I didn't know, before now, that there were actually four Residents at any time (outside of photo shoots and performances). I thought it was always a duo, or more like just one guy doing music and the other guy focusing on visuals and stagey aspects of the act. But four musicians explains why their earlier material is…

72-82 sounds about right.  I like some of the mid-80's material, like the american composers series, but they seemed to lose their creative spark after that. They're like Woody Allen; putting new things out all the time, regardless of creativity or quality. And they've been around nearly as long. At least they're…

I personally like "Third Reich and Roll" the most, but it's extremely abrasive, so I hesitate to recommend it.

And their most accessible is "The Commercial Album", so that's a safe…

MOMA has Residents stuff in their collection, as well as other big art foundations around the world. Japan has a huge art market, and they love the Residents. They're hoping to sell these fridges to museums and private art collectors.

The first thing I thought of after "Enter the Void" ended was how much I was looking forward to watching it again.

I think the fact that it was an Italian production helped as well. It almost looks like Fellini's Satyricon in its opulence and extravagance. It's sexy, in other words. A whole different aesthetic from the cold, clean, militaristic look of Star Wars. If it had a better script and a better cast it could have been…
