Well, it's the end of the month, so it's a look at one of your suggestions again. Today, we're taking wirelessfiction8638's suggestion of 'Duck Stab!' by The Residents. What a fun and delightful album this is. This album straddles the line between creepy and off putting, constrasted with accessible and just downright fun. I genuinely think this might be one of the most entertaining albums I've heard in my many years of reviewing music. Very funny, but also, it just sounds really good! There's a lot of footage of old cartoons scattered throughout this video. One in particular is an old cartoon I used to watch in my childhood, recorded off the television onto VHS. I don't think there's prizes for guessing which cartoon in particular it is. Have a go though!
