S2. Ep. 8 Let’s Dig Into That a Little Bit ft. Roddy Bottum
You might know our special guest from Imperial Teen or Faith No More and he’s been making music during quarantine! Roddy Bottum joins us to tell us all about the new project called Man on Man with his partner Joey Holman and we find out all about the making of their self titled album available May 12th, 2021. Roddy explains how he and Joey became “icons of body positivity” with the release of the video for their new song Daddy. There are a ton of super gay songs including one about The Vale of Cashmere in Prospect Park. Along with their album they are launching a project called Chosen Family to create a real world connection with friends and fans and family. You can check out their website ManonManMusic.com and check out the album and join the Chosen Family (including the optional pen pal program) to connect with the music and the love. Then we talk about Roddy’s time recording and touring with Faith No More and the pandemic-delayed reunion tour. We try to make a determination about the term “nu” and ask the important questions such as “is Korn is retro now?” Heklina asks him all about opening up for Guns n’ Roses and the debauchery (and mysticism?) on the Use Your Illusions Tour. Marc insists on finding out more about Roddy writing Sasquatch, The Opera and his love for monsters with hearts of gold.
S2. Ep. 2 YESTERBATION ft. CHRISTEENE
CHRISTEENE! tells us all about living in New York, spending time with creative friends, and making some new music with folks like Roddy Bottum, Fever Ray, and John Grant. We hear about going on tour with Peaches (the famous one) and working with audiences in the UK. Then we talk about internet call-outs and getting to the bottom of being a human being. We discuss Heklina’s favorite memory of CHRISTEENE. Here’s a hint: it involves the Queen Mary ship and Murder She Wrote! This episode is straight outta Jessica Fletcher’s a-hole!
