- 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.

Bill shoots down Real Thing rumours
I knew I should have added a ? to that last post. Bill Gould has shot down the rumours emanating from Chile that Faith No More would play the Real Thing album at their Maquinaria festival date in Santiago in November.
Bill tweeted: “News Flash: Contrary to popular belief we will not be playing “The Real Thing” in it’s entirety in Chile.”
Faith No More add Argentina date to South American tour
Roddy and Bill have both announced on Twitter that Faith No More will play in Buenos Aires, Argentina on 8 November. From what I can gather this seems to be a stadium gig – at the Estadio Malvinas.
Here is a summary of the dates so far:
8 November, Buenos Aires ARGENTINA
9 November, Teatro de Verano, Montevideo, URUGUAY
12 November, Maquinaria festival, Santiago, CHILE
14 November, SWU Festival, São Paulo, BRAZIL

Faith No More 2010 tour rider revealed
A seemingly authentic Faith No More tour rider from their 2010 US tour briefly surfaced online.
Among the highlights are:
Under Cane:
We require 1 (one) Cane for Stage use by Mr. Patton. Find us something interesting.
Most likely it will not come back so make sure it is expendable…. meaning no rentals.
Under Band Dressing Room Rider:
1 X Monkey – preferably a lively one. Poo throwing is unacceptable, though poo eating is fine.
A selection of the crudest Adult Magazines you can lay your hands on, indulge your fantasies, the more perverted the better > this band only require the most depraved and perverted you can serve them. Please make half the selection “Gay” and go to Town.
A sampling of any local delicacies (alligator, crawfish, sliders, BBQ, promoter, etc…)
12 X Local Australian Meat Pies – Variety of meat, please have some Kangaroo meat included
Under Towels:
(along with the already revealed photo of a fluffy bunny)
The band & crew will require 3 dozen (36) pre-washed, large bath towels.
> These towels are to be delivered to Artist’s Production Office at load-in < NO BAR TOWELS ON ORDER OF DEATH
Faith No More will require 2 dozen (24) pre-washed, medium sized black stage towels. These towels are to be delivered to Artist’s production office no later than 2:00 PM.
Please have all towels pre washed, dry and fluffy*, just for us.

New Bill Gould interview on Tangra Mega Rock
The website of Bulgarian radio station Radio Tangra features a great interview with Faith No More bassist Bill Gould on the release of his Talking Book album.
Read the extensive interview in full here.
Bill also talks about the Faith No More reunion:
“I was just hoping that we could focus and actually do a good job and I think the way it worked out it was much much better than I would have expected. I would say it kind of….hmm, let me think. I would say it was just a really positive thing. As far as doing it again, I would love to. I think that if we’re gonna keep playing though, there’s a certain point where you have to bring something alive, bring something new. And it has to be a creative experience.
“It was great playing the old songs and getting back together as people, but I think we have to take it somewhere forward if we were gonna do it again.”
Thanks to caralho.voador in Comments for bringing this to my attention.
