Puscifer - A Bohemian Rhapsody
Spin Magazine provides a review:
Puscifer mostly play it straight on their recent cover of Queen's glam-opera classic "Bohemian Rhapsody," which appears on the band's new Donkey Punch the Night EP, out today (February 19). The same can't be said of the six-minute epic's John Waters-flavored music video. Frontman Maynard James Keenan and drag performer Dina Martina superimpose their heads over old black-and-white film footage, guest-starring in 1950s hook-ups at look-out point and testicular exams in the doctor's office. More disembodied heads later float over the Taj Mahal, the pyramids of Egypt, and other locations as MJK pummels a keyboard and leads an inspired "WILL NOT LET YOU GO" bridge. Dina Martina hijacks the final two minutes though, lip-syncing in front of a karaoke room backdrop that cuts from an acid-rock freakout to a cloudy screensaver. Watch the whole thing up above.

Dina Martina At Cutting Room
Friday night, Aaron and I visited Chris Noth's Cutting Room for the opening night of Provincetown legend Dina Martina's new show. If you've never experienced Dina, expect a bewildering cavalcade of songs, props and malaprops, spoonerisms and Norm Crosbyisms. The Dina Martina Show runs at the Cutting Room through March 9th. Highly recommended. Get tickets here.Labels: Cutting Room, Dina Martina, drag, nightlife, NYC
