Corbin Fisher: Chaz

Corbin Fisher: Chaz
Chaz may very well be one of the nicest guys Corbin has had the pleasure of shooting! That he is hot and built makes for quite the nice bonus! We suspect a lot of viewers are going to really dig his shaggy hair and surfer/skater look, as he definitely looks like your trademark West Coast hottie. You’ll notice in his interview, as well, that he’s engaging, friendly, totally chill and all about having fun.

QCA Music: Arthur Russell


The above is a trailer for an excellent film about gay musician Arthur Russell entitled, Wild Combinations – A Portrait of Arthur Russell.
Wild Combination is a film about gay American cellist, composer, singer, and disco artist, Charles Arthur Russell Jr. Russell’s use of unlikely pairings of sounds helped establish himself as a forerunner of modern music. He also dabbled in disco, for which he is perhaps best known, but also combined orchestral instruments with pop-stylings following in the vein of the Beatles, punk rock, and even some Indian and African music (incorporating drums, mantras, and refrains into his tunes). His vocals reveal a gentle, graceful folk quality both transcendent and painful that fall somewhere between lullabies and art songs. In his latter days, he eventually pioneered “echo music,” songs whose instrumentation and distorted vocals evoke the acoustics of large spaces, caverns, and skies, surely influenced by his rural upbringing and Buddhist spirituality.
Russell was born in Oskaloosa, Iowa in 1952. Before moving to New York in 1973 at the age of 22, he had lived in a Buddhist commune and studied Indian music in California. His early years in the city included a stay with Allen Ginsberg, an East Village address shared by punk maestro Richard Hell, and collaborations with Philip Glass and John Cage. He ran with filmmakers, painters, performance artists. During his own lifetime, Russell somewhat avoided the limelight, releasing his albums under different pseudonyms and sabotaging his creative collaborations by being unable to relinquish control. Russell died of AIDS on April 4, 1992, at the age of 40. In an April 28 column, Kyle Gann of The Village Voice wrote: “His recent performances had been so infrequent due to illness, his songs were so personal, that it seems as though he simply vanished into his music.” His estate rests in the hands of his then-boyfriend.
Russell was prolific, but was also notorious for leaving songs unfinished and continually revising his music. Musician and producer Ernie Brooks said that Russell “never arrived at a completed version of anything,” while Peter Gordon stated, “his quest wasn’t really to do a finished product but more to do with exploring his different ways of working musically.” He left behind more than 1,000 tapes when he died, 40 of them different mixes of one song.
The film is really worth seeing, and if you’ve never heard him, do yourself the favor of listening to a few of his songs right after the jump…

And Now… Some “Safe For Work” Porn


File this under “queer, but not gay.” If you haven’t seen this hilarious video yet, it’s an advertisement for a party thrown by Diesel which quickly went viral because of its wild hilarity. Some of the animated covers for the sex act involving ice cream cones and corn are kinda obvious. But the brief musical section and scenes turning fingering and jerking into everyday actions send this video into the comic stratosphere. It’s called “SFW” (safe for work), but if you’re looking at this site, you’re probably not all too concerned with that.

QC DIY: Compliments That Don’t Stink

Apple polisher!
We’ve all heard that funny come-on, “Nice shoes! Wanna fuck?” Compliments like that reek—you can bet the speaker is less interested in your fashionable loafers than he is in your underwear. But bad compliments are all kinda like that—they come off as phony, superfluous, or with strings attached.
A well-placed compliment, on the other hand can help raise spirits, defuse stress, strengthen a bond, or break the ice. So here are a couple of tips to help you deliver a sincere, heartfelt compliments, even when they seem hard to find.
1) BE SINCERE: Praising someone just because you think it’s a good idea is a bad idea. Phoniness is easy to spot and destroys credibility. So if your friend’s public performance was a flop, don’t praise their act. Praise their effort, their dedication, or their other accomplishments.
2) BE SPECIFIC: A compliment like “That was a marvelous mojito!” praises your host for their bartending skills. That’s so much better than “Wow, that was a quite a drink!” which makes it sound like they put in too much alcohol because the compliment is vague. Similarly, saying “I really loved that joke about the nun and the mayonnaise,” lets a joke teller know which of their quips made a memorable impression on you.
3) DON’T COMPARE: Never compare one person’s accomplishment to another. Telling a friend at a karaoke bar “At least you sang better than Bob,” is kinda like saying “At least you didn’t suck as much as he did.” Your friend doesn’t want to feel better about themselves by shitting on someone else. They want to be appreciated on their own merit… jerk.
4) GIVING COMPLIMENTS AT WORK: Unless you’re close with a colleague, it’s best to compliment one’s work skills rather than their personal appearance. That goes double for any superior or subordinate. Hierarchical work relationships contain a power dynamic that may make the compliment seem loaded or easily misunderstood. When it comes to compliments at work, stick to business.
5) GETTING PERSONAL: Did you friend just start using a baldness cure, have a gastric bypass surgery, or get Botox injections? There are some occassions when you want to acknowledge a change in a person’s appearance, but aren’t sure how. In these cases, simply say, “Wow, you look marvelous!” and if the person wants to talk about it, they will. Otherwise, if they just say thank you, let it drop, change the subject, and ask a mutual acquaintance about it later.
6) RECEIVING A COMPLIMENT: Simply say, “Thank you.” DON’T say, “Are you nuts?!” “It was nothing,” “You’re just being nice,” or “Please, I just threw this together.” Such self-effacing comments don’t make you come off as humble or self-effacing; they make it sound as if you’re disparaging, disputing, or diminishing someone’s compliment. To do so insults the giver by questioning their judgments, standards, taste, or—worse—their sincerity. A simple “thank you” will make you come off as gracious and grounded.
Like any other skill, it’s a good idea to practice giving compliments. You’ll get better at spotting opportunities to give them and eventually garner a few yourself.

Then Wes takes off, and sneaks quietly back to find Paul cooling down in the old wash tub and doing some stroking of his own. Check out the surprise ending in the full length video as Paul blows his huge load in front of his hidden buddy.
