Let's play ... Master and Servant

Forgive me for posting another video online, but I can't get this song out of my head. You see, Fetish Con 2008 was just here in Tampa Bay over the weekend, and if Depeche Mode's "Master and Servant" isn't that convention's theme song, it damn well should be.

FetishconThe annual trade show for the whips-and-chains crowd attracts thousands of kinksters every year with seminars titled "Pain for Pleasure," "Polyanarchy: Power Exchange in a Multi-Partnered Relationship" and "Wax Play: Hot Fun For Everyone." There even was a B&D wedding!

And of course, we have all the photos online at tampabay.com to chronicle the weekend. Click here to view there. I'm fairly sure they're safe for work.

Final parting thought: Is "Master and Servant" the ultimate song for the fetish scene? What about "Slave to Love" by Bryan Ferry? "Violent Love" by Oingo Boingo? Or even "Erotica" by Madonna? What obvious songs are we forgetting?

Seriously? No one thought of Erasure's "Chains of Love"? Really?

:)

Rarely does a movie have such yin and yang as "Exit to Eden."

I still can't fathom why they tried to make it a comedy in parts, and keep to the spirit of the book in other parts.

I'd seriously crawl through broken glass to hang out with Dana Delaney though.

billyshakes

Spearsy,

Slave to Love is also featured in Dana Delaney's bondage flic Exit to Eden that you talked about on this weeks podcast.

Beware the Rosie O'D scene in leather S&M gear or her pole dance scene. Thank goodness for FFWD.

CHAD

Spears

Actually, the thought of pork makes me want to hurl. And over the weekend, a friend made a bunch of taco meat for a guy's night of movies and booze. That didn't go down well either.

My big obstacle will forgoing Chik-Fil-A.

BTW Steve-o, I agree, the version of Violent Love is better on Boingo Alive! The anithesis of this of course would be the Boingo song, Not My Slave.

Congrats on the vegetarian thing. Mark my words, though, one whiff of smoked pork products, and you'll be back my friend.

Snap Into A Slim Jim!

Not really 80's, but Roxy Music's classic "In Every Dreamhome A Heartache" has some appropriate fetish content. Seek it out...it has a twist ending that will "blow you mind" :) I guess if we included the live version from 1990's "Heart Still Beating" album which was recorded in 1982 at Frejus we might be able to make it work. Interesting footnote is that King Crimson opened that show, and released a video of that performance (titled, "The Noise"). The cameras were already there to record Roxy, and since KC was a label-mate on EG records at the time, they asked to have their show filmed as well. Not sure if the Roxy show ever got released.

damn, I went and babbled "epic" again. Sorry folks. :)

I forgot how clumsy the studio version on "Violent Love" is until I watched the youtube clip again.

Trust me, the live version off Boingo Alive is much, much better.
