Links for a day… Extra (vol. 109)
- 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.”

Mike Patton at Serge Gainsbourg tribute
Mike Patton performed seven songs at the Serge Gainsbourg tribute at the Hollywood Bowl last night.
Not much has yet surfaced in video and even most of the photos that have seem to have been taken from space.
Here is a distant snippet of Ford Mustang from royalghost on YouTube
[youtube id="lEH7P6Nz1Ng"]
And mxdwn have an extensive review. Sample quote: “ One of the strongest moments of the whole night not counting the evening’s epic finale (which we’ll get to in just a moment), found Mike Patton returning, taking Sean Lennon’s place and singing “Ford Mustang” with Muhl. That was stunning low and high octave interplay if there ever was such a thing. Hardcore Patton fans might remember that he covered this by himself on Great Jewish Music: Serge Gainsbourg way back in 1997. ”
Nice Patton pic from the LA Weekly
Stereogum also have some pics
And here is a Twitter pic that was posted by @spinnerpr
While Roddy was also there – and is pictured here with Zola Jesus – via his Twitter
More vids as we get them.
