Furry Friday Music Video: DaddyB “I Want A Bear”

As Bear Week is about to get underway in Provincetown, DaddyB drops this timely little ditty about bears and the guys who love them.

Probably NSFW.

From Queerty:

Set to a ‘90s house music-inspired beat, DaddyB vents his frustration about being steered in the wrong direction when it comes to men. “You keep pointing out every tweezed, plucked, shaved, skinny, wannabe muscle boy who walks by, and I’m through,” he states at the beginning of the track. He goes on to proclaim, “You want to know what kind of M-A-N makes me H-O-T? I want a bear.”

Flanked by two dancing cubs in the song’s accompanying video, DaddyB spills the tea about the beefy, stocky type of guy he’s looking for. There’s a plethora of eye candy throughout the clip in the form of lumberjacks, leather men, football jocks, and military studs…and it that’s not enough, there’s even a daddy who rips a Cornish game hen in half with his bare hands. Yum.

You can download the track for free at daddyb.bandcamp.com.

James Corden Goes Bear Hunting At LA Pride

Absolutely hysterical. How far we’ve come 🙂

James Corden of The Late Late Show goes to L.A. Pride and determines he wants to be the Grand Marshall next year. For some reason this leads him on a “bear hunt.”

Ultimately, he finds assembles a “pack” and plays “musical bears.” I know, makes no sense but still it’s fun.

Corden keeps coming up with segments that are fun and pro-everyone. The fact that he does this without coming across the least bit homophobic is great.

Rachel Maddow Profiles Bear Couple Who Own JebBushForPresident.com

Charlie and CJ, two “high-tech bears” in Oregon, decided back in 2008 to buy the internet domain www.JebBushForPresident.com thinking that someday – SOMEDAY – that might be something someone would be interested in.

Flash forward to today, and here is Jeb Bush about to run for president.

But the Oregon bears aren’t looking to sell the domain for a high price profit. They plan to use the space to explain the need for LGBT rights.

And so, that is how they came to be featured on Rachel Maddow’s show last night.

The segment begins at the 11:15 mark below. If the player doesn’t work, click here.

New Music: MRF “Trying”

Smooth Jazz and Billboard radio single “Trying” off of the iTunes chart-topping album Mob Music. MRF features his dreamteam Lisa Bello, Justin Waithe and Yasko Kubota.

Really quite wonderful. Great production all around, and the music is terrific.

Keyboardist Mike “MRF” Flanagan, the title artist, is quoted in the press materials:

“This is the most personal song (and favorite) I’ve ever written, so I wanted the video to be the same.

“It was also really important to me to give visibility to the bear community in a jazz/urban/mainstream song and in a light that captures the love and relationship side as well as the heartbreak/breakup side. I’ve never seen a video that depicts a breakup with bears in the narrative.

“My goal was to embody the beauty of the normal parts of a relationship; intimacy and day-to-day and what “trying” to grieve that feels like visually and musically.

“My mission is for this story to reach as many people as possible and hopefully open the eyes of many who have never seen or thought about this kind of narrative.”

CVS Health features bear couple in new campaign

CVS drugstores have rebranded as CVS Health, and in doing so have launched a new campaign underlining many of the changes they’ve made to position the company as leaders in healthy living.

Some of those changes include not selling cigarettes anymore, designing programs to help folks stop smoking, and expanded “Minute Clinics” for minor illness exams.

Included in the ad, that is clearly meant to demonstrate the diversity of the CVS customer base, is a shot of a handsome bear couple (near the :26 mark).

It’s a quick shot, but inclusion like this is important for those small steps that make it clear the LGBT community is in many ways just like everyone else.

Thanks CVS Health.
