The Residents get my vote for being the strangest music group in history.
There might be other bands that are extremely bizarre, but none that have been making music – a term some would debate – as long, or as consistently bizarro, as The Residents.
If you’re not familiar with The Residents, they are an American conceptual music project that is made up of four anonymous artists. They are best known for their iconic image, of creatures with giant eyeballs for heads.
Over their careers, they’ve released dozens of wildly experimental albums, films, CD-ROMs & DVDs.
Eyesore: A Stab At The Residents was a 1996 tribute album to the group. It’s out of print now, but WFMU has MP3s of the album on its site.

What happens when you combine age-old contrapuntul style with Gameboys?
One possibility is Joey Mariano’s Gameboy Madrigals:
Early composers of the madrigal used only two to three voices to create counterpoint. Realizing the opportunity for reinterpretation through the gameboy sound chip, Joey Mariano set out to create a body of chiptune madrigals inspired by early RPG games, Japanese folk melodies, and masters of the madrigal such as Francesco Landini. A definite departure from his traditional approaches, Animal Style’s Gameboy Madrigals release strives to create a mood relying on melody and counterpoint instead of an ever-present, never-ending, bleed-your-ears-dry dance beat.
Gameboy Madrigals is a free album download. Read more…
