Probably my favourite album from 2024, even though it was released Dec 2023 we actually didnโ€™t get to hear it until mid-Jan '24.

Mike Patton is legend

Mike Patton with his band Peeping Tom form 2006.

Iโ€™ve always been a big fan, the manโ€™s got range

Recently re-discovered the EP he did with The Dillinger Escape Plan when they were between full-time vocalists, including an Aphex Twin cover I love

& actually this as well:

Kev Russellโ€™s Junker, Buttermilk & Rifles (2002), โ€œ(Somebody Bring Me a Flower) Iโ€™m a Robotโ€

This piece of art has recently celebrated its 24th birthday. Probably the best work from Boris and one of the best albums of all time.

Ad Frank and The Fast Easy Women, โ€œMan on Fireโ€ (2009)

(The video above presents the radio-friendly edit. A search will yield a recording with different lyrics. Ad Frankโ€™s dancing is terrible, part of the joke, I suppose, and not unlike the dancing I attempted at my nieceโ€™s wedding at about the same time.)

Ad Frank is based in Boston, Massachusetts. The lyrics refer to locations near Boston:

A stripper in Providence [Rhode Island]

Heโ€™s had everyone in Boston [here lies the substitution of lyrics in the radio-friendly video]

I was introduced to Ad Frank via this earlier album:

Ad Frank, Mister Fancypants (2001)

That last track is my favorite on the album. There are a few seconds of silence before the music kicks in loudly enough to be heard, so give it a few seconds.

Thatโ€™s awesome, I think I said it before but you have a great taste in music.

Also do believe I said that is one of my all time favorite bands before somewhere in this thread :thinking:

My favoriteโ€™s this one:

But the song that first got me into them was this one:

I donโ€™t actually remember how I found them, they just ended up on my :thinking: might have been an ipod touch, the real predecessor of the iphone, normally not much for apple products but I got it for free, or extremely cheap at least. This song came on while I was waiting for a bus and that was it, I was hooked. Itโ€™s one of those bands where most of their songs sound better everytime you hear them.

A metaphor (a broken relationship as a car crash) carried to an extreme, but I really do like this songโ€ฆ

Frank Bango, The Unstudied Sea (2003), โ€œLeaving the Scene of an Accidentโ€

I drove you, and you drove me
And God only knows where those feelings went
Now I feel like a man with two broken legs
Leaving the scene of an accident

And the uncomfortable lyrics become more extreme from there. Still, I think, itโ€™s a great song.

Frank Bangoโ€™s lyrics are written by Richy Vesecky. I posted another Frank Bango song a couple of years ago, quoting there Richy Veseckyโ€™s lyrics in their entirety:
