It says it’s Tomahawk. Sounds nothing like them.

Do you guys find there are a lot of disturbing parasocial Patton fans?

Patton is one of my favorite musicians. I probably obsessed with him when I was seventeen and only had one other friend who loved his music as I do, so I wasn't really exposed to other fans for years, but I heard other people say they were weirded out. It wasn't until I went to see Dead Cross live that I saw what they were talking about. There were a lot of guys dressed like Mike from different eras it was super uncomfortable. It was so bad that Chuck Mosley was actually there and I thought it was someone dressed like him for a good while. There were even guys arguing in the lobby about where he's lived in the past and stuff about his wife or ex wife. I've also tried to listen to podcasts just to get a glimpse into his personal life because I just want to know where the guy's creative headspace is at. The psycho host talks about yet again dressing like Mike and a story about ripping his chin hair off at a random bar then embroidering them in his gloves. And some of you wonder why the guy's so private about his personal life.

This week marks two years since the release of Dead Cross II. To date it is the longest stretch of time that Mike Patton hasn't put out music in any form.

It's not a dig (if anyone deserves a sabbatical it's Mike) but just something that struck me. I think the only other gap between major albums that comes close would be California (1999) and The Director's Cut (2001) which were one week shy of two years apart, but even then there was an EP's worth of guest appearances and an experimental album (She) in the interim.

Technically there's the Calibro 35 collab although that hasn't had a full/official release.

Knowing only that there's a Tomahawk show lined up for next year, anyone have any hopes for what might be coming next?

What are your picks for Mondo Cane II?

I'm dubious that this'll ever come out, but for fun, what tracks would you like to hear in this fictitious sequel?

My picks are:

Impazzivo Per Te (Adriano Celentano)

Una Sigaretta (Fred Buscaglione)

L'amore Sfiortaro (Madreblu)

So Che Ti Perdero (Chet Baker)

Stivali E Colbacco (Adriano Celentano)

Just realized I’m kinda proud of the weird/great selection I’m currently driving around with.

Had to drop my truck off at the shop and took the cds I had in there back home. Hope this is ok to post here; I think it’s a neat and wacky little handful that represents me pretty well. 🤷

Could this be in the next Mike Patton or am I just an A-hole for even thinking that? Please give your thoughts and opinions on this.

About FNM really

So just really a question from me about FNM, they were booked to tour at least Australia as far as I know a couple of years ago and it got canned. Not much said from FNM camp since but Bungle toured worldwide over at least 18 months after that. It was great to see Mike back out there with Bungle but the FNM thing has just never come back up.

To never see or hear about a band again since, I actually feel like some shit stuff went down in that FNM camp one night.

General Patton albums??

Does anyone know what happened to the General Patton albums? I have a playlist on Amazon Music that has a bunch of stuff from the General Patton albums on it and I noticed a while back that they all disappeared. I can still see them but they are greyed out and apparently not available anymore.

I checked Apple Music and a few other places but they don't seem to exist anywhere now. I'm totally open to paying for them or whatever but I miss those albums and would really like to be able to listen to them again.

Does anyone have any idea what's up with that? I haven't been able to find any discussions of it online anywhere.

The albums in question are:

Hard on the Outside
We're All the Same
Remember Me
Garbage

Patton/Zorn Moonchild

I don't understand why the majority of Patton fans have not even heard of this band. He is amazing on all 7 records. Highly recommend if you enjoyed Fantomas.

Setlist help

This was 99.99% from a bungle/faith show. Potentially the “let them pay” but I’m old now and have no clue and none of these songs add up.

Thoughts?
