- Put this in the unlikely fans corner. Rachel Unthank from English folk act The Unthanks reveals her love for The Real Thing in The Observer: “Faith No More in particular were really alive and vital; there was almost a violence to their music. It was exciting listening to them as it was so different to the music I grew up with.”
- Faith No More live at the 1995 Monster of Rock in Brazil – full concert:

This was for a long time believed to be Patton’s first gig but it seems that is not the case but it is certainly one of the first. - Kid Koala speaks to mxdwn about new Lovage and Slew releases:
“We’ve heard rumors of a new Lovage album in the works. Is there any truth to that?
There is. The beats are done and my turntables are done, but that’s about it at this point. Mike [Patton] is still writing, hasn’t recorded anything yet. I couldn’t put an exact date on it. Sometimes it goes quickly, but if he’s busy sometimes it doesn’t. But soon, hopefully. I always thought it would be cool to drop it on Valentines Day.
Then you better get moving on it!
(Laughs) Yeah, we only have a few months. I should call him now, actually!
What about The Slew? New album in the works?
Yes also, we’re recording it. Mike is recording vocals. Right now we’re setting up the skeletons for the tracks. We’re going through it all and finding bits that we dig and cutting it to vinyl, reassembling so it has turntable flavor but with that heavy rock thing going on as well. It’s slated for next year.”

Ugly in the Morning
My site search terms that is. You naughty people! (well about 0-1% of you in all probability) After a just a few hours of activity this morning, my site stats revealed the following under search engine terms:
Ah, here now:
New Mike Patton interview: “There are no plans. That is all I can say. We have basically talked very little about it.”
Movieweb have just published an extensive and revealing interview with Faith No More singer Mike Pattonas his latest film score The Solitude of Prime Numbers is released. The whole interview is well worth a read, but, as is our wont, we have extracted a few choice cuts of direct Faith No More relevant below:
Now, you guys are in the midst of rehearsing for the upcoming Faith No More shows. Can you hint at any of the surprises that fans are really going to get a kick out of this time around?
Mike Patton: Um…Yeah, there are a couple of new things. But those are all better left as surprises. We are playing some stuff that we haven’t ever played live before. The most unique thing we are doing is a show in Chile. There, we will be playing King for a Day from front to back. We are doing it with the guitarist that played on that record, Trey Spruance. We have never played live with him before. So that will be pretty exciting.
Are you going to play some of those King for a Day B Sides during this show? Or is it going to be straight through track one to I’m Just a Man?
Mike Patton:I think we are just going to do front to back. I think there maybe…We are doing a tune we’ve never done from that era. I guess that would be a B Side. I don’t know if we released that at all…I don’t know (laughs)!
Last question, which I know people keep asking, and we get the back and forth from Roddy and Billy Gould all the time. Do you think there will be new material, a new song, or possibly a new album from Faith No More sometime in the future?
Mike Patton: Well…There are no plans. That is all I can say. We have basically talked very little about it. I think that is because we are really just getting to know each other again. And we are getting to enjoy each other’s company again. We are taking it, and appreciating it for what it is. We are not trying to look too far ahead. That is the honest truth.

- 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.

New Mike Patton interview
Rolling Stone Argentina features an in-depth interview with Faith No More singer Mike Patton.
The interview mainly focuses on Mondo Cane and Mike’s upcoming Mondo Cane shows in Argentina on 17 and 18 September. But Mike also speaks about two impending prjects – preparing a new album with Tomahawk and putting the “finishing touches” to Nevermen with Tunde Adebimpe of TV On The Radio and Adam “Doseone” Drucker. He also speaks about not talking about Faith No More: “We are trying to focus on it and devote ourselves to enjoying the ritual of playing in each other’s company again. Not thinking about new albums and new recordings, simply the pleasure of being back together.”*
