If you scroll down, you will notice that this week’s edition of The Funday Sunnies is up a couple of days early. This is owing to the fact that Sparky and I will be taking a well-deserved holiday away from the Fortress of Funitude, in honour of the upcoming Residents’ Day weekend.
No, sharp-eyed readers, there is not a letter missing. On the third Monday of February, the citizens of Funsville take a break from their daily cares and strife to celebrate the life, work, and music of The Residents, the seminal avant-garde art-rock collective.
And no, don't ask me why. Nobody here really knows, either. It always makes things hectic here in Funsville, coming as it does hot on the heels of the annual Ray Manzarek's Birthday celebrations.
It’s a wild time…you’d never think that there were so many people who played the Fender Rhodes keyboard bass, or that they could descend on one town so quickly. The streets of Funsville are still littered with the debris from the Soft Parade, so before the mayor of the notorious Animal Alley district comes calling for us with a push broom and shovel, we thought it best to beat a strategic retreat, and hit the road with La Famille deCousins for Parts Known.
We’ll be stopping in with composer and all-around Renaissance man Alex Eddington, who is currently hard at work setting the municipal parking code of the City of Toronto to music for orchestra, 97-piece mixed choir, and a quartet of soloists on citation booklets. If not, he now has something to respond to in his own blog. It’s all in the interest of keeping Cyberspace active and cheerful.
And, with that in mind, here, in all its glory, is a link to the latest episode of Science Boy versus Professor Proteus. Like the rest of today’s disinformation, it has a musical theme…as well as possibly the worst music-based pun you will ever be exposed to. Click on the blue letters and see what happens…but don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Uncle Fun
