Links for a day… (vol. 129)

Posted on January 22, 2012 by admin
  • Listen to Roddy’s Imperial Teen‘s fifth album Feel the Sound in its entirety here at Spin. Feel the Sound is out January 31 on Merge – pre-order here.
  • A great interview with Bill Gould from Free Gotham magazine from June 1997 has resurfaced this week. Sample quote: “The way we work musically is a democracy. This process is a little harder because the album needs to be worked out to everyone’s satisfaction. As members of the band, we all realize there is a need to compromise, but at that same time there is also the desire to be able to exercise your own artistic vision.”
  • More on Sonisphere France. Nothing confirmed yet but the Faith No More, Slash and Queen rumour first appeared in December on the Sonisphere forums.
  • Mondo Cane do Yeah at the Sydney Summer Sounds

  • We know he’s a Giants baseball fan but sure about the 49ers in gridiron but that hasn’t stopped the San Francisco Chronicle putting forward Mike Patton to sing the national anthem at the NFC Championship game between the ‘Niners and the New York Giants at Candlestick Park on Sunday.
  • Not sure if we featured this before but the full show of Faith No More at the Exit Festival in Serbia:

  • A little late to the party on this but Ipecac Records yesterday announced that Mike Patton has been selected by writer/director Derek Cianfrance to provide the score for forthcoming film/movie The Place Beyond The Pines.
    The film, which stars sex gods and goddesss Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper and Eva Mendes, is currently in post-production. The news has been widely reported including in the Los Angeles Times and Rock A Rolla.
  • The Ipecac statement also revealed that Mike Patton is working on the new Tomahawk album, with the band’s fourth release now slated for “a projected late summer release date”.
  • It is just about 23 years this week since Faith No More finished recording for their third album so no better time to revisit Metal Hammer‘s seminal “behind-the-music” style feature on the The Real Thing.
    Sample quote:
    “By this time, the band had written all of the music for The Real Thing; they’d even gone so far as to demo at least one track, New Improved Song (which would become The Morning After) with Chuck before firing him. All that was needed were Patton’s lyrics to complete the project.
    Faith No More returned to Studio D in Sausalito, California (where they’d worked on Introduce Yourself) during December 1988 to record the album. There are reports that the music was actually recorded before Patton had even joined the band, and that he went in later to do his vocals. But Bordin insists this isn’t true…”
