Double Shot

* US EP Artwork (Censored for wiki use)
* Dutch EP Artwork
* Single Artwork

***Double Shot*** is the title of an EP and Single released by Rykodisc & Torso respectively.

## History

Both released to support *God In Three Persons*, the twenty minute EP version features three tracks, a cover of Double Shot of My Baby's Love, an extended remix of 'Loss Of Loved One' & the instrumental version of 'Kiss Of Flesh' featured on the *God In Three Persons soundtrack*. The EP version was released on March 30th on a 3" MiniCD in the US by Rykodisc, and in Holland by Torso.

The title track was also released as a single from the EP, featuring an instrumental version of *The Thing About Them* from the *God In Three Persons Soundtrack* as the B-Side.

The release was a part of the group's initial intention to release the *God In Three Persons* album in a manner akin to "potato chips", ie. in a variety of flavours. This release campaign also saw the release of an instrumental version of the album and the "Holy Kiss Of Flesh" single, which was to be followed by at least one more additional single which never eventuated.

Black Tar and the Cry Babies (album)

***Black Tar and the Cry Babies*** is a compilation album by Black Tar and the Cry Babies, a Residents off-shoot project formed by Charles Bobuck and Hardy Fox.

The compilation was released in a limited edition of 300 on October 18th 2019 on Klanggalerie, as part of the TOOK series of limited edition releases.

## History

Black Tar and the Cry Babies was a project formed by Charles Bobuck and Hardy Fox (as well as other members of The Residents). This group released their music online around Halloween beginning in 2015 with the *Season of the Witch* EP, followed two years later by *Left With The Fires* - both of which are represented on this compilation album.

The Black Tar EPs were generally released in order to raise money for needy projects (poverty, mass destruction in fire, and anti-Donald Trump campaigns). *Left With The Fires* was originally published for free on Hardy Fox's webpage.

Another six songs were later released (which can be heard on the *Tarnation* compilation album) but do not feature here, as according to Klanggalerie owner Walter Robotka, "these were ironic soundclips often not even using Hardy's own music".

## Track listing

1. Season of the Witch
	1. The Service
	2. Kill Him
	3. Shorty`s Lament
	4. Season of the Witch
2. Left With The Fires
3. The Fires

The tape is made up of short unfinished midi compositions which later formed small parts of the aforementioned albums.

### Release

The existence of the tape was announced in February of 2021, and was released as part of the Gingerbread Man 3xCD pREServed edition on May 28th of that same year.

Don't Be Cruel

"***Don't Be Cruel***" is an EP released by The Residents through Torso in 1990. The CD edition features 2 outtakes from The King & Eye, as well as two then recent compositions by the band.

## Background

In one day in August of 1989, The Residents recorded *The King & Eye,* an album comprising of 16 Elvis Presley covers, and 5 parts of their *Baby King* suite. During these sessions two more Elvis covers were recorded, *Don't*, and *Surrender*. And so when it came time for Torso to release the single from The King & Eye, these two were chosen as the B-Side.

When the EP was compiled and the group received test pressings with artwork included, The Residents all agreed that at 7 minutes, it was much, much too short. As a result, they sent Torso two recently finished untitled instrumental pieces to flesh out the release. Seeing as the artwork for the CD was already finished, the two tracks had to be included as secret bonus tracks.

When asked about the titles of these pieces, Uncle Willie checked the master tapes, and discovered they had only ever been listed as 'Song 1 with no name' and 'Song 2 with no name'. They were given the names The Toy Factory, and Ghost Music on the 2010 Mini-Album 'Chicken Scratching With The Residents',

The single was re-released as part of the limited edition *In Memoriam Torso* box set in 1994, and then again in 2020 as part of the Cube-E Box Set, although featuring an edited version of the title track.

Dogtag (Bunny Intermission)

* 2008 Artwork
* 2009 Artwork
* 2014 Artwork

***Dogtag (Bunny Intermission) (Originally titled 'Bunny Boy Intermission Music)*** is a digital single released by The Residents in 2008, but later credited entirely to Charles Bobuck.

## History

Intermission music for The Bunny Boy Tour, this 15-minute single contains remixes of Residents songs associated with *(but not always performed on)* past tour projects, including "Secret Seed", "Blue Tongues", "Burning Love", "I Hate Heaven", "Whatever Happened To Vileness Fats?", "Make Me Moo" and "Secret Room".

