The Residents - "Angry Angakok"
With enough NyQuil in my system to take down a small horse, there's no better time than now to bring up the fact that legendary band The Residents will be in New York one week from today at Webster Hall (February 9th).
For anyone unfamiliar with The Residents, your perception of music will change forever once you hear The Residents. They define the words avant-garde, and anytime you ever think you're hearing something totally innovative you can probably look back into The Residents extensive catalog and hear them doing it 20 years earlier. They were Animal Collective more than 20 years earlier, and their costumes were far more interesting than Lady Gaga's.
