Before I get to the goodness, a brief side note. According to a sign there, that was the last show at Irving Plaza as the name is changing to The Fillmore. Why? I don't know. Change in ownership I'm guessing, but even so Irving Plaza seemed good to me. Irving Plaza on Irving Place ... it seems like that all makes things easy to recognize and easy to find, but that's just me.
So, in any case, the show was good. Well, I said fucking good in the first line so I guess I should stick with that. The show was fucking good. Mike Patton (although possibly deranged) is a musical and entertainment genius so off to a good start. Along with Patton was Dan the Automator making Synthesizer noise/scratching, a keyboard guy, the Dub Trio (a drummer, bass player & guitar player), a back-up singer, Imani Coppola who added some violin when not singing, and another back-up singer/beatboxer, Butterscotch.
As an added bonus, Jennifer Charles of Elysian Fields and Lovage fame (?) came to (sort of) help out on a tune and Rahzel of The Roots fame came on encore style, to do a little beatboxing and help out on a cover of Bobby Womack's "Across 110th Street." Pretty sweet.
I'll also mention that Patton was wearing a red, button down shirt with a bulletproof vest over it. I guess he was going with the gangsta motif. Anyway, that's all the recap I'm gonna do.
I will also mention this too ... now I'm not one to often get all that excited about famous folk, and even less often do I get a stage or celebrity crushes going, but I think I now have one. It's Butterscotch. The beatboxing was awesome, she sings, she plays instruments, she can dribble a basketball better than me (that might not be too impressive actually), oh and did I mention the cuteness? No? Well, she's cute too. I think big, fat guy when I think beatbox, but not in this case.
There. I said it and it feels good to get it off my chest.
Anywho, here is a pretty cool clip of her on Tom Green Live. Sit through the whole thing. It's worth it:

In following the analysis of the dream we have made some progress toward an understanding of the composition of this most marvelous and most mysterious of instruments; celebrex to be sure, we have not gone very far, but enough of a beginning has been made to allow us to advance from other so-called pathological formations further into the analysis of the unconscious.. Podington agreed with his friend that ritalin walking home was the best thing they could do.. Occasionally, also, he said: cipro Albert has not done that.. We can't lose much by lithium that.. The fruit of his desire had vicodin turned to ashes in his mouth.. He saw that his friend was nearly frightened thyroid out of his wits, and that, figuratively speaking, he must step to the helm and take charge of the vessel.. This force imparts to the dream that influence which we have designated as secondary elaboration for the viagra sake of connection and comprehensibility.. Go to the head of the class, Josselyn, said diflucan the venerable patriarch.. We'll get out all zoloft right.. Then a brilliant idea rose in lisinopril his mind...
