NEM#103: Homer Flynn on The Residents' 50 Years

Aug 16, 2019, 08:58 PM

The Residents were formed in 1969 and have released around 50 albums of theatrical, experimental music with humor and humanity. They're great to freak people out with. The band is anonymous; Homer is the head of their management arm, The Cryptic Corporation.

We discuss "Good Vibes" from Intruders (2019), "Blue Rosebuds," from Duck Stab (1978) and the live Shadowland (2014), "Kiss of Flesh" from God in Three Persons (1988), and we listen to "If Only" from the Hardy Fox tribute album The Godfather of Odd (2019). Intro: "Fire (Santa Dog)" (1972) and outro: "The Simple Song" from Commercial Album (1980). For more, visit residents.com.
