Why Pornographic Poetry? 

Pornography is defined as obscene writings, drawings, photographs, or the like, especially those having little or no artistic merit.

Poetry is the art of rhythmical composition, written or spoken, for exciting pleasure by beautiful, imaginative, or elevated thoughts.

Combining obscene writings and drawings having little or no artistic merit with rhythmical composition of imaginative, elevated, beautiful and sometimes obscene thoughts seems signatory of the times. 

Pornographic Poetry is intended to be both macrocosmic and microcosmic, without issueatic boundaries or limits.

Who/What is Pornographic Poetry?

Pornographic Poetry is the medium for publishing the audio and visual artwork by Jim Brenner....Pornographic Poetry initially began as a project entitled International Radio Tunes. International Radio Tunes was intended to be a progressive musical art project politically critical in nature... For lack of intrigue, the name and the concept were converted to Pornographic Poetry.  Under the new name, Pornographic Poetry represents a broad spectrum of topics... from politics, economics, human weakness and vulnerability, stupidity to sexuality.  The project is almost entirely a solo project with the exception of occasional collaboration. It's continuous, progressive and hopefully will grow over time to enormous proportions.

The Music Monopoly

Mix the high cost of recording technology to produce professional sound quality with a limit on the amount of publishing channels (only a few radio and TV stations) and you are able to reap huge profits on a simple song.  And, better yet, mix it with economies-of-scale high-cost manipulative marketing convincing people it's the greatest song ever using false testimony and bogus charts and you get the benefits of the music monopoly.

The true monopoly on music is achieved by the individual listener's innate need to be part of a greater common cultural phenomenon, binding the individual to a community seeking identity and acceptance.... To share a common experience with others of the time period.

An Album of Songs and Artwork

Album is defined as a printed book containing an anthology of writings, reproductions of photographs or artwork, musical compositions, etc.

Putting together a collection of 10 to 15 songs under one album title is completely arbitrary.  The idea is based on recent commercial tradition.  Originally, this project was intended to create a collection of songs based on a single theme to revive the idea of an album and to give purpose to its name.  This however, has proved to be too restrictive on creativity.  Therefore, there is not necessarily any purpose to presenting songs here in album format.  The songs may be reorganized one day to achieve the effect of theme-based albums.
