Color me interested. I f-ing love Patton even if he did almost burn me breathing fire at a Bungle show back in the day.

Peeping Tom, the project of highly influential musician and "noise rock renaissance man" Mike Patton, who's played most notably in popular alt-rock outfit Faith No More as well as experimental rock outfit Mr. Bungle, has completed work on his first album under the moniker.

According to reports, the project, in the works now for three years, was based upon the 1960 psychological thriller of the same name in which "a young man murders women, using a movie camera to film their dying expressions of terror." While the album features a multiple, wide range of collaboraters including Kool Keith, Norah Jones, Massive Attack, and Dan "the Automator" Nakamura among others, the songs were written before contacting the artists, with Patton hoping for responses. Said Patton,

It's an exotic way of working for someone accustomed to a band environment. It was charming, really. None of the usual 'Animal House' stuff. Instead of swapping spit and underwear, we were swapping files. [...] Plenty of people on the record are still complete strangers to me.

A release has been set for May 30th on Patton's label, Ipecac Recordings.

As tipped here last month, Mike Patton has completed work on his long-gestating self-titled album as Peeping Tom, which will be released May 30 on his own Ipecac label. The set was pieced together by swapping song files through the mail with collaborators like Norah Jones ("Sucker"), Kool Keith ("Getaway") and Massive Attack "Kill the DJ."

Among the other guests on "Peeping Tom" as Dan "The Automator" Nakamura, Amon Tobin, Dub Trio, Bebel Gilberto, Dos One and members of the Melvins.

"I don't know how many songs he recorded -- an insane amount, like 30," Melvins drummer Dale Crover told Billboard.com recently. "There's a lot of layered vocals -- like Beach Boys style. Some hip hop-y sort of beats. It's weird. It's drum machine mixed with live drums mixed with crazy samples, but then there's guitar and bass."

"I don't listen to the radio, but if I did, this is what I'd want it to sound like," Patton says of the project. "This is my version of pop music. In way, this is an exercise for me: taking all these things I've learned over the years and putting them into a pop format."

Patton is hoping to mount a tour in support of "Peeping Tom" but details have yet to be announced. As previously reported, he can be heard guesting on the track "Not Alone" on Dub Trio's new album, "New Heavy," due May 23 via ROIR.

Tomahawk's Mit Gas is pretty incredible.

Tomahawk is an easier listen than Fantomas. Though Fantomas' The Director's Cut is pretty incredible.

I say both Tomahawk discs before Fantomas, then get The Director's Cut and Suspended Animation. Listen, enjoy, then get the self-titled Fantomas disc. Wait a while for Delirium Cordia, as it's much less song-oriented and is really just a freak-out one-hour long "song" that kinda-sorta chronicles surgery. It's worth a listen, but ultimately isn't something I want to listen to again.

Only a few songs I don't care for. Other than that, I dig it. There's a couple tracks that bring me back to his FNM days, the way he sings them. Did anyone catch him on Conan last week? They performed Mojo and actually sounded good.

I really like the jewelcase/album art. Cool idea.

Really like the album so far as well.

I'm digging it, and have been hyping it to people as I go 'round here the past couple of days. Its pretty solid, but I disagree with anyone who says its Lovage 2, just because of collabs, & Dan the Automator. This album is so much more dark, and atmospheric.

Packaging is tops.

Outrageous Mike Patton Moments
* During the 1992 Angel Dust tour with Guns N' Roses:
o At one show in Lisbon, Faith No More invited the audience to throw garbage on stage. Patton then rummaged around and ate some of the trash.
o At another show in South America, the crowd was throwing empty plastic water bottles at the band. Someone threw a bottle on-stage that had urine in it. Mike Patton opened the bottle and poured the contents over his head, plunging the entire audience into shocked silence.
o Patton defecated in an orange juice carton and then sealed it and returned it to Axl Rose's tourbus vending machine.
* During the MTV Music Awards performance of Epic in 1990, Patton flopped around on stage like the controversial dying fish from the video.
* At a 1995 concert in Chile, the excited crowd began to spit on Faith No More. Patton encouraged this and even invited people to spit in his open mouth while singing. Patton stated in a recent interview he would love to come back to Chile.
* During a European tour, Patton defecated on a park bench in front of Kensington Palace.
* During a 1991 FNM concert in Denmark, Patton told the audience that tour-mates, Lenny Kravitz and Sinead O'Connor were copulating in the hospitality tent. Kravitz looked on in horror.
* Patton became notorious for talking about his sexual habits in the press. He was also photographed wearing a t-shirt bearing the image of a man engaging in glory hole fellatio and masturbation with the slogan "Girls are OK--but they're not the real thing."
* During a Faith No More concert, Patton took off his boot, urinated in it, and then drank it.
* Patton regularly did flips while singing on stage. He often landed on his back, but would get right up and continue singing without interuption.
* Patton and Faith No More were famous for showing their disdain for MTV, on MTV. This can be seen in the Hanging with MTV performance during the Angel Dust era, where the band continuously interrupted a flustered VJ while she was trying to introduce Guns N' Roses' November Rain.
* In front of a crowd of roughly 58,000, (while with Faith No More) at the 1993 Phoenix Festival in Stratford upon Avon, Patton urinated all over the security staff at the front of the stage during the encore performance of Epic.
* In 2002, this time fronting Tomahawk at the London Astoria, he again exposed himself and urinated on a group of photographers. Officials at the venue were horrified, but Patton claimed after the show that it was merely a squirting dildo he'd shoved in his pants before going on-stage. The admission seemed to satisfy the press. However, in a recent interview, Patton was asked if it was real or not and was quoted as saying, "There's a dick. There's piss. You do the math."

I would take a lot of this with a grain of salt, the stuff that has no verifiable source like video, which some of the stuff on that Wikipedia entry does. I have a bootleg (soundboard audio) of this particular show and there's absolutely no indication of anything going on other than Mike singing - you know there's be some kind of big crowd reaction to him doing this, not to mention him being distracted from the song, and there's nothing. Patton's got a big legend growing around him for being a freak, but I think a lot of it has been GREATLY exaggerated and just plain made up (like the piss-drinking - I have yet to see an actual account of this, just people saying it happened.) I don't doubt he's a weirdo, but some of it just seems like the kind of thing that results from people playing "telephone" for 15 years - it seems too ridiculous to be true.
