- Faith No More’s Hollywood tee is available in the US store and there are some holiday specials.
- And here’s the rest of the world store. Deadline for Christmas orders has now passed except in the UK (19 December).
- As many of you may know, We Care a Lot is used as the theme tune of the Discovery Channel show Dirty Jobs. In an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, presenter Mike Rowe speaks about the choice of theme tune:
“Have you ever run into a member of Faith No More? - You know, I know they’re from here. It’s so funny you say that. I heard “We Care a Lot,” which randomly came on in the gym the other day. I said “I’m going to send them an e-mail just to say thanks, because I picked that song.”
The network didn’t want to do it because nobody in Silver Springs had ever heard of it. And I said “This is the right tune for the show.” They had three other songs in front of it, but (the rights weren’t secured) and this one came through. I’d love to meet them. Give them my regards.”

- Been a bit busy getting married and stuff (: so here’s a few belated updates. Thanks to everyone for keeping the news and discussion ticking over below the line.
Mike Patton interview with Alarm about Mondo Cane but also some details on future plans: “Between the second Mondo Cane installment and another tour, Patton isn’t done exploring. His restless nature won’t allow for that. And like usual, he and Ipecac partner Greg Werckman have a full schedule of upcoming releases, including a soundtrack by Daniele Luppi and a new album by experimental-rock studio project The Books of Knots. And after the possibility of even more tour dates from the reunited Faith No More, Patton’s commitments, to be finished in no particular order, include a film score for the adaptation of The Solitude of Prime Numbers, an electronic Fantômas album, another Tomahawk release, the Crudo collaboration with Dan the Automator, and another Moonchild disc with the Zorn crew.”

Right, I’m off on honeymoon, see you soon!

[youtube id="foRGr-jLFQI"] - More on Mike Patton being a fan of the San Jose Sharks [that's hockey - hockey on ice even - apparently] from a Sharks site. Seemingly, he was once slated to sing the national anthem before a game. That’s something I’d like to see and hear. Sharks defenseman [that's defender to those of us who speak non-American sports English] Dan Boyle is a big FNM fan. Boyle told the official Sharks site: “They’re basically my favorite band. They’ve been broken up for 14 years and just got back together for a summer tour and were playing a gig in San Francisco a couple days before the Colorado series. To make a long story short, Tom Holy (Sharks media relations manager) got a hold of their manager and they pretty much set me up backstage. I met everybody and since have become good friends with a couple of guys. I got them down to a couple (play-off) games. They came and saw one Colorado game and I think they saw one Chicago game. The lead singer was supposed to sing the national anthem at one of the Chicago games, but something came up at the last minute with him. But he told me he’s gonna do one next year.”

Mondo Cane in England and Portugal
Mike Patton wound up his Mondo Cane tour at the weekend with two festival dates, the Big Chill in England and
Sudoeste in Portugal. No reports or video from the Big Chill has surfaced yet but here’s some pro-shot video from SIC Radical from the Portugal date. (thanks to Firsa)
Mondo Cane in the US
Mike Patton’s Mondo Cane will play at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in his native San Francisco on the weekend of 1, 2 and 3 October. More details.

Mike Patton’s Mondo Cane in Israel
The latest date of the Mondo Cane tour took Mike Patton back to Israel for his sixth performance in various guises in the country. And the gig at the Ra’anana Park Ampithreatre once more garnered rave reviews.
The NRG (Maariv) website reported that: “It seems that no matter what language he uses, what size location he chooses to appear in or what musical genre he chooses to abuse and stretch the limits of, his message comes through loud and clear – the man is a musical phenomenon.” NRG also featured a video of Patton speaking days before the concert but I get a Hebrew error message when I try to play it.
Meanwhile, the Mouse music site reports: “Mondo Cane is another reincarnation of Patton. Maybe not the most popular. Maybe not the most valued. But this reincarnation proves his love for music and the genius of his entrance into new areas.” Mouse also have a slideshow from the concert in that article.

Mike’s Mondo Cane in Moscow
No appearance by the unfortunately ill Eduard Khil but Mike’s Mondo Cane went down very well in Moscow according to reports.
Reviews in Russian (Google Translate is your slightly off the mark friend) here from Kommersant and Gazaeta.

Mike Patton’s Mondo Cane at the Blue Balls festival in Lucerne, Switzerland
Mike Patton played the fourth of his Mondo Cane shows at the Blue Balls festival in picturesque Lucerne last night. Torrential rain and incessant roadworks turned a two-and-a-half-hour car journey to Lucerne into a three-and-half-hour trip so I missed the first few songs. So when I walked in mid-song to my well-appointed seats, I was blown away by the sheer bigness of the sound and the loudness and clarity of Patton’s voice. The decor, size and acoustics of the very modern concert hall were perfect and Patton’s band, led by Daniele Luppi, backing singers Slash Singers and the 21st Century Orchestra were in top form.
My videos below:

After seeing Patton with Faith No More so many times over the past year, it was slightly surreal to see the devilish dervish somewhat contained in this setting – which did not stop one metalhead headbanging throughout – but his articulate, powerful crooning was also accompanied by trademark screams and some equally typical vocal noises.
He was also in very good form, at one stage thanking the audience for “coming out on a horrible night when you should be at home. I would have stayed at home.” He also poked fun at the name of the festival, at one stage declaring: “This song is dedicated to al the guys out there who have Blue Balls, like me. Don’t blame me? I didn’t name the festival, you did.”
Unfortunately, I was unable to obtain a setlist and my knowledge of the full Mondo Cane repertoire is such that I couldn’t guess at one either, suffice to say that it seemed the same as the one posted for Wroclaw.
Thanks to Mike and Elvira for sorting out tickets.
