Souly, you get one of my carefully considered, personally constructed Tours de Residents. I know you well enough -- and I certainly know the Residents well enough -- to cut a rudimentary path for you through all that weirdness.

That's the most exciting thing ever. I can't wait.

You say that now. Residents fans are... uncommon. I love you like yer my own kin, so I'll just tell you that I won't be offended if you decide you want to go see Why? instead. I know you love Why?.

Why? will almost certainly be at Sasquatch, though, and those dusty old fuckers probably won't make it to their 41st. Decisions. Either way, Tour de Residents. Comin' yer way.

I am now in a Residents youtube rabbit hole.

I need help if I'm going to do this before February. I mean Why? only has 4 albums.

Why? has/have 6 1/2 albums and a few EPs. They are playing some deep cuts so you'd better get on that shit.

It truly is.

I wasn't counting EP's or weird stuff. Ideally I would get to see both, but I don't think that's going to happen. If I like the Residents I will do that for sure because I can't argue wit the logic that I will probably see Why? some time in the near future.

Moreso than most that come out... I'll be curious to see how much of what they play you've heard before. A 'deep cut' coming from a discography that looks like this:

http://www.residents.com/historical4/indexalpha/

is on a whole other level than what would be considered a deep cut from just about anyone else. And we're talking deeeeeeeeeeep cuts.

I will say that I've never heard them play anything off of Mark of the Mole. I will also say that if ever they were gonna dust some of that shit off, it would be on this tour.

And speaking of dusting things off that I've never seen, I'd be lying if I wasn't hoping against hope for a lil' bit of this:

How about Fingerprince or Eskimo? I like those ones as much as the Mole. Or track 10 from WB: RMX? The vocal of that chune is nearly always playing in my head; I can't get enough of it. While we're there, can you point me in the direction of another album and/or track(s) where Randy sings like that?

And while we're there, have you not created a Residents thread yet?

Yeah, because Why? aren't going to play any weird stuff at all.

Oaklandazulasylum isn't even that weird, and they played some of it in September...the Spilt EP! with Odd Nosdam (clocking in at 63 minutes - what are you guys smoking? We call that an LP) is pretty fuckin' weird, though.

Posted by Souly on Dec 8, 2012, 9:22pm

I honestly just looked up their wikipedia page and saw they had 4 'albums'. What I should have said was, 'I can probably listen to everything Why? has ever done in a lot less time than I can listen to everything the Residents have ever done'.

Discogs.com > wikipedia

I just don't want you to miss out on Oaklandazulasylum 'cause it's really fuckin' good.
