Hey, Trevor, whenever you do come around to this question, know that not all people who enjoy Mr. Bungle were absolutely offended and outraged by the whole DV session NFT thing. It was a curveball, of course, but a lot of people are quick to get haughty and call out artists without ever thinking of their own carbon footprint (to stick to the environmental angle, at least). Speaking for myself, even though I don't have the disposable income to bid in the auction, I do appreciate that the music itself is free to listen to, and I enjoyed having that 10-minute window into the DV sessions. Who knows what else you guys will recover out of that vortex?
In any case, here's a question pertaining to the past: is it you singing/speaking the pre-chorus part ("Spinning, grinning, believing, deceiving...") in Carousel? I've seen footage of you doing it live in 1989, and on record it doesn't sound like Patton doing that part, so I'd like to know if it's a rare instance of non-Patton vox on record.
Since we're talking vocals, who was in the chorus part for Everyone I Went to High School with is Dead? Was it the whole band, did someone sit that out, how did that go? I love how bleak and desperate it sounds, it's definitely one of my favorites.
Take care man!

MY ANSWER:

Everyone is a hypocrite. I can’t be bothered with know-it-all opinions. The same people who bitch about NFTs seem perfectly fine with us getting on a plane with a crew and flying thousands of miles, producing CDs, driving around in cars, etc. Are these Buddhist vegans who don’t own computers? It grinds my gears!

Yes, that is me in the pre-chorus of Carousel. As far as the chorus of High School, I don’t remember, but I’m sure it was most of the band, probably a couple friends, maybe an engineer…. and we probably doubled it.
