Male bonding can be a weird performance*. It often includes ruff jokes, beer, back-slapping and bellowing laughter. Yet under that ruff exterior lies, in the ideal case, a kind core, a hidden melodious fragment of unifying emotion.
And that’s what Male Bonding’s “Year’s Not Long” sounds like. Go get the song atPretty Much Amazing.
*At least in case of the kind of masculinity I prefer to perform. I’m currently working on a longer piece on this non-macho yet not entirely un-dudely kind of masculinity, for now German-speaking people interested can have a look at thismanifesto by the German Green Party, with which I mostly agree.
Thoughts?
