Tomahawk is almost TOO mainstream. I think they draw comparisons to FNM more than Patton's other work. And they are a little toothless so they do not come out well. You NEED to listen to LOVAGE Orph. It straddles the divide between self indulgent cheeze and truly listenable soulFuzzyFun. It's like a brand new puppy, hard not to love.

ya, lovage is great. also a big fan of FNM and peeping tom. i haven't really had a chance to give tomahawk much of a listen though i'll get around to it eventually.

Even Mr. Bungle is better than Tomahawk. I will tell you this, at that 2001 show, G-d, I feel old, they got booed off the stage, lol! I felt bad because I respect mister Patton regardless that he is from Humboldt County.

I think JD hit it on the head. They sound like a bad imitation of FNM's Angel Dust. I would say skip.

But what do I know.

But Angel Dust is one of my favorite albums so I don't blame him for trying to emulate it. Seriously, lol, that album is better than sex, haha. LISTEN to it!!

I thought the last Tomahawk disc did a good job sounding different, but I get that they sound like FNM-lite. Hopefully the new album will change that.

I saw them open for Tool, too, and just like everyone else there I didn't like them at the time. That was before I even knew that was Patton, though.

Courtney Love planning Kurt Cobain musical, says manager | Music | guardian.co.uk

"[We] are currently working on a possible motion picture or Broadway musical based on the Nirvana catalogue, based on [Courtney's] life and Kurt Cobain's," Sam Lufti said. He wasn't talking idly: Lufti made the comments under oath, as part of his lawsuit against ex-client Britney Spears.

Pursued by the New York Daily News, Lufti made it clear that it will be a long time before we see something like Heart-Shaped Box: The Tale of Kurt and Courtney. "It's an idea," he said outside the courtroom. "I'm sorry. I can't say anything more." An unnamed "insider" explained that Love has been "talking about doing a movie or play about her life with Kurt for a long time" and that it's "her dream" to tell "her side of the story".

Listen: Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue Re-Record "Where the Wild Roses Grow" | News | Pitchfork

The odd couple recently re-recorded a sparse rendition of the grisly ballad for Minogue's new LP, The Abbey Road Sessions (released by Parlophone on October 29 in the U.K., and November 6 in the U.S.), on which she revisits a selection of hits from her 25-year career with the help of an orchestra at the iconic London studio.
