As you may have heard the Sonic Youth guitarist/frontman/noisemaker is getting into the porn industry. Ok, not really, he won’t be felching or giving anyone dirty sanchez’s (or at least not in this film; what he does in the privacy of his own home is his business).
Moore recently lently his avante noise-rock talents to the score of “Extra Action (And Extra Hardcore),” a pornographic film that apparently features “real women: unpretentious, unadorned, and definitely undressed” (as opposed to the animated, fussy, dolled-up and fully-dressed women in most porns).
Directed by photographer/filmmaker Richard Kern (who shot music videos for Sonic Youth – he also photographed the cover of Evol – Marilyn Manson and a short film that featured the music of the Butthole Surfers) the skin-flick apparently convinces women to “roll around and do something interesting for a few minutes.” Sounds riveting. We’re sure watching naked women writhing around to skronky noise rock (with wah-wah pedal?) will be a turn-on for someone out there.
Those looking to buy birthday gifts for their Piscean friends, the DVD is due March 18 via MVD, and it will feature Moore’s original score and previously unreleased Kern flicks as extras (probably just more porn). This isn’t actually the first time Moore has written music for blue movie – he provided an original soundtrack to an hour-long DVD accompanying Kern’s 2007 photo book, “Action.” We’re assuming Kim Gordon is cool with all of it.
