Traci Lords kicks ass

I understood from Traci Lords's Twitter that she's going to be releasing some music again this summer. You know Traci Lords, the famous underage porn star, who used to be really hot:



Heck, for all I know she's still really hot. I don't keep up. I recommend her autobiography, Underneath It All; it's a fascinating, if at times slightly grim read.



If she does release some music this summer, it won't be her first foray into the music business. Back in 1995, she released an album called 1000 Fires:

The album was produced by Juno Reactor, and it's through them that I can make the perhaps unexpected connection between Traci Lords and Laibach. On their 1997 album Bible of Dreams, Juno Reactor published a song called God Is God, which I can't embed here because YouTube is stupid. I have to admit that I'm more familiar with this version of the song:



So there. Didn't expect that. Perhaps an even stranger connection is that the female vocals on the Juno Reactor original are supplied by Natacha Atlas, and one of her songs is on the soundtrack to Project Gotham Racing 4 on the XBox, a game that I play like alot.

The first single from 1000 Fires was Control, which some of you may remember from Paul W. S. Anderson's movie Mortal Kombat. It's an awesome song with a great music video.


Lady Gaga? Fuck Lady Gaga.
