Friday Happenings

Porn

-- Sex shop Good Vibrations presents its third annual Amateur Erotic Film Festival. (Read our interview with Good Vibes's Carol Lombard.) It's not the place to go if you don't want to know how your neighbors knock boots. A pre-party at the Good Vibrations store kicks things off. Good Vibrations, 308A Harvard St. (enter from the rear), Brookline, 7:30 p.m. Free. Screening at Coolidge Corner Theatre, 290 Harvard St., Brookline, 9:30 p.m. $10/$12.

Radio on Stage

-- Counter-Productions dug up the scripts from the cult 1950s science fiction radio show X Minus One and arranged them for the stage. The radio show was heavy on technological distopia and featured writing from the stars of the SF filament. Shorts in the Counter-Productions staging will include work by George Lefferts, Murray Leinster, and J.T. MacIntosh. The Piano Factory, 791 Tremont St., 8 p.m. (through November 23). $20/$15.

Disco/Not Disco

-- Everybody's favorite cellist and disco outsider Arthur Russell is the subject of the film Wild Combination: A Portrait of Arthur Russell by Matthew Wolf. Russell, whose music includes both dirty disco anthems like "Is It All Over My Face?" and introspective art music like World of Echo, died in obscurity from AIDS in 1992. Thanks to the music reissue industry, his name is now common currency in hipster households. Remis Auditorium, Museum of Fine Arts, 6:15 p.m. $10/$8.

Dusty Grooves

-- DJ John Funke, host of WMBR's Backwoods program, doesn't mess with MP3. His collection of 45s feature deep grooves and deeper bass. He spins choice cuts tonight at The Wobble, a new RnB dance night. Milky Way Lounge and Lanes, 403 Centre St., Jamaica Plain, 9 p.m. Free.
