Let Peeping Tom Lie
May 2006... a good month for Mike Patton fans.
Patton will be perfoming in Modena Italy on the 8th of May this year. The program for the Concert (Italian web-page, but I don't foresee that as being a problem) is available here.
Lucky Italians...
Then, this just in from Ipecac Recordings: (I say just, I mean just Tuesday...)
First up, Firecracker, Mike Patton's acting debut, is to be released on DVD on May 23, 2006.
Make of it what you will... I've been following this one for a considerable amount of time and personally I can't wait. Catch the trailer here.
Or the typically sketchy youtube vid here:
Then one week later, on May 30, 2006, Ipecac Recordings will release the highly anticipated (and long overdue, IMO, having notoriously taken the man over 6 years to complete) debut album from Peeping Tom. Patton's pop masterpiece is finally almost upon us.
Joined by an impressive lineup of guests, here is what you get for your hard earned moolah (Or NOT, as the case is most likely to be) ;)
1) Five Seconds (featuring Odd Nosdam)
2) Mojo (featuring Rahzel and Dan the Automator)
3) Don't Even Trip (featuring Amon Tobin)
4) Getaway (featuring Kool Keith)
5) Your Neighborhood Spaceman (featuring Jel and Odd Nosdam)
6) Kill The DJ (featuring Massive Attack)
7) Caipirinha (featuring Bebel Gilberto)
8) Celebrity Death Match (featuring Kid Koala)
9) How U Feelin? (featuring Doseone)
10) Sucker (featuring Norah Jones)
11) We're Not Alone (featuring Dub Trio)
So, some recently regular collaborators there then... but wait... Norah Jones? WTF?
Patton in her defence is quoted as saying:
"One of the album’s highlights, is 'Sucker'. It’s a pretty vulgar song,” he said, laughing.
“You don’t recruit someone like that unless you … I mean, I had something real specific in mind for her, and I wanted to take her out of her element and put her in a new environment and make it exciting, and she loved it. She did great. But yeah, you won’t recognize Norah. She’s cussing her ass off. It’s insane. She’s like a cruel vamp, and it’s super sexy, hot and, yeah, cruel.”
The man certainly keeps himself busy. More to follow on his various other side projects.

Hmmm.
Firecracker is worrying.
But in fairness any movie trailer that completely avoids a hint of storyline and offers only sexy images does that to me.
Peeping Tom is MP's "Pop" act? Maybe I haven't been paying enough attention, but I'm feeling that surprise is the correct emotion here?? - with a certain reticence already built in you understand....
Baited breath indeed.
Understandable... Only difference here being I had done my research on Firecracker months ago.
Being that its based on true events occuring in smalltown USA there is a plot involving sex, violence and possibly debauchery of some sort or another.
Patton actually stars in two roles in this film, playing two brothers, one of whom is the central (murdered)character.
So the surviving brother, whilst investigating his siblings untimely death, undercovers the dastardly deeds of the local town folk - a ritualistic bretheren of satan worshippers whose next victim is the love interest? Can Patton save her, venge his brother and destroy the blood thirsty hoard?
Or is it better than that?
Years later when revisting the blog.....
How fucking good is Peeping Tom?
Bloody great album and fabulous in the flesh; arise Sir Patton of MIke.
