"Tight" DVD (director: Shaun Donnelly)


This faux-documentary highlights a "band" (called Tight) formed entirely by current and former porn stars. Managed by Charlie Sheen "goddess" Bree Olson (who, by the way, is one of the worst actresses here), these 4 girls strike out as rockers, and this reality-TV-style documentary presents their tour of mostly small bars and back alley dives.

Along the way, we get to see sexy backstage antics (sometimes with male fans taking part), onstage music (not likely to get these girls a recording contract anytime soon), plenty of catty interviews, and in-band fighting. It's all very voyeuristic, staged, and...somehow, oddly alluring. Perhaps this is the epitome of "trash cinema", and although I can't endorse anything here as essential or truly worthwhile, I found it all a good bit of guilty pleasure.

Megasus - "Megasus" CD

Dense, large, and rumbling aggro-doom-metal from some Rhode Islanders who collect their paychecks from ("Rock Band" and "Guitar Hero" video game developers) Harmonix, and a drummer who plays bass in Lightning Bolt. This is their debut, and it whacks handily with mighty riffage and pummeling drumming, akin to some of the better stoner-metal acts around. "Swords" is a massive, primal mountain of droning riffs and thunderous drums, laying waste to the modern world. It's not for the faint-hearted, for sure. "Hexes/Szaadek" is another behemoth of loud, bonecrushing aggression, like if Slayer teamed up with the Melvins, got high together, and then got into a raging fist-fight. "Red Lottery" is another speedy assault of dangerous noise and fury. This is some evil and engrossing metal of remarkable acumen. Fully worthy. (20 Buck Spin)
