Crimes And Misdemeanors
Looks intriguing (but beware, every time I try to navigate away from the first link it freezes my PC):
For over 30 years, The Residents have been musical innovators, visually aware and tech-savvy. In conjunction with Cordless Recordings, they will release the River of Crime series, starting May 30th, 2006. This upcoming project is another example of how The Residents push the creative envelope, reaching further into previously uncharted waters to break new ground.
River of Crime is a horrifying, twisted, often hysterical account of a Residents’ friend who has somehow become convinced that crime, like a hacking cough or a ravenous tick, has somehow attached itself to him and now it's closing in for the kill. He says that, in the same way that some people are accident prone or lucky, he has become a crime magnet.
The Residents have no idea if this is true or not, but they do know the guy needs help, if only to get his story out. By recording him and making it public, they thought it might be good for their friend - maybe even therapeutic.
River Of Crime series starts with five episodes, with more in development and is told in the spirit of the “True Crime” radio broadcasts of days gone by, but with a whole new twist and macabre tone that only The Residents can create. Consumers can purchase each episode (14-18 minutes each) from popular online retailers (iTunes, Rhapsody, Napster, etc…), or by purchasing a special physical CD package to be sold through music retail stores, at cordless.com.*
