Mike Patton is a man of taste, a man of culture. So when Rolling Stone hit him up to offer some quarantine suggestions for movies and music to listen to, I was very curious to see what he picked.
Naturally, none of the music is metal and most of it looks foreign, and you bet your ass I'm going to sample most of it. As for films, he sticks to classics and disaster films. Here are his picks:
Music
Les Baxter: Space Escapade,The Passions, and Ritual of the Savage
Ferrante & Teicher: Denizens of the Deep
André Popp: Delirium in Hi-Fi
Dick Hyman: Electric Eclectics and Moon Gas
Yma Sumac: Voice of the Xtabay
Esquivel: Latin-Esque
Bernard Parmegiani, Pop’eclectic
Jean-Claude Vannier: Electro Rapide
Raymond Scott: Manhattan Research Inc. or Soothing Sounds for Baby
The Voyager Golden Record
Films
Barrabas
Ben-Hur
Lawrence of Arabia
The Godfather / Goodfellas
Sergio Leone’s “Dollars Trilogy”
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
THX 1138
Marooned
Woman in the Dunes
Pandemic
Contagion
Panic Room
The Shining
Seconds
