- Been a bit busy getting married and stuff (: so here’s a few belated updates. Thanks to everyone for keeping the news and discussion ticking over below the line.
Mike Patton interview with Alarm about Mondo Cane but also some details on future plans: “Between the second Mondo Cane installment and another tour, Patton isn’t done exploring. His restless nature won’t allow for that. And like usual, he and Ipecac partner Greg Werckman have a full schedule of upcoming releases, including a soundtrack by Daniele Luppi and a new album by experimental-rock studio project The Books of Knots. And after the possibility of even more tour dates from the reunited Faith No More, Patton’s commitments, to be finished in no particular order, include a film score for the adaptation of The Solitude of Prime Numbers, an electronic Fantômas album, another Tomahawk release, the Crudo collaboration with Dan the Automator, and another Moonchild disc with the Zorn crew.”
(via Firsa) - Brilliantly manic video – which just surfaced recently – of Faith No More doing Jizzlobber in Columbus 18 years ago this week. One of the best live videos I’ve seen of the band in action:
(Via Integra) - Epic (with some En Vogue Free your Mind from the same show)
- And don’t forget tickets to FNM’s Hollywood Palladium show are still available.
Right, I’m off on honeymoon, see you soon!
Rumor has it that Mondo Cane has now been released as vinyl in all of its triple-gatefold diecut splendor, and can be pre-ordered here on Amazon:

It’s a limited edition of 5000 copies…
Formica! Shhhhhhhh! Just kidding, yeah Crack Hitler… maybe, perhaps 😛 (one of my favs, god knows I’ve been yelling it enough at the shows haha). You totally should have said hi… at least to me, lol! And Bill would have been pleased to see a fan. Actually I was surprised at how many people weren’t bugging him.. I don’t think a lot of people noticed he was there (watching Patton, naturally). Great show though 🙂
LA twice!! Yes yes yes!! I can finally book my flights from London now. Crack Hitler would be a real treat. Let’s hope for more rare gems. 😉
@Nina – Right you are, can’t wait for any interview with the cuddly Mr. Gould (and he is like a cuddly teddy bear in real life!). I am more excited than ever now.
Ti Mort – Lusty tweeted about it earlier this week after she interviewed BG. To quote Ms. Halle: “@reverendalexg Crack Hitler is up for contention.” There was another tweet in there about the setlist too but I think she deleted it 😛
Formica…..has new info been released about a new setlist…or are you just being hopeful?
kind of off topic – just found some new (to me) Dour fest footage… pro shot (ish) – apologies if this has been posted before

I was too awestruck to say hi to Bill and Lusty at Mondo Cane… I was so nervous I convinced myself it wasn’t really them! 😛 After the weekend I’d had the universe was clearly trying to make it more epic. Oh well 😛
Mondo Cane was off the frakkin’ chain, it sounded so good, I never thought I’d get to hear those songs performed live. Magic Magic Orchestra was fantastic. I swear half those strings were being played by high school kids, and they sounded wonderful. Patton was awesome as always, it’s silly how spoiled we are by his performances. Everyone on stage was having so much fun, so many smiles and laughs, it was an incredibly positive performance. The wife even made fun of me, as she loves to do, for singing along to Il Cielo in a language I don’t speak 🙂
To my surprise much of the crowd left after Elvis Costello and we were able to get right up in front. I got a couple of good pics; you can see BG in the lower left in one of them 😛

And then I get home to find out the second LA show has finally been announced, with this prophecized new setlist…! Now I can finally book plane tickets for the wife and I 😛
@Soph.. hahah of course I was.. just my usual sarcasm. I wrote a reply but I said a naughty word in it so not sure if it got posted.
Hahah.. there was an underlining sarcastic f&*k in my statement.. Wanderlusting was bang on!
I heart Mikey.. I do but Bill was sooooo good to me in Europe back in July this year. He organised VIP tickets at Sonisphere in Madrid, we meet all the boys ( all sweethearts) after I travelled there from Australia with my bestie to see them at 7 festivals. I just hope LA/Chile works out too! Bill is just so genuine and down to earth Totally with Sophie on that!
If it was the Nina I know, she was joking! I knew there would be a second show in LA. I still can’t go, not even bothered for some reason (well, I lived in LA for long enough), I would rather splurge on going somewhere I’ve never been before, so I’m going to Santiago instead.
Pretty sure Nina was just joking. Patton is magnetic, Bill is just a really cool person. Now let’s all talk about that second show…
Best. SF. Mondo Cane video ever.

some might or might not know that Billy has a younger brother called Greg who posted that clip on youtube and thats him in the studio with Bill and Matt.
@lasttoknow You killed me 😉 And yeah anyone can dream.
@lasttoknow – yeah, anyone can dream!
but I am also a Billy admirer and for a change, there will be detailed interview with Mr. Gould – about fucking time too! Mike’s more recent interviews have been a lot more sensible to what he use to be like, but he’s still blunt and sarcastic and you never know quite what to believe. At least with Bill it will be straight to the point and more down-to-earth.
Wow Nina, harsh indeed. Bill is that ‘ole beating heart of the band I agree, but ‘fuck the Patton’?…mmm, a girl can dream:)
WOAH WOAH…NINA…HARSH STATEMENT…..
Bill is the man! Bill is the one that makes things happen for the fans 🙂 For that we love u Bill.. Fuck the Patton!
somehow, we really dont know enough about Bill Gould…

I can imagine anyone interviewing Bill Gould would feel a lot more at ease and very comfortable than trying to get anything out of Mike Patton. Especially if you’re a chick, Patton would be a challenge and he’d love every moment of it. Bill is incredibly genuine, very smart and really good at helping his fans. He’s amazing.
It’s good to look forward to a detailed interview with Billy for a change. Haven’t seen many at all during this reunion, nothing major anyway.
Reading 1993 FNM quotes via Formica’s link (comment #47) :
# “Nothin’ much is happenin’; I’m just sittin’ around drinkin’ beers. I have my scrambler, so I can listen in on private conversations – mostly these old bastards calling young girls. And I have my binoculars. I was watching hookers in Portugal with them right ouside my window.!” — Jim Martin
# “But in my opinion it’s definitely time to do something new, because this last record didn’t work out all that great and didn’t measure up to what it could have.” — Jim Martin
Doesn’t this guy sound like a douchebag ?
F.N.M. playing at the A.F.L grand final! haha! what song would they play? I remember seeing a segment on a kids A.F.L. football show that featured “Falling To Pieces” being played with player interviews.
Lionel Richie playing easy at the Australian Rules Grand Final (biggest sporting event in Australia – had to replayed after a draw last week – only 3rd time ever…)…wish it was FNM!! Go Saints!!
OOps….spelling….Lusty
Lust…Sweet…I thought the comment about “Absolute Zero” was hilarious……can’t wait to read it. I kinda feel dumb now that I didn’t introduce myself to you in line at the Warfield….oh well…..if there is a next time….I will surely say hello!!!!!
