So... I got some really unsettling news yesterday - bout my Da...As he is want to do - he tried to protect my Mum & I, saying that his cancer was caught in the very early stages - that his treatment would be minimal - we're now finding out that it was middle stages & treatment is going to be far more long term. I'm putting on the brave face for him - and of course for Mum - she's got enough wo...

This weekend I head to NYC to see 4 shows: Songbird (Jeff Daniels - yum), Radio Golf (August Wilson's final installment in is 10 plays, 1 for each decade - I miss him), Journey's End (one of the most talented stage actors I was fortunate to witness in "I am my Own Wife" off-broadway - Jefferson Mays) & Spring Awakening (DUNCAN SHEIK & SEX - perfect together). It's four days in one of my favori...

Peeping Tom is a Mike Patton project by mail (well, more likely email or some sort of FTP/file swap set up). Think the Faith No More era Patton meets Ben Gibbard/Jenny Lewis Postal Service side project. This is probably the most accessible Mike Patton project since his days with Faith No More. Patton swapped files with such artists as Kool Keith, Rahzel, Nora Jones, Dan "The Automater", and ...

It's official, kids; I now worship at the altar of Mike Patton.About a year ago my sisterfriend VJ became obsessed with Tomahawk, and it was then that I began to hear Patton's praises sung. I sampled one of the band's tunes and, though I found the song listenable, I steered clear; I like hard stuff, but there was just not enough melody in it for me.Last winter, said friend and I were in a CD st...

Been a fan since Faith No More's The Real Thing came out, and I haven't felt the need to feel otherwise. Whether it's FNM, Bungle, Tomahawk, Fantomas, whatever. The man's incredible.Peeping Tom- MojoTomahawk- God Hates a Coward

Norah Jones swearing on this track was so unexpected that it nearly made me shoot Coke out my nose. ??Coca Cola??, that is. I almost strangled to death, really. Good times. Mentos and Coke anyone?

Here's a review I wrote for StayThirstyMedia.com . " The unfair truth is that Mike Patton has done whatever he wants, whenever he wants for so long that it can be easy to take his fearless approach to music for granted. There’s never been a sell-out point, or a phone in performance, so it’s not shocking anymore to hear that he contributed to a Bjork a capella album and a Dillinger Escape Pl

Danny Devito likes cool music. The man is a fan. And when fans have tv shows of their own, they can decide who they want to play at their wrap parties. Sunday night I was at the wrap party for a show with a really long name. An old friend of mine was in town, who did A&R on the first Handsome Boy Modeling School record and has since become close with Dan, who told us to come through. The A...

On sunday i saw peeping tom at koko and it was great. Mike Patton was joined by (among others) Rahzel, who was amazing. After working through most of the album, the encore consisted of 'Remember (Walking In The Sand)' and Bobby Womack's '110th Street'. The support band were the fantastic Dub Trio, who i'm new to. They played this kind of dub-meets-sludgy-metal. Very cool. They also moonlighted ...

Well, I've known this for some time, but Vegoose is this weekend (Oct 28-29), but alas, I will not be going this year. I went to the first one last year, which was GREAT, with Arcade Fire, Beck, Spoon, Ween, Devandra Banhart, The Decemberists and so many other great bands giving terrific performances. Though the festival seems a bit more geared for jam bands, there are also great alternative ...