The Residents initially distributed the MP3 file via an Internet link embedded on the back of a dog tag necklace, with the other side decorated with a classic eyeball image. This was first made available on October 7th, 2008. The single was re-released in 2009 through RSD, and then in 2014 as a Charles Bobuck "contraption" under the slightly altered title of '*Dog Tag*.'

Minus Blue Rosebuds and Hunk o Love, which The Residents directly lifted from the RMX albums, all samples heard by The Residents were remixed in 2008.

Duck Stab!/Buster & Glen Notebook

***Duck Stab!/Buster & Glen Notebook*** is a 7" x 7" book featuring handwritten notes and lyric sketches by The Residents from the production of their 1978 album *Duck Stab!/Buster & Glen*.

The book was edited by Aaron Tanner and published in a limited edition of 500 copies accompanying the deluxe edition of the Melodic Virtue coffee table book *A Sight For Sore Eyes, Vol. 1* on January 7th 2022.

## Contents

The 24 page, 7" x 7" *Duck Stab!/Buster & Glen Notebook* contains selected handwritten notes and lyrical sketches by The Residents, which were among a number of rough ideas collected by a member of the group in a box, and used in the production of the 1978 EP *Duck Stab!* and album *Duck Stab!/Buster & Glen*.

The book also reveals a diagram of The Residents' tape studio set-up, rough outlines of planned sequences for Graeme Whifler's unproduced *Duck Stab!* film (which would have featured Bridgit Terris in the lead role of Skinny), and the development of the lyrics to Snakefinger's debut solo single "The Spot" (featured in the book under its original working title "The Stain").

Favorite Top 10 (The Last Word, 2007)

## BOG chronology

**"Favorite Top 10"** is the second instalment of the blog The Last Word, authored by Will Rothers (better known as Big Brother, the former webmaster of The Residents' official website). It was published on December 5th 2007, and updated on December 14th.

In this blog entry, Big Brother surveys seven people who have been involved with The Residents over their (then) 35 year career. A similar survey was featured in a later entry, also titled "Favorite Top 10", in February 2009.

## The blog

### Favorite Top 10

At the end of 2007, I invited 7 people who have a wide knowledge of The Residents 35 year career to pick their ten favorite projects. Not what they thought were the best necessarily, but what they liked the most. The full lists can be found in the Historical.

Observation:

The 7 did not agree on any project.

The project with the most votes with 6/7 was **God in 3 Persons**.

Followed by **CUBE E** (show), **Not Available**, and **Animal Lover** which got 5/7 votes.

Also scoring high: **Vileness Fats** (video), **Icky Flix** (DVD), 4/7 votes.

3/7 went to **Mark of the Mole**, **The Commercial Album**, and **Bad Day on the Midway** (CD-ROM)

---BB

No particular inference should be taken by this other that it's intrinsic interest.

The 7 people were:

Homer Flynn of The Cryptic Corporation

Hardy Fox of The Cryptic Corporation

Robert Schilling of Mute Records (London)

Dren McDonald of Ralph America

Sparky of BogCast

Paulie Kraynak of Bach is Dead

Igor of RRRoar

Hit The Road Jack

**"Hit The Road Jack"** is a non-album single by The Residents, released on Ralph Records in 1987. It features an up-tempo electronic cover of the Percy Mayfield song of the same name (popularly performed by Ray Charles), backed by an excerpt from their instrumental suite *For Elsie*, based on "Fur Elise" by Ludwig van Beethoven.

"Hit The Road Jack" was intended to be included on *Ray & Ra*, a planned (but never completed) album in the group's American Composer Series, which combined the music of Ray Charles with that of Sun Ra. A "Special Almost Dance Mix" of the song was also released as a 12" EP in the same year.

## History

"Hit The Road Jack" was recorded by The Residents for *Ray & Ra*, an unreleased album in their American Composer Series, which would have juxtaposed the music of Ray Charles with the compositions of Sun Ra (another excerpt from this unfinished album would later be heard as part of the composition "Daydream In Space").

The single also features an excerpt from the group's 1985 instrumental suite "For Elsie", based on "Fur Elise" by Ludwig van Beethoven. This piece was composed as intermission music for the 13th Anniversary Show and was later released in its entirety on the EP of the same name. The same excerpt was later included on the digital compilation *Morning Music* in 2010.

