This is the front of my baby. The patches are from: Conflict(anarcho-punk), acid bath(sudge metal), Disgust(d-beat/crust), the one on the sleave to the left if crass(anarcho-punk), the one on the right is from a punk band called Glitchers that travel across England and the two on the sides are a pentagram and a burning church to show my liking of black matal.

Welcome to the Bones Gazette

If you’ve been looking for an inside scoop of what’s happening in the diy music and art scene, you’ve come to the right place. And if you haven’t, I invite you to stay a while—you just might find your next favorite band, poet, or painter. With this blog, I aim to curate a space where especially interesting and under-appreciated talent can finally be recognized—with a particular focus on uplifting queer, black, and POC voices. There is a wealth of art, music, and literature out in the ether. The people at the helm of that expression deserve their flowers. If you would like to submit a song, poem, or guest blog to the Bones Gazette, there will be more details at the bottom of this post.

So who am I? 

I’m your dutiful host: MJ Bones! I am an avid lover of art in all of its forms, with a knack for writing. It was only a matter of time before I’d venture into the blogosphere. As a diy musician and artist myself, I’ve had the privilege to meet so many other talented people over the years. The grit, passion, and community mindset of diy is unlike anything I’ve witnessed in other scenes. It is truly a remarkable thing to be a part of. 

In the realm of diy, we’ve got each other’s backs. Much of the community is comprised of queer folk, addicts in recovery, and people trying to navigate life with mental illness and disabilities. Our ranks consist of some of the most vulnerable groups of people on the planet. That fact, coupled with a heavy overlap in leftist politics, makes for an innate sense of duty to protect each other. Whether you’re going hungry, kicking a habit, battling demons, or exploring your gender identity, you will always find support here.

I have so much pride in this scene and what it stands for. Diy saved my life. It continues to save my life every time I go to a show, or an art opening, or an anarchist bookstore. This world is a scary place, but there are little pockets of wonder and beauty everywhere—if you know where to look. 

So welcome, everyone, to the Bones Gazette! I hope you can find some community with me in this virtual space. Not only will I try my best to get you plugged in to the coolest shit ever, but also keep you posted on my own contributions to the zeitgeist of the underground.  Additionally, I’ll keep an ongoing reference of mutual aid organizations to check out if you or someone you love is in need. 

This brings me to the tofu and potatoes of it all: the Bones Gazette newsletter! I am beyond excited to announce that I will be publishing a free monthly newsletter to supplement this blog. The newsletter will have a more honed-in focus on featured artists, with exclusive interviews and in-depth reviews of their work. The first issue will be covering the January release of Blue Raspberry’s debut album, The Harmless Haunt—so stay tuned!

Thank you so much for reading. If you would like to submit something to the blog, email [email protected]. Make sure to specify what you are submitting in the subject line, as well as include a short bio and link to your socials with your work. 

If you would like to be considered for the monthly feature in the newsletter, or have any other inquiries, email [email protected], specifying which in the subject line.

Until next time, 

–MJ

it’s not very punk to gatekeep diypunk LMAO the irony of it all

The fact that this dude is saying this while I’m laying down in a house my bf and I both fucking built ourselves ads more irony.

DIY Punk = punks that do DIY shit

That’s all it is, this dude is TRIPPING.

Or from twitter (๑´ㅂ`๑)

#ask #anon #I’m not offended tho or mad #I am just surprised this was an actual complaint #I wouldnt say they are gatekeeping tho #just new to tumblr or the punk scene

Alison is named after the guitar I wrote all of the songs on. This EP is raw and is full of the rage and joy of being trans in America. It is currently live on bandcamp and will be streaming everywhere soon.

Bones Gazette: Back from my Unannounced Hiatus

Hello and welcome back to the Bones Gazette! It’s been a while—seven months to be exact (which pains me to admit, but hey—shit happens). What can I say? Life got a little crazy for me and this blog took a long retreat to the Back Burner of my mind. I apologize for the time away, but I am so glad to be back!

