Breath and Length

A-side label of Meet The Residents

"**Breath and Length**" (alternatively "**Breadth and Length**") is a song by The Residents, part of the medley on side one of their debut album *Meet The Residents*, released April 1st 1974 on Ralph Records.

## History

"Breath and Length" was recorded between February and October 1973. It is the first track on *Meet The Residents* to feature a guest musician: Ruth Essex, who performs the song's lead vocals. The song is notable for being nearly identical in both its mono and stereo mixes.

A demo version of the track, also featuring Ruth on lead vocals, was released on the 2018 *Meet The Residents* pREServed edition.

The song is not featured in the 2014 Charles Bobuck *Meet The Residents* cover EP, *Clank Clank Clank*.

Black Barry (EP)

***Black Barry*** is a download-only single by The Residents, recorded live in San Francisco in 1989 on the group's Cube-E tour, and released on the group's Robot Selling Device on April 21st 2012.

## History

The Residents' 1989 performance tour Cube-E: The History of American Music featured three distinct sections - *Buckaroo Blues*, *Black Barry*, and *The Baby King*. *The Baby King* was recorded by the group in the studio and released as *The King & Eye* in 1989, and *Buckaroo Blues* saw release as part of a compilation release by the group's fan club UWEB shortly thereafter. Despite this, the middle section had never been recorded in the studio.

With this in mind, the group released a recording of the *Black Barry* suite in April 2012 as a standalone feature on their online Robot Selling Device. This online release featured a remastered recording of the complete piece from an early San Francisco Cube-E show in 1989.

Bob Tangney

**Bob** (or **Bobby**) **Tangney** was an early collaborator of The Residents, appearing on their 1974 debut album *Meet The Residents* as well as the demo tape *The W\*\*\*\*\* B\*\*\* Album.*

## History

Bob Tangney was born in the early 1950s, and met the future members of The Residents in 1971, shortly after he would have graduated from high school. He was introduced to the group by his brother, and worked with the group on *The W\*\*\*\*\* B\*\*\*. Album*, composing the track "Oh God You're a Pie in the Sky".

Tangney was a core member of the group's musical line up at this time, and was credited as such on the 2013 compilation *The Delta Nudes' Greatest Hiss*. He was the youngest of all of the Pre-Residents' collaborators, being six or seven years younger than Hardy Fox.

Tangney continued to work with the group up until the recording of their debut album *Meet The Residents*, on which he plays bass guitar on the song "Infant Tango". After this, he "fell in with the wrong crowd", and was "lost to drugs". He later cleaned himself up, and re-located to the California foothills, but has not been in contact with The Residents in decades.

Alvin Snow, aka Dyin' Dog (box set)

***The Residents Present Alvin Snow, aka Dyin' Dog*** is a limited edition box set of five 7" singles, featuring demo recordings by Dyin' Dog and the Mongrels, an obscure and short-lived Louisiana blues group featuring singer Alvin "Dyin' Dog" Snow and guitarist Roland Sheehan. It was released September 28th 2019 on Psychofon Records.

The box set was a precursor to The Residents' Dyin' Dog cover album, *Metal, Meat & Bone*, which was released in July 2020. The vinyl and CD editions of the album both include the nine demo tracks featured in the box set (and one additional track) on a bonus disc.

## History

The demo recordings featured on *The Residents Present Alvin Snow, aka Dyin' Dog* were recorded in the mid-1970s in Louisiana by Dyin' Dog and the Mongrels, a short-lived blues band featuring singer Alvin "Dyin' Dog" Snow and guitarist (and early collaborator with the group who would later become The Residents) Roland Sheehan.

Dyin' Dog and the Mongrels recorded ten demo tracks which would remain largely unheard as Snow ultimately disappeared completely following a series of personal tragedies, ending the band and resulting in the demo tracks being left shelved.

Sheehan rediscovered these tracks around 2018 and showed them to his former collaborators The Residents. The Residents had long considered the idea of recording a "blues album" but had never found a concept strong enough to support the idea. After hearing the Dyin' Dog demo tapes, they decided to record an album of interpretations of these tracks. This album, *Metal, Meat & Bone*, was released in July 2020 on Cherry Red/MVD.

## Release

*Alvin Snow, aka Dyin' Dog* is a limited edition vinyl-only release, printed by Psychofon Records in three vinyl color variants (black, white and multi-colored), in a total of 350 copies.

Aside from the five singles (one of which features a blank side) the 10" box also contains 13 reproduced Polaroid photos of Dyin' Dog from around the time when the recordings featured on the set were made.

The Dyin' Dog demos were made more widely available in July 2020 with the CD and vinyl editions of The Residents' *Metal, Meat & Bone*, both of which feature the complete set of demos on a bonus disc, including an additional track, "Dead Weight", which was not included in the box set.

#### Bobuck's Black Tar

I saw a yellow bag.

The bag was carried by the artist, Dali, as he strolled through the streets of Barcelona singing songs he could hear coming from passing car radios. As he neared, he paused and handed me the bag asking, “Are you my angel of death?” And with that he squelched up his face as though he had just bitten into a lemon.
“You do not look like my angel. My angel would wear a shroud made of rugs with blue fringe.”

With that he he took the yellow bag from me and looked deeply into my eyes.
I said, “It is Hallow’s Eve and I am wearing a costume.”
He smiled with eyes appreciating my sneakiness and shoved the bag back into my arms.
I opened it once he was out of sight. It was filled with music that had the odor of sticky black tar.

I now pass the bag to you.

Are you my angel of death?

Betty's Body

Still from a 2002 Live Performance

***Betty's Body (Also titled 'Anybody But Betty', 'Betty', 'Day 10', or 'Leaping and Lords')*** is a song written & recorded by *The Residents* for their 2002 album "*Demons Dance Alone*"

## Background

The song is told from the perspective of man obsessively in love with a woman named Betty, a woman he cannot ever be with, due to his mother, and the events of her death.

