Great Unknowns
The mystery of The Residents isn't who they are — it's why.
by Shaun Brady
Even those who've never heard a single note of Residents music are aware of the iconic top-hatted eyeball heads and the fact that no one knows who's been making that twisted noise for more than 35 years.

Comedy CD Reviews
Mitch Hedberg & George Carlin
Hedberg knew the comedic value of profanity for his adult audiences, but a lot of the time his act had a charming, kid-like quality that was completely endearing: "It'd be cool if you lived with a monster. You'd never get the hiccups."

Hang The DJ:
Who Got the Chemistry?
Reel Chemistry: The Anthology
by J.F. Pirro
At 31 tracks, the compilation makes a strong case for Top Choice Clique as a great lost hip-hop collective, a kind of Naughty By Nature if Naughty By Nature weren't mostly terrible.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

by A.D. Amorosi
Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! is really Cave's best shot at snot-pop vitality in the 21st century, his way of showing that he can play the revved-up rock game without losing his French cuff shirt or his delirious literate texts.

The Upper Crust
Opening night of RRSC's fifth annual Revolution Scooter Rally, Fri., Oct. 3, 11 p.m., $15, J.C. Dobbs, 304 South St., myspace.com/jcdobbslive. The rally runs Oct. 3-5, rabblerousersc.org.
by A.D. Amorosi
What can be said is that the crotchety power pop quartet dress like colonial Whig mannequins in powdered wigs with high stockings, painted birthmarks and other turn of the (18th) century vestments.

Orchestra 2001
Fri., Oct. 3, 8 p.m., $27-$32, Kimmel Center, 300 S. Broad St. (also at Swarthmore College, Oct. 5), 215-893-1999, orchestra2001.org.
by Peter Burwasser
This concert will include the final installment of Crumb's American Songbook series, all premièred by O2001, with the composer's Broadway star daughter, Ann Crumb, as a soloist, along with Randall Scarlata, baritone.
