The Residents Project Supplemental Edition: Bad Day on the Midway: The Book

Bad Day On The Midway ReconsideredIn case you don’t remember, we didn’t really care much for Have A Bad Day, the soundtrack CD to the Residents‘ CD-ROM game Bad Day on the Midway.  And it didn’t help that of the three of us, none had actually played the game the music came from.  In fact, I’m not sure if we COULD play the game even if we had a copy of it, given how computers advanced and whatnot.  The Bad Day project couldn’t die, however.  After at least three attempts to turn it into a TV series (including one attempt by David Lynch of all people), the Residents — or rather the singing Resident, Randy Rose — turned the storyline of the game into a short novel.

So, we’re stealin’ the idea from the Sparks Project and doing one with probably even more records out there — The Residents!  And this time we’re changing it up a little bit — we’ve got two hardcore Residents fans in me and Rich, but Aila is, at best, a casual fan, who will be hearing about 99% of these records for the first time.  DANGEROUS!  So, enjoy, THE RESIDENTS PROJECT!

Also: Kittysneezes is also closed for the rest of the year, aside from next week’s Crush On Radio Episode Announcement!  So go enjoy whichever holiday you may or may not enjoy.  Might I recommend Mongolian Independence Day on December 29th?

These supplemental pieces are here to mop up and put things to rights. We begin with the earliest piece of official Residential music, “Santa Dog”, and its many offspring. Continue reading

A Completely Hypothetical Genesis of the Residents' WB:RMX album

Cover of "Wb: Rmx"

Picture this scenario:

The Residents made up the existence of The Warner Brothers Album as just another piece of their mythology. They did the artwork for the reel box and maybe even threw in a blank reel, or maybe just some odds and ends on the tape. But nothing was actually ever sent to Warner Bros., or even intended to be an album, or even anything that’s supposed to be a song. They just forged the rejection letter from the A&R man. They just had a quick physical artifact so, if asked, they could go “Oh, yeah, that’s it over there. No, you can’t listen to it. We’re ashamed of that stage of our development.” Something they could let Renaldo be photographed with.
