Record Store Day 2020[]
Friday, March 6 2020, 9:45am
Record Store Day this year falls on Saturday, April 18th June 20, 2020. And what to our wondering eyes should appear but a double LP of a full soundtrack premiere!
When the Icky Flix DVD was released in 2001, there was also a CD release that collected some, but not all, of the reimagined tracks. Those of us who were unable to attend a live performance and have also foolishly held on to our VHS tapes, refusing to give in to the new fangled DVD technology, have never had an opportunity to hear the full collection of new recordings. Well our time has finally come.

And I do want to point out that this is categorized as "RSD First" which means it can be re-released again in the future (similar to the W***** B*** Album and B.S. which were released on CD a few months ago). So if you don't succeed in beating the crowds, you'll miss out on the beautiful colored vinyl, but you can hold out hope that the music will be available some day in the future.

OH NO!!! ...but unfortunately - OH YES!!!
Yes, it's true The Residents are postponing their eagerly awaited DOG STAB! American tour! This was not a decision that came easily for the Cryptics or THE UNDEFINED FOUR but these are STRANGE TIMES and while The Residents easily embrace odd, sickness, especially the enabling of disease among their loyal fans is something else - MONDO UNCOOL! But for you lucky dudes and dudettes in Europe, nothing is changed. The Residents will be cooling their eyeballs in the old country in January and February of next year! Meanwhile, WASH YOUR HANDS... and stuff like that!

The God in 3 Persons EXTRAVAGANZAS at the World Renowned Museum of Modern Art have created a mighty buzz among the Faceless Four's Faithful Fans, while also creating a MONUMENTAL DEMAND for the boffo poster program created by the incomparable French artiste Stephan Blanquet. Up to now, preparation for the currently postponed American DOG STAB! tour has prevented us from purveying these exquisite jewels, but HEY!... things change, which is your good luck unless of course you get the VIRUS FROM HELL!!!
In addition, the highly regarded independent publisher ANTIBOOK CLUB is re-releasing a paperback edition of The Residents' Bad Day on the Midway novel. Just like the original hard bound edition, the paperback version will also include the CD, Bad Day Reconsidered.
