Free! Weird!

Free! Weird! is an ongoing series of free releases by The Residents, on the group's official website. 
The program was hosted on The Residents' website since, from 2017 to the present day, now on a much more frequent basis than monthly and including occasional videos, images and texts. A representative of Cherry Red Records has said that the group may eventually release a Free! Weird! collection as part of their pREServed series of reissues."Free Weird might happen at some point, I guess, and I know there is a plan for some of the download only stuff that should appear over the summer." - Richard, The Residents Facebook group, January 15th 2020
A pre-cursor to the Free! Weird! was the monthly dot.com series of free downloads released through RalphAmerica.com between June of 1999 to May of 2000.
