Hello! My name is Jesus-Dog. I was on the original Residents
Lovers forum under the same username. I'm a 21 year old girl
from New York, and I'm a musician/general artist. It's nice to
finally have another Rez forum again. :)

I got interested in The Residents when I was a DJ at a college
radio station in Louisiana in 1983. Listeners would sometimes
request Constantinople.
Over the years, I loved The Residents appearance, back stories,
crypticness, and all around weirdness. But I just didn't get the
actual music. Even the live shows weren't doing it for me.
Finally I went to see the Wonder of Weird show. Afterwards, I
bought a couple of CDs, Coochie Brake and Ten Two Times.
Coochie Brake didn't work for me, and neither did most of Ten
Two Times. When I heard the two versions of Midnight, suddenly
things clicked. It was like the flicking of a switch. Suddenly,
I liked all the music on Ten Two Times. I liked all the music on
Coochie Brake. I went through the few records I had. I now loved
all the music. Quickly, I purchased practically their entire
catalog, and they became my favorite band.
I have 5 cats, my hobby is seeking weird music, and my favorite
Residents record is The Bunny Boy.

I'm Dutchfan. I'm 53 YO, and live in Holland.
I know The Residents since 1981 and bought "Mark of The Mole". I
liked it, but somehow found it to weird.
A few years later I also bought "Stars and Hank Forever". Loved
the Hank-side of the LP, was not so sure about the Stars...
Anyways lost track of them after that, until 2010, when I heard
The Ughs.
Since then the rest is history.

Beware the Ides of Merch

Dear All,
I am a Cheerful Hypocrite.
I know I was a lot younger when I first heard the Residents. I
may have purchased my first Residents LP, on vinyl, from the
Late Pete Burns in Probe Records on Mathew Street - opposite the
Armadillo Tea Rooms. Now gone. But the Bust of Jung, with the
quote about Liverpool being the Pool of Life is still there. If
you are ever visiting. You can stand on a Manhole Cover. The
same Cosmic Manhole Cover as Bill Drummond - 28th November 2013
- stood on and stare at the steps of Probe Records. Naturally,
Probe Records is gone. Translocated elsewhere.
I suspect Pete Burns may have seen the Residents on the 29th
June 1983 Royal Court in the Royal Court. Although, he was
probably expecting to see them at The State. For various
treasons, the venue was moved. I only suspect this because that
is the date printed on the Ticket I have from the State. Where I
did not go. No. Not me. Not that easily fooled. Well, I am, but
not that day. I wandered to the Royal Court and saw the whole
thing. Afterwards I jumped upon a bus from the bubble stops and
fled the scene. Tremendously happy, as I recall it.
As a consequence of early age exposure to the Residents, I have
a developed the need to sustain delusions about their various
identities and so forth. This is generally harmless but
completely unreliable. It has involved various people - of
generally good character - from across the globe, being incited
to take part in time travel and various implausible reports.
Bunny is possibly my most sentimentally favourite. Having bribed
the Box Office, in London, with Chocolates for various reasons,
I do have a strange affection for the whole thing. Especially
since I ended up in Cambridge. Watching all of the Bunnification
Webination to date. It was an interesting few days.
Somewhere between Mole and Bunny, I acquired a slight brain
injury. I did recover. I suspect I did not recover when I
believed I recovered.

Santaci, 53 and living in Scotland.
First heard 1 minute movies on the Old Grey Whistle Test, then
bought Residue. Had a ticket for, but missed, the Mole Show in
Edinburgh, biggest mistake of my life.
Soft spot for Bobuck sings at the moment.

Hello, you skeletons and space cadets!
I am Sebastianne, also known as Erick the Ghost. I am a
musician, historian and fortune teller from Maryland, USA. I've
been a fan of the Residents for a few years now, and have been
working through the associated acts (Snakefinger, Renaldo and
the Loaf, etc) ever since. I've seen the band live once and
hope to see them again.
I am currently obsessed with the Intermission album, especially
the track "Would We Be Alive?".
Glad to meet you all!

My name is ZZaunkoenig. The 1st Z stands for Zacharias,
"Zaunkoenig" means "wren", a small but very lively singer.
Actually the name derives from the alliteration of the names of
Duckburgh inhabitants. So blame Carl Barks on that.
I first discovered The Residents ca. at 1980 when I read an
article about them in a german music magazine called "Fachblatt
Musikmagazin". I heard and loved them until God in Three Persons
- and then forgot them because my interests moved in another
direction.
Then somehow somewhen I rediscovered them - and loved them more
than ever. I had the luck to be able to buy a collection of dvds
and cds from a guy on eBay. And I was able to see them two times
live - first time in Hamburg at the Wonder of the Weird Show,
second time in Düsseldorf at the Shadowland Tour (which was sooo
great).
My favorite albums? That changes every once in a while. Maybe
one of my all time favorites is River of Hades - but that is
only one album. Everytime I hear an album I discover something
new. That's a sign for really great music, isn't it?
I'm just listening to the Mole Show while I'm writing this. What
a damn **** great show that was.
Other music I like is Frank Zappa (also discovered around 1980)
and Captain Beefheart and Yes and Led Zeppelin and ... The
Beatles of course ... and Fantômas (one very great band - listen
to them!).
