We’re back after our African adventure. Did we miss much?

Free Mondo Cane (or…Kane?) concert coming up in January… only 5,100 miles away from me:

Cheers – keep us posted when you get there. Tanzania (and Zanibar).
It only took a week really – but I know in the US you don’t get as much vacation as we do in Europe. Can be pretty expensive but a once-in-alifetime honeymoon trip made it possible.
Love the Christmas song too.
So jealous about the safari! I can only dream of having the time and money to do something like that…
Anyway, finally got around to listening to the Christmas song cover. Nice and husky 🙂 If anything, the xylaphone solo could be a little… “plinkier”? ~ but other than that it was great. Zorn’s mellow jazz works are wonderful to wind down to.
Cool stuff…and very excited I am off to South America in 2 weeks for the gigs.. but mostly Admin-how was Africa??? where did you go?
“P.S. Love the few clips that are available with Faith No More & Chuck!”
Agreed. Even if the video quality isn’t the best (this was the mid-80’s after all), that is a really entertaining concert. The band just had a lot of energy during that show. Plus, it’s kind of interesting to note that they were playing the Nestles “Sweet Dreams” song before Patton joined the band.
if Mike is still busy with all his other projects maybe the remaining FNM members who want to do a world tour will try this guy 🙂

I love Faith No More.
P.S. Love the few clips that are available with Faith No More & Chuck!
Holy crap, that looks like a lengthy interview with Mike Patton. I’ve been waiting to see something like that.
And good to see Mike is still working with Zorn, even if it isn’t their usual avant-garde, avant-jazz. grindcore, etc, stuff. But that is one amazing song for Christmas. Happy f__kin’ holidays!
Welcome back, and Merry Christmas
