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

Faith No More at SWU redux

Posted on November 15, 2011 by admin

Without coming over too much like my compatriots Boner and Bob Geldof, it is good to give soemthingback and one of the greatest things about Faith No More is that they make an effort find out and get to know the places to visit.
Most via Bill on Twitter, here is some info on their SWU Festival experience.
Learn about KCAL [who shared the stage with FNM at the festival], the self-confessed “book trafficker.”

And here is more info on the the Coral da Gente (at the Instituto Baccarelli), who provided vocals on Just a Man.

And not forgetting the SWU itself – which encourages sustainability

And why not watch the whole SWU show back again, courtesy of the inestimable Holy Filament

Links for a day… Extra (vol. 109)

Posted on November 10, 2011 by admin
  • The speculation on the new or mystery song first played in Buenos Aires and again in Montevideo continues apace. Most of the best insight can be found below the line in our post here. But the mainstream-ish music media has also picked up on it with The PRP picking up on a quote we previously posted from Mike Patton from his recent interview with Movieweb to explain the song as an unreleased song from the King for a Day… era – a point which has been brought up in our Comments.
    Also comments attributed to Roddy on the Faith No More Facebook page say: “the mystery song sounded way better in montevideo. sorry, BA, it was pretty much my fault. xo, RB (taking partial credit)”
  • And some more South American news we missed last week – Courtney Love speaking about her time in Faith No More to São Paulo newspaper Folha de S. Paulo. She said: “Roddy is one of my best friends. I was his last girlfriend before he turned gay. He is the godfather of my daughter Frances. He, Michael Stipe [REM] and Bono [U2]. I begged to join the band, like 1983, I would have been 18 years old and it was pretty crazy, put fire in their hair, cut myself on stage. He said he would make them famous. I was only the singer, they woudl not let me play guitar. I was just expelled from the group because they wanted to make Faith No More a male [machos in the original Spanish] band.”

  • The tireless Holy Filament have just posted a clip of a new Mike Patton interview with an Argentinean radio station. Mike’s Mondo Cane play Buenos Aires on 17 and 18 September and 21 September Santiago and 24 September in Rio.
    [youtube id="ily_KHUTdNg"]
  • No video or reviews have surfaced from Bill’s Talking Book concert on Sunday night but here is the latest review of the album from Bearded.
  • As tweeted and mentioned in comments, the announcement of a release date for Mike Patton’s The Solitude of Prime Numbers score has garnered quite a bit of publicity. Here is the SF Examiner’s take: “On Nov. 11, via his imprint Ipecac, he’ll be releasing a tribute of sorts, “Music From The Film And Inspired By The Book The Solitude Of Prime Numbers.”  He calls this cinematic album a real “sonic departure,” and he’s dutifully numbered the 16 tracks in perfect prime fashion — 3, 5, 7, and so on, up to 53.”
  • Noisecreep reveal the track listing:
    2. Twin Primes
    3. Identity Matrix
    5. Method of Infinite Descent
    7. Contrapositive
    11. Cicatrix
    13. Abscissa
    17. Isolated Primes
    19. Radius of Convergence
    23. Separatrix
    29. The Snow Angel
    31. Apnoea
    37. Supersingular Primes
    41. Quadratix
    43. Calculus of Finite Differences
    47. Zeroth
    53. Weight of Consequences
    The album is released through Ipecac on 1 November.
