That video is insane.

ICKY FLIX is indispensable.

Residents for presidents.

I've had an unhealthy obsession with My Window ever since I saw them perform it live last year. I hum it everywhere uncontrollably.

Another great band associated with the Residents is this band MX-80 Sound. They're slow and monotonous, it honestly sounds like Low sometimes but it's fused with some of the weirdest lyrics and hooks (and ridiculous guitar lines that literally come out of NOWHERE) at times. Check them out, everyone.

isn't MX-80 Sound the band that covered the theme from "Halloween"?

This band is so brilliant. Their melodies always blow my mind, as does their production. What I really find interesting about this band is how none of their songs have a full drum sound. I mean, they've been doing this shit for, what, 30+ years now? And not a single song in their catalogue has drums that go beyond "ba dum ba dum ba dum" on a drum machine or electronic drum kit. Really interesting and inspiring, because you don't even notice it for the most part unless you're paying attention. It makes all their songs really distinct. Their constant insistence on playing "wrong" notes all the time is quite awesome, they have to be one of the most musical (and musically complex) bands ever to just sound so off and wrong all the time.

One of my favorite bands in the world! I got a chance to see them on the Shadowland tour. They had Molly Harvey come up and sing The Making Of A Soul as a duet with Randy. It was beautiful!!
My favorite albums are
