PS. Someone tell that dud Elysian Fields has no “The” in front of it. Completely different band.

Good shit, thanks for the link. I thought the soundtrack was supposed to be “The Solitude of Prime Numbers” or something. Kinda relieved to hear about Lovage, though… the next journalist should ask him about Nevermen, because I said so.

Here’s a new, kind of rambling little Patton interview:

http://io9.com/5823783/faith-no-more-singer-mike-patton-dishes-on-the-darkness-2-and-his-adventure-in-a-haunted-hotel

He talks about the Fantomas compilation and wanting to work on a new Lovage album, but no mention of new FNM work. And I wonder what that upcoming soundtrack is that he’s talking about… did (*gasp*) I miss something?

Well, for those of us who were not there, it appears that all we get is this measly image, because Gamespot has 20 other panel videos, but none from this one (also, people involved with the Comic Con stream liked to mention him every now and again):

I wonder how much involvement he will have, considering it’s a one hour panel and he’s just a VA.
Mike July 21, 2011 at 1:13 am

Wow. Comic Con sold out ages ago.

Anyone here going this week?
Firsa July 20, 2011 at 7:40 pm

Damn – I was just in San Diego last week! Wrong convention 🙁

At least I was able to catch the Melvins with Trevor Dunn at the Casbah. Great show… Dale Crover is amazing (and sweats like a lawn sprinkler).
Jones July 20, 2011 at 2:43 pm

One of the greatest years for Comic Con, but I cannot go… :'( Damn living on the opposite end of the country.

It is insane that this band has only 1 half-assed live release. If anything they should at least correct that...release the actual whole Brixton 90 show.

- Benrun { Good question. You can hear the Patton background vocals on it, but I think that's probably just an effect that either Patton or Roddy plays live. I always figured that Patton must have made some kind of bad face or something when he hits that sour note to open the song and that they didn't want to show it! FNM are pretty particular about their live recordings, they seem reluctant to put anything out there...it took 30 years to put up a live video from the WCAL era! J/K I think they had to acquire that.

If you close your eyes and listen, it's a pretty well played version, I'm not sure if it comes off as the most aggressive. But then if you watch it as well...pretty aggressive. } – Mar 17, 2:56 AM

- KingCol { This is almost impossible to find and could be due to the possibility of it being an unofficial white label remix or something but it's a particular remix of "a small victory" that sounds more or identical to the "youth" remixes only this version has samples of explosions and guns and people screaming as if in a war conflict.. heard it and have part recorded it off a pirate radio station years ago but could never get the full original mix nor find out any info on it . } – Mar 13, 8:46 PM
