    Most likely done 'by design'!
    They (He) knows some fans like one style, others like the other style, and some people just want more RESIDENTS!!!

    I have to wonder, maybe the version of the singing Resident we see in the "Bury my Bone" video will be the version we will see in the Dog Stab tour? It would make sense, at least more sense than bringing back the Randy persona, since the Randy, Chuck & Bob Trilogy is over.

    It would also be cool if the performance included individuals wearing suits, ties, and dog masks, and then slowly started stripping down to what they were wearing in the video.

    Also, the video reminds me a bit of the video for "Rushing Like a Banshee".

    Randy is somewhat active on their Facebook group.

    The thing I noticed about the In Between Dreams tour (at least the one I attended) was that there wasn't any commentary during the show. They played Residents songs and showed some video segments in-between some of the songs. This is different than the Randy Chuck & Bob performances where it seems like there was more direct storytelling/interaction with the audience.

    I feel like since the Dog Stab tour is so closely linked to Alvin Snow/Dyin' Dog, there will probably do some kind of engagement with the audience. The question still is, who will be performing the songs on stage lore-wise. Of course, it's going to be the same physical human being, but I wonder whether they'll bring "Randy" back, or maybe the new character from the "Bury my Bone" video. Or maybe they could even bring some guests? Part of me would love to see a Residents show with the vibe of a Parliament-Funkadelic show, where there are like 15+ people on stage dancing and grooving all at once.

    The video segments from IBD weren’t too dissimilar to what they did on the Talking Light tour, but your point is well taken.

    I don’t know what their future plans are but they are aging so I hope they’re able to tour within the next year or so.

    The new video looks like it was shot up on the trails in The Presidio in SF.

    It’s been getting increasingly more ridiculous with the Residents for a long time.

    I have a question...I was just looking at the TVTropes article for The Residents and I saw this:

    The Residents / Trivia - TV Tropes
    "Randy featured in an educational rap song in the 1990s, under the name Seymour Hodges. He played the role of a creepy stranger."

    Does anyone know if this is true? If so, where can this rap song be found? Also, I'm assuming educational as in for children (maybe teaching them about stranger danger), and rap as in actually a hip-hop song? This would be really cool to hear, especially since I don't know of any other Residents tracks that could be considered rap/hip-hop.

    Agreed. I'm in it for the music, which is hard enough to stay up-to-date with as it is. Don't need special editions or pressings, unless it's the only available format.

    This is seriously amazing, thanks for linking.
    Randy's voice and personality works perfectly with this genre, I really hope they consider doing a whole album full of tracks like this.

    I don't think they're interested in doing rap pastiches anymore cause rap isn't really fun to mock these days. But they do reveal a wish to dabble in the genre during the Demons Dance Alone tour, so you can never be sure. I also remember Randy trying to start a rap persona that didn't go anywhere.

    I honestly don't even pay attention to anything released on Psychofon. That stuff is for vinyl fetishists and rich collectors with plenty of money to throw away. I'm glad none of the music released there is exclusive (except for that Intruder single... Intruders is like my least favorite Residents album but I'm still darn curious about that "Voodoo Doll" demo...)

  21. Hooray! The Residents are back. I love "Bury My Bone" and the video. My hope is restored. Now if that darn vinyl wasn't so spendy. Fifty to one hundred dollars for an ep?

    Cool! Actually, that label's Bandcamp is really interesting but that's a slice o' wax I assumed I'd never hear.
