To be honest I would not know whose side to take on that without more inside knowledge - they both say more or less the same thing about the other in different ways (Trey somewhat more magnaminously, granted).

it's definitely one of those "i wasn't there, i don't know" things for me, and they've worked together since then anyway.

Thanks for sharing that Kurt. Secret Chiefs rule hard live...it's a shame the only time I've seen Patton was Peeping Tom which was like the diluted version of everything that makes Patton good.

Only time I've seen Patton was in 96 with FNM, should probably keep it that way.
― chap, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 22:54 (seven years ago) link
Fantomas videos rule hard live though, especially with Terry Bozzio

Ha, it's like their first criteria was a bigger kit than Lombardo's.

It's been over a decade since I've followed Mike Patton religiously, but didn't he do a song with Secret Chiefs at some point in the last few years? That seemed to bode wel for a possible Bungle reunion, but of course it didn't happen.

I liked the Fantomas lineup with Crover a lot.

Pretty awesome, though hard not to hear Walker's version in the back of my head

holy crap i didn't know about that track. it's great!!!
― kurt schwitterz, Thursday, 9 March 2017 10:45 (seven years ago) link
Seemed to put to rest any hard feelings between the two at the time.
I don't think Mike's been too prolific lately anyway. I heard one track from the album with the guy from TV on the Radio. It was really, really, really bad. That came out in the last year or two, right?
― afriendlypioneer, Thursday, 9 March 2017 16:37 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, doesn't seem like he's been up to much. Nevermen album was bad, but the Boards of Canada remix of Mr Mistake is great.

Was going to make a smartass comment about wasn't there talk about a FNM reunion album at some point OH WAIT but then I just realized that that was two years ago and now I feel old and sad, wondering where it is that time goes when it slips through my fingers unnoticed.

I just checked out the Ipecac site for the first time in years and it's just a huge list of Omar Rodriguez-Lopez releases. Damn.
― afriendlypioneer, Thursday, 9 March 2017 19:28 (seven years ago) link
The only album I've listened to on Ipecac recently is A Raw Youth by Le Butcherettes.
Which was produced by Omar Rodriguez-Lopez.

Angel Dust makes me feel like I'm in high school (in a good way)

My personal accounting of albums to listen to on a Walkman while mowing the lawn: Physical Graffiti, Superunknown, The Real Thing
― The twin snake of violence and sex is more like a sick wolf. (Old Lunch), Thursday, 9 March 2017 20:15 (seven years ago) link
(Oh, and I listened to the first Comus album when I mowed my mom's yard a few years ago, that was pretty ace but it was not on a Walkman.)

FTR I was like thirteen when I was screaming "SURPRISE! YOU'RE DEAD!" and making kids run home crying.

My very obnoxious friend put "The Bends" from Disco Volante on full blast on his car and we drove around suburban Dallas with his windows rolled all the way down. So many nasty looks. I think that's the one with all the horrible noise. It's been a while.

I love it how the vocal approach that Patton utilised on The Real Thing only lasted for that album!

Looks like Kaada and Patton did another album in 2016 in re: to what Patton's been up to

I owned the real thing on cassette was I was 10 years old and bought angel dust when I was 13. I wasnt able to appreciate most of it at the time but I'd like to think I got some good musical education in my yoof.

i spent hours with the real thing cassette. it had a massive fold-out lyric card, i can still remember the smell, vaguely tortilla-like, strangely

I remember first hearing it on a Boy Scout campout and some kids in another tent were listening to Surprise, You're Dead and we all thought it was the funniest thing we'd ever heard in music. Then at the end of the side, the guy goes to flip the tape over and it's blue, which is also what happened to our minds at that moment.

I also want to brag about owning 'Easy' on cassingle. and I still have it in my car.

The Real Thing also contains some songs I don't dig on; Falling to Pieces is way up on that list.
I used to think this song was so trite, but these days it really captures my middle-aged anxiety.

The only song I wish wasn't there is 'Edge of the World' which isn't good enough to overcome its unnecessary creepiness.

Yeah, obviously a character study, but I've never found it entertaining either. Fortunately, it's not on the vinyl version of the album.

I mowed the lawn so many times in eighth grade while listening to The Real Thing that it's now pretty much inextricable from that activity in my mind. You might say it made lawn care seem...epic.

― chap, Tuesday, 19 November 2019 15:19 (four years ago) link
I used to listen to the blue cassette of The Real Thing on my yellow sports walkman while mowing the lawn when I was 15/16, along with Ride the Lightning and the Doors greatest hits.
That album was a huge deal to me, but in retrospect it might have been bad for prompting a strong desire to find bands that combined funk/rap/metal which in fact were all pretty terrible.

This is a fine sentence. Anyway I wish that two of my favorite songs weren't called Cuckoo For Caca and Jizzlobber but what can I do, they shred.
