The Lost Boys


A (pretty queer) blog managed by Peter Knegt... and written by various folks in solidarity against being found.

I was thinking that my first blog post ought to be something representative and character-defining, to set the tone for my no doubt enormous new readership.

I met Peter on a rain-drenched roadside in the Scottish Highlands as fellow travellers on Mark Cousins and Tilda Swinton's Pilgrimage. Since then we have interviewed Queen Noor of Jordan in Dubai, engaged in controversy-baiting "art photography" at a nudist pond in Berlin, and mistaken Cindy Crawford for a transsexual in London.

I am a hustler of words living and writing in Montreal. I’m a regular contributor to Nightlife Magazine, Lickety Split Smut Zine, and 2B Magazine. My essay on pornographic audio “The Signal is Jammed” appears in the 2009 Arsenal Pulp Press anthology I Like it Like That. My work is also featured in Xtra, Cliteraturejournal, Empty Mirror Books, Subversions: Journal of Gender and Sexuality, Lambda Literary, and Broken Pencil Magazine. In grade six, all of the other boys dreamed of being hockey players, but I wanted to be Annie Lennox. Because of this, I often write about the intersections of music, desire, and identity. In the winter of 2007, I began the Sound Sex Project, an archival work that examines the kinds of music that people use during sex. I completed my M.A., My Body is a Mix Tape: Music and Desire in the Sound Sex Project, in the Media Studies program at Concordia University in 2008. I’m also interested in spiders and cephalopods, and to satiate my fauna fascination, I co-author the blog Running With Sharks. A comprehensive listing of my work is available at www.markambroseharris.blogspot.com.

This blog is now over four years old (!), and while I've thoroughly enjoyed having it all to myself, the time has come for it to evolve. And for my half dozen regular readers (hi Mom!) I can assure you this change is very much a good thing.

Basically, I decided that since Indiewire has a whole was getting a big makeover, why not do the same 'round these parts. And not just aesthetically (though I must thank Sebastian Speier for designing our nifty new logo), but fundamentally: Adding an "s" to end of its title and opening it up to a few more contributors. And not just anyone, but people I genuinely bring a lot to the table in very different ways.

There's six new "lost boys" to start: Mark Ambrose Harris, Brad Horvath, Matthew Hammett Knott, Derek Marchewka, Pedro Marum and Oliver Skinner.  All good friends of mine, they seemed like the obvious first new additions as they all bring a totally different views and interests to the table. I'll let them all introduce themselves in the following four posts:

Meet Mark Ambrose Harris

Meet Brad Horvath

Meet Matthew Hammett Knott

Meet Derek Marchewka

Meet Pedro Marum

Meet Oliver Skinner

From hereonin, look for the author tag to see which of us is posting. And also bear with us in the next week or so as we work out the new bells and whistles of Indiewire's awesome new operating system.  

Also note that more "boys" will be added in the coming months, and while yes, the first four "lost boys" are all indeed physically boys, it is not my intention to limit the gender of this blog's new contributors. It was genuinely just sort of random that the first batch all fit the blogs title literally. Figuratively, of course, the title refers to the fact that we are all vampires.

Things look a bit different, no?

Well they should look even more so in a week's time, so excuse the lack of posting until then.

By next week the blog should be back up and running with a bit of an overhaul regarding its approach... It's somewhat exciting so do check back.
