Lol Nonsuch Ned will share with my kids. I saw a commercial which had this song as soundtrack music this morning on TV...I thought, those are 80s clothes on the actors...watched it through and saw the actors aging, the kids growing up...turned out to be an ad for Walgreens and Medicare Insurance. Then, I find this video and really listen to the lyrics as a whole. "Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies "Be-Bop-A-Lula", "Baby What I Say" Here comes Johnny singing "I Gotta Woman" Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay He got the action, he got the motion Yeah, the boy can play Dedication, devotion Turning all the night time into the day And after all the violence and double talk There's just a song in all the trouble and the strife You do the walk, yeah, you do the walk of life Hmm, you do the walk of life" A catchy phrase may help people remember the point of a commercial but I think lyricists should be shown more respect than that. Residuals hopefully help with the bills but commerciality sucks. I'm sure I've shared this before, but it's brilliant. www.wolproject.com/

Whoa, trip out, Nonsuch Ned ! I guess anything you're zooming in or out on will pretty much work. End of Blazing Saddles will probably work as they go riding off, get into their limo and drive off in a dust cloud and the camera zooms out. Thanks, Ned! I shared your Mike Patton reference with my son, he said he has Mike Patton in his library. He laughed a few times at the bass player wanted ad as he read through it. So double laughter on that shared item. Thanks!

A couple days after watching a bunch of these I watched Akira Kurosawa's best movie not about Samurai, Ikuru, and as the movie poetically draws away from the old man sitting on the swing, sure enough, popped right in my head.

I think Mike Patton's most accessible work outside Faith No More, was the Tomahawk band, I know there were at least 2 cds.

I think Mike Patton's most accessible work outside Faith No More, was the Tomahawk band, I know there were at least 2 cds. Ever listen to Peeping Tom? That was basically his Duets album and what he felt pop music should be. I like "5 seconds" best from the album, but this was the single with the great video. Tomahawk also had a great concept album. When Duane Denison (Jesus Lizard) was introduced to "Native American Rock" while touring with Hank Williams III, he was really disappointed, because it was just Native Americans who played rock. It could be anything, but mostly sounded like normal Southern Rock. So he spearheaded an album in which the band played hard rock versions of traditional Native American chants and songs. Patton on vocals and samples. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_(Tomahawk_album)

That was cool. Thanks for the backstory on Tomahawk. Patton was/is so prolific it's hard to keep up.

A new recording of Mr. Bungle's first indie release, which is actually a thrash album, with Scott Ian from Anthrax on bass. Peeping Tom also could be said to have begat the Nevermen album with Tunde Adebimpe (TV on the Radio) and a rapper friend called Doseone (who I don't really see the appeal of)

I will share Mike Patton info with my son. I KNOW he likes Mr. Bungle. About twenty or so years ago, he was playing music on the home sound system and I asked him who it was and what the song was called..."Air Conditioned Nightmare" and I was surprised. That is the name of a Steve Hackett piece from his solo career that I used to play. Turns out very different songs. Room for both in the world.

Unfortunately, this is the new Mr. Bungle (looks like the album is out next week), based off the old thrash album. Good if you like that, but was never my thing. I prefer the avant garde weirdness.
this Quarantine session is similar, but I like it a bit more. For the parody aspect