Betty's Body was the first song from Demons Dance Alone to be released, appearing on the compilation album '*Petting Zoo*' along with *Wolverines*.

It was performed live by the group from 2002 to 2003 as part of the Demons Dance Alone Live tour, after the overture, it is the first song performed in the show.

In 2003 The Residents re-recorded Betty's Body for inclusion on the internet event turned album '*The 12 Days of Brumalia*', it is track 10, titled '*Leaping and Lords*'

The 2003 version is spoken word, and features a new intro, and a more minimalist instrumental.

The song was performed live in 2005 as part of *the Way We Were* tour of Australia. This version, also features a new spoken word intro, seguing out of Life Would Be Wonderful. This live version also features a frantic spoken word outro, in which the singer yells about teeth, and how his mother gave him an obsession with teeth.

The song was performed again from 2014 to 2016 as part of the Shadowland, in a version mostly faithful to the original.

Following his departure from the group, *Chalres Bobbuck* released his cover of the song on his Residents tribue album '*Bobuck Plays The Residents*'

Classic Vinyl Series Box Set

**The Residents' Classic Vinyl Series Box Set** is a limited edition wooden box set containing first pressings of the first ten studio albums by The Residents, which was sold via PledgeMusic as a pledge reward for *I Am A Resident!* campaign contributors who pledged $2500 USD. The campaign was first announced in September 2017, and ten of the box sets were made available exclusively via the PledgeMusic page.

The front of the box featured an intricate, hand-burned design by woodburning artist Dustin Edwards. The group released a video on YouTube showing fast-motion footage of Edwards creating one of the boxes on October 20th 2017.

At least two of the *Classic Vinyl Series* boxes were purchased, and were shipped to contributors at the end of the campaign, likely around May 2018. Contributors who purchased the boxes also received an AccessPass and the chance to submit a cover of a Residents song for use on the *I Am A Resident!* album.

Boo Who?

Fingerprince Side A label art, 1977

**"Boo Who?"** is a song by The Residents, featured on their 1977 album *Fingerprince*.

## History

The track originates from a much longer piece dating from February 29th 1976 entitled "Leapmus" (though featuring greatly different lyrics and vocals by Hardy Fox), the existence of which first became known to fans with the 2018 release of the pREServed 2-disc edition of *Fingerprince*.

"Boo Who?" was one of the most-covered songs for the *I Am A Resident!* project in 2018, and thus features prominently on the both final releases, with versions by Cult With No Name and Uni included the two-disc editions, and a version by Lucas Marti being featured on the LP edition.

## Lyrics

```
Now there just is a cow
Where once was a calf
Now there just is a stare
Where once was a laugh

```

```
Now there just is a cow
Where once was a calf
Now there just is a stare
Where once was a laugh

```

```
A smile would make believe
That it had a friend
And tomorrow's name
Once never would end

```

25 Minus Minutes

***25 Minus Minutes*** is a mini-album by Hardy Fox, recorded a week before his death in October 2018, and released posthumously on February 14th 2019 on Klanggalerie.

It is the fifth instalment in the TOOK series of limited edition releases, and the first posthumous release of material by Fox. It was followed in 2020 by *Killing Time*.

## History

Recorded by Hardy Fox only one week prior to his death from brain cancer on October 30th 2018, *25 Minus Minutes* was among several unreleased recordings given to Walter Robotka of Klanggalerie prior to Fox's passing.

*25 Minus Minutes* is described in the Klanggalerie press release as "the most personal music ever created, a kind of diary, a stream of consciousness with fractured parts, with emotional and contextual shifts and most intimate comments".

The piece of music at the end of the suite was featured as a standalone track on the next posthumous Fox release, *Killing Time*, under the title "Traveling Music".

## Cover art

   The album cover features a photo of Hardy Fox as a young boy. This photo was one of several pictures of Fox as a child which were given to him by his sister Diane after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and published on his official website shortly thereafter.

A variant of the cover art which is simply a cropped version of the photo accompanied the original announcement, but was changed for the final release to a variant with the young Fox superimposed on another image with his name printed vertically to the right.

Cankered Lightness

**"Cankered Lightness"** is a single by The Darkening Scale, which was self-released in 2007 as a CD-R with no accompanying artwork. The single might not have been an actual commercial release, and may in fact contain an unfinished mix not intended to be heard by the wider public.

The song was later released on the 2010 album *Hydrogen Kaleidoscope*; it is not known currently if the album version differs from the version featured on the (now very rare) CD-R single.

Anganok Instrumental

***Anganok Insturmental*** is a single recorded by The Residents in 1991, and released in 2010.

## Background

The Anganok instrumental originated out of a spring 1990 Jam session held by The Residents, coming out of the same session that birthed *Benny The Bouncing Bump*. When sessions for Freak Show started the instrumental was quietly shelved until early 1991, when The Residents discovered a local artist and poet named Spoonman. Interested in each-others ideas, The Residents pulled out the unused instrumental, and got to work on expanding it, whilst Spoonman developed a spoken word story around it.

The instrumental would be played live by The Residents throughout their short run of performances with Spoonman in 1991. After these few performances, the Anganok project was abandoned, but the suite was not forgotten. A short excerpt from it, dubbed 'Willie's Theme', was used as the wraparound theme on their 1993 compilation album, Uncle Willie's Highly Opinionated Guide to The Residents. A longer excerpt from the piece was included in the 1997 box-set, Our Tired, Our Poor, Our Huddled Masses. A 13 minute excerpt was released digitally in 2009, before the full 21 minute piece was released on the Anganok CD album in 2020.
