Full of interesting information such as:

• "I Am Legend" with added Patton noises is out this week
• 2 Disc DVD/CD of "A Perfect Place", the soundtrack/shortfilm is out March '08
• A Fantomas/Melvins live DVD is expected next year
• The Mondo Cane probably won't be a DVD (Patton doesn't seem to like live DVDs much)
• The Mondo Cane CD is out next year
• The Ipecac one-off toys sold out. In a day.
• Tomahawk tour is still being talked about. Might not happen.
• Mondo Cane is still active (I thought it was a one off)
• Peeping Tom second album still on the cards.

The "Perfect Place" soundtrack sounds awesome. Something to look forward to:

Did you find anything that sort of influenced this particular work? Did you look at any other composers or film scores in constructing it?

Mike Patton: Well, the score is a bit of a strange bird. Most film scores have one vibe, and they stick with it. That's all well and good. But he wanted many different styles and many different genres. Yet, he wanted a principle theme to remain throughout them. He wanted a similar through line throughout each piece. I wrote the initial main theme. And then I did a twist version of it. And then I did a big band jazz version of it. I did a couple of rock pieces in there. Shit, I used a Rudy Vallee piece. There was a Thirties crooning ballad that he wanted me to write. Elmore Bernstein was an influence. This soundtrack is all over the map genre wise.

I really enjoyed the Bubba Ho-Tep soundtrack which sounds similar in some ways (basic movie "theme" played in multiple styles throughout).
