Jimi's jimmy

Dead-rock-icon dick: one night only!

A plaster cast of Jimi Hendrix's cock, transsexual punk Jayne County's painting Penis Trees and Snakes in the Shape of Half-Created Humans, and Ramones art director Arturo Vega's series "Porn Is the New Rock": just a few examples of what to expect at the reception at Club Passim for "Hung," a group show of rock-associated artists curated by Punk magazine photographer John Nikolai. Vega, Punk publisher John Holmstrom, and NYC punk-era photographer Godlis will be taking questions at the reception, which also features a performance by punk granddaddies Unnatural Axe. Jimi's jimmy has been banned by Passim after tonight's event, so head down to 47 Palmer St, Cambridge 5 pm 617.492.7679.

CRINGE: No audio files to pimp this event, but hyping Cynthia Plaster Caster's comic-porn site almost makes up for it. Make sure you click on the left-nav sidebar: it squirts.

RUPERTSPACE-WEEK BONUS: curator/Punk magazine photog John Nikolai's real MySpace page (careful: under general interests, he says he'd like "to lock you up my home"), his barren MySpace page (dude needs some friends here), and Jimi Hendrix's page. (Didja know one of Jimi's favorite movies was How Stella Got Her Groove Back?)
