Porn star karaoke

I found out about Porn Star Karaoke from NPR. No, really. National Public Radio.

The NPR story was about Alex Jablonski and Michael Totten, who decided to do a documentary once a month for a year. Almost like a certain karaoke blogger who has written a karaoke blog every day for over a week now!

Jablonski and Totten called the project Sparrow Songs. You can see all twelve of the short documentaries at their website, or on vimeo. The first documentary is about the fellow who inspired them, a song writer who has put together an album every month for a year. Documentary #5 is assembled from a twelve hour visit to a donut shop. Documentary #8 is about a circus family.

And documentary #3 is about the karaoke bar Sardo's of Burbank. You can go sing there pretty much every night, but on Tuesday night, they offer something with a twist. There are porn stars there.

Here it's a relaxed environment where people can get together, have some drinks, enjoy themselves and see your favorite performer do something ... out of the ordinary, which is, get up on stage and sing rather than go on stage and have sex.

Sardo's put together their own video of Pornstar Karaoke. I dunno. Somehow they missed out on the seedy and pathetic parts of the Jablonski / Totten documentary.

By the way, Sardo's has family night on Fridays. I am John the Revelator Seymour, and I am no relation to Seymour Satin, owner of Sardo's.
