A brief update on the so-called Jimi Hendrix sex tape, which I am tentatively titling “Third Bone from the Sun.” Alternate titles are “Bone Free,” “Pelvic Depression” and “Doodoo-hole Chile.” I told you how the video, currently in the hands of Vivid Entertainment, depicts someone who generally looks like Jimi (meaning black man with a large afro and a bandana) putting it to two brunettes. Experience Hendrix, the company that controls rights to Jimi’s music and likeness, already came out questioning the authenticity of the nearly 40-year-old film footage and that’s all well and good, but questioning it isn’t stating it strongly enough. I need a definitive “yes” or “no.” Well, now we have it. Jimi’s brother Leon says nope, not him, but keep trying. Leon says, “The person in that film is not Jimi. Yes, he had many female fans during that time and some may have been filmed. But this one is not Jimi Hendrix.” So, maybe this one isn’t the Jimi Hendrix sex tape that the internet has been clamoring for since Al Gore invented it, also inventing message boards, torrent sites and Bangbus.com, but that tape is out there somewhere. If your mom was a whore in the 60s and claims to have been at the Monterrey Music Festival, start checking the attic for reels of footage with your mom getting the “Third Bone from the Sun” from Jimi Hendrix.

And speaking off Jimi, a new record has been set in his honor. 1,900 Polish guitarists, which, coincidentally is the same number of Poles it takes to screw in a light bulb, set the world record for people simultaneously playing “Hey Joe.”

This is the second year running that they have set the record. They set it first that the town's annual Thanks Jimi Festival in 2007. They got 1881 players last year. They sent out their fleet of screen door clad submarines to the far ends of the world to find more guitarist. They found nineteen more and called it good.

And finally a little bit of cool news to drizzle on your vaguely disturbing, vaguely racist blog this evening. Pixies frontman Frank Black will serve as the opening act for some upcoming Stone Temple Pilots shows. So far he’s scheduled for the LA, Tucson, San Antonio and Colorado shows, but it’s not yet clear if he’ll play the Seattle Show on August 31^st or if STP will play anywhere closer to Portland.