## Release

The first pressing of the single, released by Ralph Records, was limited to 200 copies. This limited edition features plain yellow labels. The second regular pressing featured a checkered label. Following this, a picture disc edition was released in a limited edition of 2,000. A "Special Almost Dance Mix" of the song was also released as a 12" EP around the same time.

The single was released in Holland on June 20th 1987 by Torso in both 7" and 12" editions. The 12" featured an extended version of the title track, which is the same as the "Special Almost Dance Mix", just played at a slower speed.

Hydrogen Kaleidoscope

* Original release
* CD edition

***Hydrogen Kaleidoscope*** is an album by David Janssen (half of the English avant-garde duo Renaldo & The Loaf), under the guise of his ambient solo project The Darkening Scale. It was self-released in MP3 format in 2010.

"Riding The Bull Horn" was originally intended for another of Janssen's musical projects, The Tapeworm Vessel with pianist Sylvie Walder. Walder appears on the version featured on the album.

In 2022 an alternative version of the album was issued on CD by Austrian label Klanggalerie; this version (featuring only four tracks from the original version of the album) is said by Janssen to "(re-examine) the material" from *Hydrogen Kaleidoscope* and *Secondhand Muon* in order to make a "revised 'best of' version of the two releases".

Ibbur

***Ibbur*** is a soundtrack album by Hardy Fox, related to his novella "The Stone", which was serialized in the Hacienda Bridge email newsletter between March and October 2017.

Originally announced in January 2017, *Ibbur* was repeatedly delayed for unspecified reasons, ultimately seeing release on March 12th 2022 on Klanggalerie, more than three years after Fox's death from brain cancer in October 2018.

It is the third posthumous release of Fox's solo material under his own name, and fourth posthumous Fox release overall (including the Bob Uck and the Family Truck compilation *Oddities 2013-2015*).

## History

First announced by Hardy Fox as an upcoming release in January 2017, and then (after Fox's death in 2018) scheduled for release in Spring 2020, *Ibbur* was delayed by the following January and replaced on Klanggalerie's upcoming release roster with another posthumous Fox release, *Killing Time*.

Described as a "soundtrack album", *Ibbur* is related to Fox's novella "The Stone", which was serialized in the Hacienda Bridge email newsletter between March and October 2017. The final instalment of "The Stone" became notorious among Residents fans for revealing that the composer and keyboardist (and former member of The Residents) hitherto known as Charles Bobuck was, in reality, Fox himself. The Bobuck persona was permanently retired by Fox after the conclusion of the novella.

Faceless Forever (book)

### Author

Jim Knipfel and Brian Poole (with The Residents, Chris Combs, Paulie Kraynak, Andreas Mathews and Richard Anderson)

### Pages

294

***Faceless Forever - A Residents Encyclopaedia*** is a hardcover encyclopedia about The Residents, by Jim Knipfel and Brian Poole (with contributions from Chris Combs, Paulie Kraynak, Andreas Mathews of the Eyeball Museum, Richard Anderson, and The Residents themselves), released in an edition of one thousand copies, exclusively via mail order, through Cherry Red Records on December 9th 2022.

A hardcover encyclopedia with 294 pages featuring more than five hundred entries, covering "every release, every tour, key collaborators, lesser-known curiosities, niche trivia and minutiae from the periphery of the group's universe", *Faceless Forever* is part of a series of 2022 releases by The Residents highlighting their 50th Anniversary, and is officially sanctioned by The Cryptic Corporation.

The book became available for pre-order on October 21st alongside the single "Santa Dog 2022", the book and single were also available together in a bundle. It shares a name with The Residents' 50th Anniversary tour, which officially premiered in Europe and the United Kingdom in February and March 2023.

## *Faceless Forever* and this wiki

*Faceless Forever*'s acknowledgements section includes The Cryptic Corporation's first public acknowledgement of the unofficial, fan-sourced Meet The Residents Wiki. The book refers to the wiki as "remarkable" and "invaluable", and recommends that readers "throw this book to the floor and head there immediately".

The administrative team behind the wiki, The Mysterious Spanish Ladies, received this appraisal with delight, surprise and gratitude (although The Ladies always recommend careful handling of important resource materials such as *Faceless Forever*). Reportedly at least one Mysterious Spanish Lady was generously offered a free copy of the book by a representative of Cryptic, but declined the offer as they had already ordered it.

In a development which The Ladies found particularly gratifying, The Residents themselves are noted to have referred to the wiki while compiling the book, in order to fill "gaps in [their] collective hive memory".

