was none of this common law stuff which we have today.  As much as I have adjusted to the changing times, I cannot help but reminisce about the sweeter days.  Rich in its simplicity and love was pure. 

Miss Daisy
