Mike Patton's Most Listened To Tapes

[Rutger Hauer]

I found this interesting article in Spin magazine (September 1992). After
the release of AngelDust.

They are as follows:

1) Widney High, Special Music from Special Kids (retarded teenagers from
LA's Widney High School singing self-written tunes to lame disco music).
2) Ween, The Pod
3) Rudy Ray Moore, This Pussy Belongs To Me
4) Tom Jones' Greatest Hits
5) Ice Cube, Kill At Will Ep
6) Inuit Eskimo Throat Songs (recording of Eskimo women playing a
traditional growling game).
7) Surprise, You Fucker (homemade mix-tape featuring Mrs. Miller, Leonard
Nimoy, the Chipmunks, and the Manson Family Girls)

During the interiview with the band, Patton pops in the tape.

Mike Patton: "You gotta hear this, it's beautiful."
We go into Martin's room nextdoor, he pops in the tape, and turns it up
full volume. Out pours some bad Casio organ and drum machine beats, with
these strange voices chanting along with cheesy music.

Patton is standing with a corncob pipe clenched in his mouth a` la Hugh
Hefner---sans the silk pajamas---staring at the ghetto blaster in
reverence. Finally, Martin looks up and comments: "It's got a kind of Ice
Follies--type appeal, doesn't it?"
