The Residents: Freak Show Special Edition

Update: The Resident's announced they will be removing the Timmy series from UTube soon to make way for the Bunny series (more live dates have been added as well). For mac users, I've had good results with TubeTV.

The Residents enter another phase and this time it's using the cd format for multi-media. Both Freak Show and Bad Day on the Midway (which I don't have) contained interactive content, like a game, allowing those that bought the physical cd to interact with the characters. So just downloading the mp3's is missing half the content. I don't know if the cd's will still work with vista, but I've heard the mac version is still operational. 

This version is the special edition released to mark The Resident's 30th anniversary which included tracks from the live show. The animation was done by the late Jim Ludtke, creating another reason for owning the cd. 

"The Residents returned from the tour of Cube E feeling confused. Their self-exhibition as a dark and strange deformity of American culture had cast a shadow over their identity. They were a freak show. -- from The Resident's blog
