fantomas

[kezz]

im seeing fantomas on sunday. i must say, it should be an interesting experience, going by the las time i saw them...

i haven't seen them before, nor am i familiar with their music, but i like mike pattons work and they are going to be here in 2 weeks so i'm thinking of going.

got any recommendations of songs to check out before i go?

well, you couldnt really call any of the tracks on the latest album [suspended animation] as being "songs" as such. the only way i can describe them is mike patton indulging himself. its strange. "Delìrium Còrdia" is just 1 track thats over an hour long. kinda screws up your itunes. he he. i suppose try "Directors Cut". its his screwed-up versions of movie themes. the godfather theme rocks

Mike Patton is a proper genius.

Fantomas is an acquired taste. Their new album is strange.

its not like im going to be able to stand up at the front of the crowd and sing along. i feel that to fully appreciate them live it needs to be dark, dingy and one must have a good supply of hard liquor on hand.

fantomas were brilliant! too bad about the suppost act. i cant even remember his name, some experimental dj that my friends think is the guy from 'the movie show'. he had some interesting stuff, but after 2 HOURS, we got really really bored. people were getting angry. im surprised nothing was thrown at him. i suggest you sit down during his act- or stay in the bar area....

anyway, mike patton is a crazy man. how he makes all those noises with his mouth is beyond me. ENJOY!

wicked, i am not sure who is support over here...

[kezz]

well, if you see a guy with turntables calling himself 'jay katz', run away

[hitmonlee]

wah! $60. i can't afford to go :(
