  • Mr. Bungle

    Are there any other Mr. Bungle fans out there? I really like them, they are like taking a bullet train tour of musical styles. On acid.
    He's got the Midas touch.
    But he touched it too much!

    Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

      No, I don't think so. There is no Mr. Bungle AFAIK, it's the name of the group. The lead singer is the guy from Faith No More, Mike Patton.

        I'm being a liitlel unfair.

        Bungle was a character in a UK kids show in the 70's and early 80's.

        He was a man in a cotume and looked like chewbacca after a bif haircut.

        Oh and he was very camp

          I like them, have you heard any Fantomas? I think you might like them.

            Perhaps there is a link between the two then. They seem to enjoy evil clown type art on their album covers, was this Bungle an evil clown?

              Is that the band which is more or less the same people? I heard one of their albums that a friend lent me, but I was so engrossed by the bizarre stuff on the album liner that I'm not sure I remember the music, other than a vague feeling that it was pretty cool.

                No he was more a life size teddy bear. His colleague Zippy was undoubtedly evil though

                    Do you remember the names of your favorite albums by them? I'll keep them in mind when I go to the music store.

                      The Director's Cut is the soundtrack one, I'd recommend that if you like Mr Bungle.

                      The only other one is called Fantomas, oh and there's a joint live album with the Melvins but I can't remember what it's called.

                        Thanks. I'm pretty sure that Fantamos was the one I heard before. I'll keep an eye open for "Director's Cut".

                          Of course I like Mr. Bungle
                          I'm not a complete idiot: some parts are still missing.

                            If you like Mr. Bungle, you might want to check out John Zorn. Bungle was heavily influenced by him.
                            "In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed. But they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."
                            —Orson Welles as Harry Lime
