music in gay porno Surge Studios

Spider Taylor

–

“Spider Taylor crawls over to Dark Entries with Surge Studio Music, an album of archival gay pornographic soundtracks. – Spider Taylor – Surge Studio Music – In the early 80s, while working at the West Hollywood gay sex club Basic Plumbing, Taylor met Al Parker, the legendary pornographic actor and director, who recruited Taylor to produce the soundtrack for a film he was working on. Parker’s partnership with Steve Scott running Surge Studios produced some of the most popular all-male films of the era. Spider’s music was a natural fit for Surge, and throughout 1985 and 1986, he composed the soundtracks for five films produced by the iconic studio.” (check out the rest of the info at the link)

I highly recommend going over to Dark Entries to purchase this LP or CD – or both! (I ordered mine last night – Tell ’em BJ sent you!) Also available at bandcamp – where you can sample the tunes; whatever you do, avoid the big behemoths and support the small businesses that treat the artist better (higher percent of sales)

Meanwhile, to get a pre-Dark Entries mix – check this out on soundcloud

I know if I set my mind to it, I could get the five films – meanwhile, here’s one where Spider seems to have had some help? soundtrack: Spider Taylor & The Hollywood Foreskin Ensemble

the lusty bulls from MINOTAUR PRESS

what I could find, so far, of Minotaur‘s publications – seems they published just for 2-3 years, 1978-1981 at the latest. I had hoped to dive deeper, and include model names, perhaps other publications the images appeared in, but let’s just see if I have a complete list here:

  • MAGAZINE #1 (1978) – 52 pages
  • MAGAZINE #2 (1978) – 52 pages
  • MAGAZINE #3 (1978) – 52 pages



  • MANUAL #1 (1978) – Clay Russell cover – 40 pages
  • MANUAL #2 (1979) –
  • MINOTAUR #1 (1978) – with Clay Russell
  • MINOTAUR #2
  • MINOTAUR #3 (1978)





  • MUSCLE TONE #1
  • MUSCLE TONE #2
  • SPECTRUM ISSUE #1 (1978)
  • SPECTRUM ISSUE #2 (1979)



  • CHAMPS (1981) pics from MAGAZINE #1 (1978)

CHAMPS may not have been published by MINOTAUR, but contained pics only from MINOTAUR

Hy Chase

all together now – “languishing in my drafts folder….” was an attempt to document at least some periodicals featuring photography from HY CHASE – an effort I’ve had on my “to do” list before, so back at least 4 years. So – let’s just see what we have, edit a tad, hit publish, right?

From 1973-1978, Hy Chase photography was featured in In Touch magazine. In the late-1970s, he photographed most of the male models featured in the Janus series of publications. (Source: In Touch for Men, Hy Chase Special magazine) That’s the one shown above and just below, which – all together now – “I sold in an eBay auction back in….” 2004. I would also add I think he did at least some of the photography for the “Satyr” series as well. A few others mentioned below.


  • In Touch Vol1 No4 (1974) – 6-page BRUCE MORGAN spread
  • IN TOUCH: SPECIAL EDITION #1 (1975?)
  • IN TOUCH: SPECIAL EDITION #2 (1975?)
  • In Touch Portrait of Wally (1975?)
  • In Touch Portrait of Todd Peterson (1975?)
  • In Touch Portrait of Steve Nettles (1975?)
  • In Touch Portrait of David Miller (1975?)
  • In Touch Portrait of Chuck Ballard (1975?)
  • In Touch Portrait of Bob Diewit, Paul Rehus (AKA David Carter?), And John Hemm (1975?)

  • Drummer 12 (1977) – Intermountain Logging Company

Nick (HONCHO) Rodgers


Remember a few weeks back when I discovered that Nick Rodgers was also a photographer? Back in the Gas Jockey post – and then I set out to find all his photospreads……but, alas, I’ve only come up with 3 – all nice, but was hoping for more!

    Nick Rodgers photography credits:

  • HONCHO Dec 1982 – Tanker
  • HONCHO Dec 1983 – Country Comforts (this guy, in this post)
  • HONCHO Dec 1983 – Gas Jockey

NOVA films

Hot Type


Tricking On The Job – starring Mike Trainor (aka Duncan, aka Mr. Footlong) and Nick Vallano. I’ve posted before on these guys, when i wasn’t quite sure who they were, and now I do, and was hoping to post the pornoclip, but alas, don’t have it and can’t find it!

We do have YorjYefferson’s Tricking review – but the link to the film is no longer working. So, as you may have guessed, this is another “drafts folder” post that I just have to finish up and post, despite not having the clip. It started off because I found several individual photos for sale on line from the film (at like $35 a pop!) and knew I had a digital version of the magazine, Hot Type. (The “tricking” takes place at a printing press, where they are typesetting, hence the HOT type?)





and of course, y’all remember when we discovered that Nick Vallano is the same actor/model as Mike Mann, right? (there will be a quiz)

A(a)ron


left-handed post-surgery draft file reducing posting continues

I love this photograph, but only had a vague idea he was probably a mid-80’s pornstar

After “languishing” on the desktop (ah, he can languish anywhere he wants with that schlong!) it’s Aaron Gage

apparently one of his films was Brian’s Boys (if you know, you know…) – seen below with Mark Davis as the sheets fight the wallpaper.
