Just a few last items for your weekend. Go on, grasshopper, discover.
First up, the mighty Rahzel w/ Peeping Tom. Hails from the Legendary Roots Crew. He’ll reiterate this. Thats enough to make you watch. Enjoy!

Next up, a little more Peeping Tom. If you didn’t already catch the theme, we’re checking things to do with Mike Patton!

And of course, you most likely know of Mike Patton from his work with Faith No More. You know, Epic, Midlife Crisis, Last Cup of Sorrow…and their cover of Easy.

Some of you met Mr Patton earlier on, with his band Mr Bungle. If you’re curious, California is a killer album.

That Peeping Tom album came out the week before Sofia was born, so anytime I listen to that album or think about it, I always associate being in the hospital and driving back home to change and shower while listening to Patton croon and pretend like it’s hip hop. I love it!
I’ve only seen him live two times, both with supergroup Tomahawk. I saw them in Chicago the week their first album was released in early November 2001 at the Metro. The next time I saw them was in 2003 at the Quest Club with the Melvins on the Geek Tour after Mit Gas was released. Phenomenal show. I was front row center right in front of Patton’s deck, and the one thing that I recall loving is that he comes out and does his own soundcheck. Of course he probably has to with all the gadgets and noise samples he pumps through there.
I have nearly every album that Patton has released or been a part of, including his really obtuse and rare stuff – like Malador.
Here’s some clips of his more diverse stuff -
MONDO CANE
MOONCHILD- (Zorn project with Dunn and Patton from bungle)
Here’s an encore after that show – he has an album that’s akin to this stuff from ’96 that I have called “Adult Themes for Voice”. It’s very odd, and very excellent.

And of course, my all time favorite Patton project (because of the players involved LOMBARDO, KING BUZZO, and TREVOR DUNN). Fantômas.

My embeds didn’t work, so I’m going to be an idiot and just post the links here.
