Default The Residents... a must

ok, just in case some of you don't know that band, they're the weirdest you'll EVER see, they've been around since the 60s and still make albums. No one ever saw their faces. Live, they play behind a curtain, they always wear eyeballs over their heads, and the music/video clips they make is pure genious... seriously look it up, there are some of their videos on youtube, but prepare to have nightmares

That show must be TERRIBLE. Not seeing the band play???

I can stare at a curtain with headphones on at home.

I was at a local show awhile ago and there was this rapper in a Residents shirt who sounded exactly like a robot. I feel this story is worth sharing.

Apparantly I've heard rumors that the Residents recruit obscure musicians every time a member leaves or they wish to add to their number.

The really interesting thing is, that we don't know how obscure, or if their members are obscure at all. The members of the band could possibly be musicians we all know very well, but we just don't know they're residents.

I have Duck Stab/Buster&Glen, Commercial Album, Third Reich and Roll and a part of The Gingerbread Man. They're such a great band. I remember playing "Freak Show" as a child, I still wish I was able to play it.

I will have to reluctantly agree with you there.

start re-reading your sentences before you submit them or snakefingers will slit your throat while you are unconscious in your bed
