Efni Lestarinnar í dag: Jóel Pálsson saxófónleikari gefur á morgun út plötuna Dagar koma en hún inniheldur lög sem samin voru við ljóð nokkurra íslenskra samtímaskálda. Jóel heldur ásamt fríðu föruneyti útgáfutónleika í Norræna húsinu á morgun, og hann verður gestur Lestarinnar í dag. Fyrr í vikunni var rætt í Lestinni við liðskonur rappsveitarinnar CYBER, þær Sölku Vals og Jóhönnu Rakel, um nýja plötu sveitarinnar. Fleira var rætt sem ekki komst fyrir í þeim þætti. Og í dag heyra hlustendur brot úr spjallinu; rætt var um skáldaðar persónur og sjálf, væntingar og Instagram-kúltúr samtímans. Karl Ólafur Hallbjörnsson fjallar í heimspekipistli í dag um verufræðilega skilgreiningu listaverka, áru þeirra og fjöldaframleiðslu. Og hlustendur kynnast bandaríska myndlistarhópnum og hljómsveitinni The Residents, og forsprakka hennar, tónlistarmanninum Hardy Fox. Umsjón: Anna Gyða Sigurgísladóttir og Eiríkur Guðmundsson

This week, we're going into the start of the 1980's with one of my favorite albums and concepts of all time with The Commercial Album. This is the only record that is made up of commercial jingles and Top 40 songs along with one of the best uses of radio advertisement I've ever heard of!

After close to ten years of experimenting with the ideas of sound and what music can be, the Residents step into the world of acoustic soundscapes and challenge how a story can ultimately be told with their 1979 release, Eskimo.

Speeding Motorcycle...won't you change me? What an intro. We start today with a chance collaboration between Daniel Johnston and Yo La Tengo on the finest free-form radio station in North America (BLASST doesn't count of course), WFMU! Today's episode also pays tribute to Hardy Fox, founder and primary composer behind the enigmatic titans of art-brut, parody, and experimentation--The Residents, who recently announced (personally) that he is living his last few days on this planet. A mammoth of a career summarized into three songs...(five if you heard the live broadcast). Tune in for a good time.

This week: Richard and guest host Charles King speak with Hardy Fox, from the Cryptic Corporation who acts as the agent of The Residents. The Residents is an American art collective best known for avant-garde music and multimedia works. The first official release under the name of "The Residents" was in 1972, and the group has since released over sixty albums, numerous music videos and short films, three CD-ROM projects, ten DVDs. They have undertaken seven major world tours and scored multiple films. Pioneers in exploring the potential of CD-ROM and similar technologies, The Residents have won several awards for their multimedia projects. Ralph Records, a record label focusing on avant garde music, was started by The Residents. Throughout the group's existence, the individual members have ostensibly attempted to operate under anonymity, preferring instead to have attention focused on their art output. Much outside speculation and rumor has focused on this aspect of the group. In public, the group appears silent and costumed, often wearing eyeball helmets, top hats and tuxedos - a long-lasting costume now recognized as their signature iconography. Their albums generally fall into two categories: deconstructions of Western popular music, or complex conceptual pieces, composed around a theme, theory or plot. They are noted for surrealistic lyrics and sound, and disregard for conventional music composition.
