@CC: Happy Friday! I'm sure there's a Corona song title somewhere!

Hi to paparay. Sorry I missed Mesopotamia. Just the other day I told someone I'd meet them by the third pyramid.
  9:48pm
Keith:

B-52's and Byrne/Eno; hitting my aged sweet spot. Good stuff
  9:49pm
paparay:

@Woo: Thanks for riding New York Underground. You can always revisit!
  9:49pm
Dean:

Checking in randomly here. I *love* the Residents' Hank, and the only David Byrne or Eno stuff I like is from Bush. (Otherwise, they're overrated.)

We don't need a song about the pandemic. We need Milton or Spenser to tackle this one.
  9:50pm
paparay:

@Keith: Thanks! More sweet stuff for the sweet spots!
  9:52pm
Cousin Ben:

I heard the residents song at Ground Zero in Cambridge, MA
  9:53pm
Woo:

The B-52's are one of the greatest. They even inspired Lennon to get back to work when he heard Rock Lobster and its Yoko influence.
  9:54pm
sugarwolf:

I first heard that Residents song on the 2 Many DJs compilation.
  9:55pm
paparay:

@Woo: I was in a documentary w/ Fred Schneider called Dare To Be Different. Met him a few times. One of a kind.
  9:56pm

@sugarwolf: First time I heard I was like what????
  9:57pm

I bought that Residents album when it arrived on the market. Still got it. Great album.

  10:01pm
paparay:

@Dean: Perhaps you know the identity of The Residents???
  10:02pm
Marie:

Hey, I love this Spacer tune. I def. heard that Residents song on the dance floor. Also, as I was listening tonight, I kept thinking you were going to segue into Michael Jackson's Billie Jean...
  10:02pm
Dean:

I once asked them at a show if they were music faculty at Cal. Pretty sure I was way off the mark.
  10:04pm
paparay:

@Dean: It's rumored that they're famous. I wonder if they're DEVO incognito? Some fans know but won't say!
  10:05pm
Dean:

More likely Klaatu or Guru Guru.
  10:07pm
paparay:

@Dean: Perhaps....
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:12pm
Scott Williams:

Billie Jean is indeed sampled heavily on Kaw-Liga! the Residents' identities have been public knowledge for awhile - they're not famous. They are the guys pretending to be their Cryptic Corp spokesmen. Only one of them is still active. R.I.P. Hardy Fox

Here's what I did when the radio music wasn't "great" and the voices weren't friendly: I tuned into AM and listened to the evangelical programs. They didn't care about selling records. Mid-'80s, likely?
  10:22pm

@Jason from Houston: Will find some more Cristina in upcoming shows.
