Shirt by Typisk Lesbisk
Available Now: The Shirt
The first year of CATCH FIRE has now passed by and I hope you all had as much of a good time as I had. I’m really proud of the fact so many people visit the site daily and that the feedback I get is so good. As you can see I got myself a birthday present: Stefan from Butchqueen, a new shirt label for a new generation of fashion-conscious bears, has designed both a new header for the site and a CATCH FIRE shirt, which is available from now on at the Butchqueen webshop (click here for a higher resolution of the motive). So if you have caught fire over the past few months or simply like the idea of a shirt that’s got the chest hair on the outside click here or on the following button to get this nice piece of clothing:

“Queer Print”: The Complete Interviews
My blog neighbour Johnny Murdoc has recently published an essay called “Queer Print: Keep The Counterculture Coming“. For his text which introduces the reader to the flourishing gay/queer zine culture he has interviewed three guys running their own zines: Christopher Schulz (Pinups Magazine), Darren Ankenbaur (Handbook) and Amos Mac (Original Plumbing). These interviews will be published in the following days in their complete length on Johnny Mordocs blog. The feature with Christopher Schulz (the guy on the picture above) is already online, check it out here. Thanks, Johnny! UPDATE: Click here for the interview with Darren Ankenbauer. UPDATE II: Amos Mac here.
Vintage Gay Porn Trailer x 2: Inches / A Deep Compassion
Here are two trailers from a time when porn movies actually had something like a story: Steve Scott’s INCHES is a gay porn classic from 1979 and was one of the first longer movies that featured Al Parker (1952-1992) who started off as a butler of Hugh Hefner and became a porn star in the eighties. I found this nice trailer on Colin Quinn’s tumblr and I’m curious how long YouTube is going to keep it online. An explicit version can be found on the webpage of Bijou Video, a vintage porn distributor. On Bijou’s YouTube channel you also find the trailer of A DEEP COMPASSION from 1972. Here a young blind boy is “caught in a web of sin and cruelty” in a dramatic story of “biblical proportions”. Sounds great! UPDATE: The Bijou Video channel has been deleted by YouTube for showing to much explicit stuff. I tried to find the clips on their website, but the page is also currently down. So at least for now it seems like the trailers are no longer available on the internet.
