Heated Hears a Ho

A brief update to Tuesday's post about the Heated Rivalry soundtrack getting a physical media release -- it's released! Well the pre-order, anyway. Click here and the vinyl can be yours on July 10th. That's just a couple of days before my birthday -- it's like they knew. And if they did know then I expect my vinyl to arrive in a ridiculously too large box,  one which any one of the show's four male breakout stars -- Storrie, Williams, Arnaud and Robbie G.K. -- will then pop out of to wish me a happy birthday in whatever way they see fit. Well whatever way I see fit. It's my birthday, I make the rules! What was I talking about? Oh right, a record or whatever. Gotta run, got thoughts to think, bye...

Because I love the insane conversations that happen in the comments of every Heated Rivalry post so very much, let's do a fresh one! In truth I just wanted to post the above photo of Connor Storrie, but there is actual news of note -- specifically the show's ace soundtrack is getting a physical media release! On both vinyl and CD (this whole CD renaissance thing is so weird to me)... 

... and you can pre-order it this Thursday. Well at 12:01am, so, you know, very early Thursday slash late Wednesday night. All the info is at this link. The album will inclue lots of the show's killer needle-drops (that Wolf Parade banger we all had caught in our heads!) as well as the score. You can see the entire track-list on the image below (just click it and it will embiggen). So if this is your bag, bag on baby! And if it's not please tell me all about it in the comments, I'm just dying to hear about it.

Today's Fanboy Delusion

Today I'd rather be...

... the Heated boys' hose.

Good Morning, 2026

Hello, good people of Earth, and welcome (hell-come?) to 2026. This holiday break was so long that bringing up the gay hockey sensation Heated Rivalry now feels almost passé, but let us recall -- the last time I was up in here I still hadn't watched the show! That didn't last long though -- it was my first binge of several over the holidays, and... well it was also my second of the holidays because I watched it through twice. Once for me, and then a second time so my boyfriend could watch. It was just as good the second time. (Your thoughts?) I'm a little surprised we're leading with star Hudson Williams this morning to be honest, just because there have been about fifty times as many photoshoots of his co-star Connor Storrie, but the luck of the draw (i.e. this was the first photoshoot I found buried in my stuff this morning) favored Hudson (shot for Timid magazine) and we're a-okay with that. So while we get ourselves settled back in the blogging seat y'all go and enjoy this full photoshoot after the jump...

The Heated Rivalry Boys Heat Up GQ

Since I really have nothing new to add to the Heated Rivalry discussion that I haven't said in our previous posts on the hot queer hockey romance, since as I said previously I'm saving the show for a good stiff binge over the holiday break, let's take a couple of side-jaunts now here that we have the show's breakout stars Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams reenacting controversial those Calvin Klein pornography advertisments on the cover of GQ magazine -- okay maybe this first thing isn't a side-jaunt because... WHAT? I'd heard this show had been building as a word-of-mouth hit but who could've foreseen this level of steamy gayness front and center in American Culture? The cover of GQ? 

I did not think I'd live to see the day, honestly. (And it is still early in the day, given the way of the world, so let's not get ahead of ourselves too far.) But by all accounts this show's really busted into the mainstream in a way most gay shit does not -- they talked about it on The View! Which yes means a big part of this is that straight women are enjoying it, but that really is a shift in culture -- that straight American women are openly, happily admitting that the sight of two men in flagrente doesn't gross them out now.  Even a decade ago this was not the case. (Well except one of my good friends. You know who you are, darlin!) 

Anyway that's cool. The other thing, the actual side-jaunt I wanted to take, was -- what shows should I watch over the break? I have this one, I have Pluribus, I have Boots (RIP Boots). I know there are even more but I'm blanking. Generally just assume I haven't seen anything new lately and recommend me some stuff to watch over the break. And in return I'll gift you all these photos after this break...

Good Morning, World

Am I being gay-baited by Heated Rivalry co-stars Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams and more importantly -- do I give a shit if I am? The answer to the second question is a firm, hard no. I never care.  For my entire life I've watched straight guys have a monopoly on the spectacle of straight girls making out at bars for their pleasure, and I want in on that sweet action. We're all consenting adults having a good time dammit! Let them eat cake! Let us all eat cake!

Okay these Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams chaps are OUT OF CONTROL #heatedrivalry
