Patto – The Man
I watched Observe and Report the other night and this song comes up when the mall security team comes down the escalator in their “strictly business” pose. My man Bob pointed out it’s an extremely bad-ass track from Patto called “The Man”. It’s a long one but hang in there for the absolutely frenetic drumming during the closing climax. Jesus this kills.
It’s a fuckin’ dark comedy (if you dig Jody Hill’s other stuff like The Foot Fist Way and Eastbound and Down) and the soundtrack is absolutely killer — The Band, Dwarves, Yardbirds and a smokin’ Pixies cover. I figured they must have gotten Wayne Kramer to handle the music again since he’s done such a great job on EBAD but turns out it wasn’t him after all. Obviously Jody Hill puts a high priority on locating only the finest tracks to aurally accompany his work.
