VARIOUS ARTISTS - EYESORE: A STAB AT THE RESIDENTS (1996)

The Residents are one of those "either you get it or you don't" bands, kind of like Devo or Gwar. Ever the zany San Francisco pranksters, they actually followed up their goofy concepts and subtle inside jokes with really GREAT MUSIC, creepy, catchy little jams that could drive you crazy if you listened too closely. Here's a compilation featuring a whole shitload of weird Bay Area bands paying tribute to the masters, playing a bunch of weird instruments and fucking liberally with the concept of the "cover song". Enjoy!
