Amber - The Residents (1980)
A lil’ autumnal flavor from our patron saints.
If you happen to be in the Oakland area, do yourself a favor and go check out Randy Rose’s solo expedition Sam’s Enchanted Evening. It’s sure to be a rewarding, befuddling and delightful experience. Wish we could attend…

Simple Song - The Residents (1980)
‘Bout damn time we brought back our eyeball buddies, whom we’ve featured in a few previous posts.
The first time my good friend Abel Johnson heard this song, he was certain they were singing ‘we are sinful, you are sinful…’ etc. I corrected him, but the sinister quality of the tune definitely doesn’t resist interpretations like Abel’s. Maybe he was right all along…
Mr. Johnson & I loved the song so much we made a video, which turns four years old in a manner of weeks.
The Residents also made a video, which is phenomenally better and turns 31 any day now…
