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.
