- Apologies for the lack of updates; very busy at the minute but here goes with some overdue news.
Spotted this t-shirt in a bar in Geneva at the weekend. The guy wearing it did not know that these were Faith No More lyrics; he said he had heard them played when he had been watching wrestling on TV.
- Mike P was on the Triple J radio station in Australia this morning. Stubbadub has all the news here. And you can

- Also in Australia, Mike gave a great interview to Vine magazine last week. Also good to see a journo doing his research and that certainly gets the best out of Mike. Sample quote: “[On Mondo Cane's chart success] That was a real surprise, and I’ve had quite the hearty belly laugh over it. I’m proud. It’s funny, it’s a nice achievement but it also just proves that you never know. And the world is an absurd place.”
- Mike and Mondo Cane will be playing in the UK after all with an appearance at the Big Chill festival on 5-8 August in Herefordshire.
- The poster for the Faith No More’s Williamsburg Waterfront show on 2 July – by Tara McPherson – has been revealed:
As usual, the poster will go on sale at Secret Serpents – from 3 July. - The death of the iconic Dennis Hopper reminded me of this: Mike Patton’s acting debut in Firecracker, which was originally slated to feature the Easy Rider star.

YAY! I just became a European citizen today (officially) ! Considering moving to Europe now just because they get better Mike Patton shows
oh and 5 weeks vacation, you lucky bastards!
Missed your posts, can’t wait for the flurry of them around the NY dates… so jealous !
Always enjoy the interviews posted here…The countdown to the East Coast shows is starting since June is here. Looking forward to the July 5th poster and the Philly one.
The “It’s Only Funny until someone gets hurt” line was not created by Faith No More. That saying had been around for years before. Sorry mate.
Missed your posts Admin, That T-Shirts a beuty, sad news about Dennis Hopper RIP.
Looking forward to the July 5th poster!
The lyric “It’s always funny until someone gets hurt. Then it’s just hilarious.” is a quote from the late comedian Bill Hicks.
Mondo Cane in UK will be August 6 according to: http://www.virtualfestivals.com/latest/features/7827/-/Gregory-Isaacs-and-more-for-The-Big-Chill-2010
I read in some comments (facebook, stubbadub) that Ipecec would have deleted the Brussel date..
Tanks for the link to Vine magazine, that was a great interview.
Anything about FNM in Canada?
Love this Williamsburg posters, definitely one of my faves. Shirt is also great.

I’ve heard that FNM might be coming to Halifax, Nova Scotia or Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. Strictly a rumor though. From my sister who heard it from a friend.
I wonder what wrestling that guy was watching? I know PWG has named a handful of shows after FNM songs.
OK, now what is up with this?…. ? (posted at Patton Archivo)

…? The premise doesn’t bother me – in fact I think it’s cute – it’s just rather strange that they used Patton’s picture.
Firecracker was such a wacky movie. Very Lynchesque, I thought. There’s 2 hours of my life I can never get back. Patton w/ blonde hair is such a shock that I didn’t realize it was him for a couple scenes.
I can’t see the damned poster at work and keep forgetting to look it up at home. I heard it’s pretty awesome, though.
Just seeing the outtakes of Firecracker makes me cringe… I don’t plan on ever watching it, though I like my homegirl Karen Black – she’s a very interesting lady.
What a choice for a first foray into acting. Talk about trial by fire!
Hey Firsa…I have a copy of Firecracker…it’s actually not that bad. Patton obviously didn’t win an oscar for his roles…but all in all it wasn’t a bad movie. If you enjoy David Lynch’s work it’s along the same lines. The ending is fucked up!!!!
Hi, I have a ticket for Mondo Cane in Milan, July 25. I live in Spain and might not be able to make it. I flew to SF to watch FNM and am going to see Patton perform Laborintus II in Amsterdam, so my Patton obsession is accruing a lot of mileage! Anyone interested in buying the ticket at cost? Let me know. Cheers.
Yeah, it’s a Bill Hicks quote… too bad they misquoted it on the t-shirt, as it takes away the juxtaposition that’s effectively the core of the joke :’).
Talking about t-shirts there is a great one on the old Ebay, Australian tour shirt 2010:
I bet there are only a couple of thousand of these puppies.
