TRACKS:

Intro/Somethin' Devilish
In 1971 The Residents made what can only be described as a terrorist attack on a small club in downtown San Francisco. The band (with Snakefinger and N. Senada) invaded the club unannounced and pulled off a 20 minute surprise performance that has become legendary in the mythology of pranks. This tape has just been rediscovered and is planned to be included in its entirety on the upcoming Daydream B-Liver.

Teddy Bear
The Residents appearance on NBC's Night Music attracted more calls and mail than any other artist that has ever been on the show. Needless to say, not all of it in a positive vein. However, the concluding shots of The Residents dancing with Conway Twitty while David Sanborn wails on his saxophone achieves high awards for surrealism on television. This is also scheduled for Daydream B-Liver.

Why Didn't I Think of That? (The History of Digital Music Part 3---early midi)
Part One and Two appeared on Liver Music. Part Three is from its upcoming sequel -- Daydream B-Liver. The story goes that the band, (under an assumed identity), demonstrated the evolution of digital music for a junior-high school class by creating four pieces of music. This Third part also became the theme music for the TV show that never took off, "Why Didn't I Think of That?"

New Orleans
This jam on a section of Black Barry from Cube-E show just sort of happened. That is sound man Tony Janssen sitting in on drums.

Lament
The Residents wrote a series of pieces to honour Snakefinger following his death. Lament is one of the pieces performed at Snakefinger's wake, the Snakey Wake.

Die in Terror / Eva's Warning
One of the most requested release ideas from UWEB members has been the complete 13th Anniversary Show -- Live in the USA. This project will finally see light in 1991, and will be a completely new EQ'ed and spiffy realization from the original tapes. This is one example of what to expect.

Suzanna
This clever arrangement of Oh Suzanna was at one time to be part of Buckaroo Blues suite. It was kicked out because it didn't fit anywhere.
Land of 1000 Dances / Double Shot
Rock `n' Roll is just in their blood. This tweaky twelve minute studio track gets into an erratic groove due to strange drum machine programming. This is one of the real treasures from the Buckaroo Blues CD.

Mr Skull's New Year's Eve Song
This is a studio version of the tune that Mr. Skull played to welcome in the new decade. Imagine the stage all bare except for Ole Black Skull himself grumpily pounding out this cheery message for the 90's. This too is part of the much mentioned Daydream B-Liver.

This is a Man's World
This studio recording of the Man's World live arrangement became the big alternative hit single in Australia, (where it was recorded), a few years ago. It appears on the first Liver CD, Liver Music.



A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR: Perhaps there is nothing more remarkable to note than the fact that the live opening track, "Something Devilish", and the live second track, "Teddy Bear", while similar in mood and style, are separated time-wise by over eighteen years, and by an observing audience difference of over 18 million people, thanks to the mighty power of television.

In the eighteen year span that all of these songs were recorded, The Residents have revealed themselves to be more to contend with than most expected. The flood of critically acclaimed albums, videos, and performances is truly unmatched by any artistic group in America. These projects only tell part of a very complex story behind the anonymous band. This is where Uncle Willie steps in.

While UWEB (Uncle Willie's Eyeball Buddies) shares many concepts with the traditional "fan club", the difference is that UWEB produces a series of compact discs by The Residents that delve into their world of experimentation through studio and live recordings. For example, when The Residents stepped onstage at Lincoln Center in New York in July of 1989 to perform "Buckaroo Blues" from the CUBE-E Show for the first time, UWEB members had been listening to the "Buckaroo Blues" CD for almost six months. As of this writing in July of 1990, "Buckaroo Blues" has still not appeared on any commercial release.

This LP is intended to share with the public some of the material that UWEB has released, or plans to release to members in the coming year. This is not an act of artistic mercy for you mis-led open-eared voyagers. I sincerely hope you will be encouraged to join me and other good people in this most unique experiment: UNCLE WILLIE'S EYEBALL BUDDIES.
