Music reviews
I discovered The Legendary Pink Dots through The Residents. An obscure Youtube artist going under the moniker of therezident (now renamed Virgil Pink) had been producing his own videos for Residents songs. Sometimes these videos would be cobbled together from cheap DV footage…
I’ve not looked up any other reviews of Ducky’s music, but I’m assuming there is a non-zero number of them that refers to her music as “just ducky!”, which makes me want to scream because that is quite possibly the hackiest thing…
I have loved the Bonzo Dog Band (a/k/a The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band) forever. I’d heard them mentioned a bunch of times, so one day in high school I went down to the Tower Records, back when Tower Recordses still existed, and…
