Hey everybody, this is Jeremy (aka: Jaffa) from your friendly neighborhood queercore blog, QueerPunks.com here to fill everybody in on a few things.
About a month and a half ago, QueerPunks very own Adam- founder of the site- decided it was a good time for him to bow out to focus more on his personal life and what have you, to which of course we should all wish him the best of luck in everything. He turned over the site to me, funnily enough when I was let go from my own job. So the combination of things has led to the site just having nothing going on for a while.
SO, this is where things are right now. Now here’s the goals;
The site is very reliant on your help, now more than ever. I’m going to get back to doing at least once a week updates, including pimping out new queercore bands and more interviews, but I can only cover so much ground. If you haven’t already, go sign up to the site and start posting your opinions and rants on the scene, queer culture, politics, film, books, anything that you think is relevant to queer alternative culture. This is a small community we’re a part of, so it’s time for every voice to be heard.
Speaking of community, merch is still something I have in mind. I know of a place I can get stickers made for a good price, but does anybody know where I could get short-run buttons and tee-shirts made? Send me an email if you’ve got any leads on that, and if it pans out you just might get a package for free.
For the bands and labels out there; I’ve talked to many of you about doing a QueerPunks.com compilation and I still want to do that, but right now is not a good time for that. So, it hasn’t been abandoned only bumped back.
There’s still other plans I have in mind, but this is all for now. So for now, sign up, post, and if you have anything to say just message me at Jaffa [at] QueerPunks.com.
Rock on,
-Jeremy
Hey Guys,
I write to talk about my new gay-themed, campy slasher “Skull &
Bones” (USA, 2007, 73 minutes). The tagline “A Tale of Homo-cidal
Mania” sums up my original and darkly humorous take on a traditional
genre: http://www.skullandbonesthemovie.com
Allow me to highlight other key features of the film:

In the current issue of the SF Bay Times, queer rock columnist Don Baird penned a eulogy of Adam Block. Block was a rock journalist who for many years had a column in the gay news magazine The Advocate called Block on Rock. Despite the stereotype of gays being only into dance music, he was writing for a gay audience about rock music, as the title of the column forthrightly stated.I started reading his column in the mid-1980s when I was a student in Northfield, Minnesota. The library at Carleton College had a subscription. I was a student at the Lutheran college St. Olaf (no Golden Girls jokes, please) and I would cross town to go to the gay support group at the more liberal Carleton (and met my first two boyfriends, both “Carls.”)I kept reading the magazine after graduation at Quatrefoil Library in St. Paul, a gay non-profit lending library, and sometime in 1988 in Adam’s column, he wrote about early gay zines (the word queer hadn’t come into vogue yet) including G.B. Jones and Bruce LaBruce’s J.D.s, which I sent off for and received in the mail. I also wrote off for copies of Homocore and Boysville U.S.A. Eventually I started my own zine, Holy Titclamps, and in 1990, as I noted in the editorial introduction to issue #4, Adam wrote up my zine in his column in The Advocate. Through his writing and sharing information, Adam did a lot to spread the word and had a major impact on development of the queercore scene. A lot of his old columns can be found on microfilm of back issues of The Advocate in libraries. I would suggest seeking them out.I wish I’d taken an opportunity to tell Adam about the impact he had on me while he was still around.