E. T. A. Hoffmann

**Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann** (commonly abbreviated as **E. T. A. Hoffmann**; born ***Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmann***; 24 January 1776 – 25 June 1822) was a German Romantic author of fantasy and Gothic horror, a jurist, composer, music critic and artist.

Hoffmann's stories highly influenced 19th-century literature, and he is one of the major authors of the Romantic movement.

He is the author of the 1816 short story "Der Sandmann", which has inspired The Residents since their earliest days, and is the basis of the 2009 concept album *The Voice of Midnight*.

## Biography

His stories form the basis of Jacques Offenbach's opera The Tales of Hoffmann, in which Hoffmann appears (heavily fictionalized) as the hero.

He is also the author of the novella *The Nutcracker and the Mouse King*, on which Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's ballet The Nutcracker is based. The ballet Coppélia is based on two other stories that Hoffmann wrote, while Schumann's Kreisleriana is based on Hoffmann's character Johannes Kreisler.

Eyeball to Eyeball

***The Residents: Eyeball to Eyeball / Mezi čtyřma očima*** (often referred to simply as ***Eyeball to Eyeball***) is a book by Miroslav Wanek and Karel Cisar, published by Argo in the Czech Republic. It contains biographical material about The Residents, as well as a complete (at that time) collection of the group's lyrics (in English and Czech).

The book was released at the premiere of the Czech theatrical adaptation of The Residents' album *Freak Show* at the Archa Theatre in Prague on November 1st 1995. The book's co-author Wanek was conductor for these shows; Wanek's band Už Jsme Doma has collaborated with The Residents occasionally in the years since.

## Contents

The book opens with two biographies on The Residents; "The True Story of The Residents" by Matt Groening (previously published elsewhere) and a new essay titled "Who Are They", an exploration of the people behind the masks via their work, which concludes that "[The Residents] are living people! But still they prefer to speak about it only eyeball to eyeball."

The book's second section, titled "Eyeball to Eyeball" contains a complete (at that time) collection of the group's lyrics (with Czech translations), mostly derived from the 1988 book *An Almost Complete Collection of Lyrics, 1972-1988*, with more recent material (such as the complete *Gingerbread Man* CD-ROM script, and material from the game *Bad Day on the Midway*) supplied by The Cryptic Corporation.

The third section is a discography which is heavily derived from the 1993 book *Uncle Willie's Highly Opinionated Guide To The Residents*. The book closes with an essay by Peter Cap, "Czech (Sub)Culture in the Resident-Resistant Environment", which explores the group's impact on the Czech music scene.

I'm Bound To Be Yours If You'll Be Mine

**I'm Bound To Be Yours If You'll Be Mine** is a title informally ascribed to two instrumental tracks by The Residents, which were hidden on the group's official website as MP3 files, as a Valentine's Day gift by the webmaster Big Brother; the tracks were only available on February 13th and 14th 2014 before being removed.

The two tracks (which apparently are little more than experiments by the group's lead composer Charles Bobuck) were shortly thereafter listed as an official Residents release on online music database Discogs, despite Big Brother (ostensibly) releasing them without the group's permission.

A little more than a week after the release of the two tracks, Big Brother posted a statement to the website clarifying that the tracks were not intended as an official Residents release, apologizing for "overstepping [his] authority", and promising not to release anything "not deemed official" on the website in future.

## An apology from Big Brother

On February 22nd 2014, the following was posted to The Residents' official website:

***A policy change for the BOG***

*I like to post some odd and curious bits of music on holidays, usually from the experiments of C Bobuck. I have never been given permission to take these liberties by Bobuck, Residents or Cryptic, but no one has said anything. Until now.*

*On Valentines Day some of you suggested that you expected a music link. Partly to make myself look cool, I found a couple of not particularly special tidbits and hid them via a link on the BOG. They were easy to find, but I made no announcement of their presence figuring it was be a here-today-and-gone-tomorrow situation.*

*I can be so naive. Now it is listed on discogs.com as a Residents release. It is not a Residents release, it is just me overstepping my authority. In the process I have forced The Residents to have a product they never knew existed. I cannot remove that mistake from discogs but I can make certain that it doesn’t happen again by no longer posting anything not deemed official.*

*I apologize to The Residents for misuse of their name and abuse of their trust.*

*Onward and upward. BigBrother*