MJ Bones has had an incredible year, one I had intended to document as it was happening. I kicked off the year with a lovely east coast weekender with my friends BlueRaspberry. Together, we took on Providence, Rhode Island, at the Red Ink Library. Of course, any place that has a communist library/event space is cool in my book. The secret coffee bar in an off-the-beaten-path vintage bike repair shop was just the icing on the cake. Not to mention the homebrew wrestling scene that thrives in the backyard of the people we stayed with. It’s safe to say that Providence bewitched me, body and soul.

From Providence, we made a mad dash to Portland, Maine, where we killed it at Find clothing store. The owner was kind enough to gift me a vintage dress just for playing, and the space was packed with a capital “P”. With Portland favorites Myles Bullen and The Bumbling Woohas as the local support, I didn’t expect anything less. As a teenager, I had always dreamed of moving to Maine. I had never been to the east coast, and admittedly knew very little about Maine in particular—but it made for the perfect thing to project my domestic fantasies onto. I wrote countless poems about the salty sea air, the weathered fisherman at the docks, the grey mornings spent sipping black coffee on my porch, a knit shawl wrapped loosely around my shoulders. For a kid who knew nothing of the place I longed to reside in, I wasn’t that far off. Portland was just as charming as I had hoped it would be, and I have been itching to go back ever since.

The third day was spent at the Wrong Brain headquarters in Dover, New Hampshire. Atmospheric, vibrant, bursting with color—the place was electric, eclectic, and alive. Though the turn out made for a rather intimate show, I had a blast just inhabiting the space for a few hours. In addition to throwing DIY shows, Wrong Brain hosted resident artists, clothing swaps, and was big into community outreach. It was so inspiring to witness a slice of that radiant human spirit. Unfortunately, the headquarters is closing down until further notice—read about it on their instagram to see how you can support them during the transition.

Finally, we closed the tour in Rockland, Massachusetts at the Chess Company, former home to Justin Arena’s Together Press. Mass powerhouses A Day Without Love and Chris OG and the Dopameanies absolutely knocked our collective socks off. After the show, Justin gave me a tour of their schoolie conversion, which was coming along rather nicely. Together Press is now moving into a new headquarters, expanding into a community arts and education collective. As I stated with Wrong Brain—read about it on the ‘gram to learn more and show your support. 

After the tour, things slowed down for me in some ways and picked up in others. I got hired as a barista and started volunteering more at a local bookstore. Playing local shows here and there, my focus shifted away from music a bit in the name of laying down roots in my new city. I spent much of the spring writing, planning, and taking it day by day.

Summer, however, was a little more happenin’ in the Bones World. I hosted a 27 Club themed show in honor of my 27th birthday, was defeated by the confusing (to me) realm of Amtrak—resulting in tragically missing my dear friend’s birthday fest in Maryland—and drove across the country to play Compost Heap in Denver, Colorado. The season wrapped up with an absolutely killer show at Cafe Nine with the likes of Eevie Echoes and the Locations, Tallbois, and Kmoy. I got to catch up with pals I hadn’t seen since the spring and make some new ones. The highlight of the evening was getting decked in the pit by The Northaven while skanking around with reckless abandon. I also dropped a few secret singles amidst the end of the summer: a demo of “Surely”, a cover of “Shady Lane” by Pavement, and my first new track in a few years, “Clementine”. It’s a wistful song about the daydreams and idyllic future plans that never get realized when you break up with someone. Check it out on spotify or bandcamp!

And that’s all for the recap of my year thus far! To keep it brief, I’m signing off—but keep your eyes peeled for what’s happening this fall. 

Love and anarchy,

—xMJx

stopped playing tf2 for a while and also that's good because now i don't have an itch to just buy crate keys all the time but also i wish i could live out the loadout pyro of my dreams. insano diypunk pyro of my dreams

#i love thinking about pyro i like to think they're well aware of how some people treat them for 'childish interests' and actually use that #to their advantage to be more deviously mean #though that partially dips into an oc's territory #🚐 talk
