Daddy, can we keep it?
Oh yes. This quarantine has gotten many artists' juices flowing. And we've gotten little gems like this one. Man on Man is Roddy Bottum (who used to be in Faith No More and came out in the nineties, when it was NOT fashionable) and his boyfriend Joey Holman. They have paired up to make music (and hopefully much more, hubba, hubba!) and the result is this video. Two big, burly men so close together? Yes, please.
We’ve talked about projects in quarantine, y’all n me. I’m happy to announce that me and Joeys record is finished and we’ll release our first single, Daddy, next week. We’re calling it MAN ON MAN. Love yous. pic.twitter.com/K8f4MwINma— Roddy Bottum (@roddybottum) May 17, 2020
I had no idea they existed as a duo until Rolling Stone told me their video had been removed (and then reinstated on YouTube) so I basically ran to see what the brouhaha was all about. You know how hypocritical Google and YouTube can be when it comes to queer content. They have demonetized and deleted many a queer vlogger's output. In any case, come for the beefcake, stay for the music.
I forgot to say.... after being banned by YouTube, the DADDY video that Joey and I created in quarantine as MAN ON MAN is up on Vimeo. https://t.co/YYlQXCSDcE— Roddy Bottum (@roddybottum) May 28, 2020
Because that's what happened to me. I was curious about the men (I have a thing for big, burly men in tighty whities, duh) but the music is actually quite cool and their story is pretty unusual. And what's more punk rock than fighting the establishment and the rules imposed by the music industry and social media, all while in your underwear? Also, the power play of buzzing a man's hair....
So lay back and enjoy some snarly guitars (I'm looking at you, Dave) and some man-on-man affection. I wish we had more of this... oh, wait.
CRICKETS is JD Samson (Le Tigre, MEN), Michael O'Neill (MEN, Princess) and Roddy Bottum (Faith No More, Imperial Teen/Nastie Band). Video by JD Samson.
Where's the mosh pit?

Wow. I had no idea. A new niche genre? I totally remember Faith No More and how much heat they generated at one point. Thanks for sharing this. I love learning about new stuff. And, yeah... tighty whities are HOT AF. So cool.
ReplyDeleteFaith no More was the bomb. Remember that song in the movie Jawbreaker? And Roddy has kept active. I'm loving the collabs.
DeleteXOXO
So young women galavanting around in next to nothing is ok. But older guys in their tighty whities is a problem? Hypocrisy at its finest. Or is it the haircut thing. But that’s just instructional for the pandemic.
ReplyDeleteIt’s a cool video and pretty good music. Thanks Casey Kasem!
XOXO 👨❤️💋👨
Oh, youtube, instagram, facebook. They are all bullshit. That's why I call them on their hypocrisy every time I can.
DeleteXOXO
love these bear type: they look like dad & son
ReplyDeleteLove me a big, burly man...
DeleteXOXO
That first video is HAWT!!!!!! Daddy, oh Daddy. Six, for me,...you outdid yourself with this post.
ReplyDeleteDaddy knows best, Jimmy!
DeleteXOXO
Okay, the song is decent. Good voice, vocal range. It's got that dance-club beat.
ReplyDeleteAs for the hypocritical social media services - they're as bad as broadcast and non-premium cable channels. My lord! the women prancing around in bras and panties, cameras focused on breasts being pushed up and together and shimmying. Imagine a guy in a pair of pouch briefs doing a comparable commercial. It would never fly. Hell, you don't see many men's underwear ads and certainly no obvious bulges, but the number of ads for women's underwear? Sheesh! xoxo
I love their sound! It's like punk-electronic?
DeleteAnd social media is a cesspool of stupidity. They try to reach as many people as possible but police their freedom of expression when it's not convenient for them.
And now that you mention it, it's true. There's very few men's underwear commercials. And the ones you find, the men are totally... flat? I call malarkey.
XOXO
Flat as a sheet of drywall. Either they're tucking or they're awfully small. I mean, hunky bodies, but they look like Ken dolls below the elastic waistband. xoxo
DeleteYou wanted to run to see what was up....but it wasn't the brouhaha you wanted!!!!! I like Daddies just not into this type. They look like this sweet couple I know, so I don't have any dirty thoughts .
ReplyDeleteFor once. Give me a minute.
Haha
DeleteOh, I like daddies. Roddy is yummy. And you know those sweet couples are absolutely freaky. Still waters run deep...
XOXO
ROCK ON!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha.
DeleteI knew you'd like...
XOXO
Never heard of any of these, literally. 😏
ReplyDeleteAs Phoebe of FRIENDS would say...
"This is a brand new information!" 🤷♂️
