Out today: two records from legendary gay porn star J.D. Slater. Originally released in 1999, Slater’s debut album Filling Your Silence compiled the soundtracks from the first two Raging Stallion Studios films, the production company he cofounded. Elbow Deep In The Hoopla features never-before-released scores from fisting-focused films. In the words of the Bay Area Reporter, these soundtracks are “quite possibly the best music for sex ever written.” jdslater.bandcamp.com

seeing on here that Bill Krohn died — want to recirculate his great 2004 Rouge piece on CRUISING, which integrates original research, auteurist critique, and narratology and is the best thing i've ever read about this endlessly fascinating film

Extremely proud to be able to help Ken get his work out there again and in front of the audience that he’s long deserved 🙂

Saw Highway Hypnosis when Liz screened it at the Music Box last year and it immediately became one of my favorite movies ever, in sensibility sort of “James Benning does Cecelia Condit” but still evades clean summary like that, masterpiece of video art inflected with SOV horror
