Maurice and Me is a Tumblr blog by Randy Rose, lead singer of The Residents. The blog was active between February 2012 and January 2019, and often featured historical anecdotes about Rose's history with The Residents, as well as further context about Rose himself and projects including the video series In My Room and the Wonder of Weird live tour.
Hey Everybody! It’s me Randy! We are on tour again, this time in the good ol’ USA and WE ARE MAJOR KICKING BUTT! Tonight we’re in Seattle which is up around Canada or someplace - cool poster, huh? And… We’re also touring with the movie, Theory of Obscurity - ABOUT US! WOOOOHOOO!!!
Hey Everybody! We did it! We survived the demonic drive from Vancouver to Minneapolis which meant two and a half days of NOTHING BUT MONTANA AND NORTH DAKOTA!!! And is a photo of Hein Fokker, Residents’ tour manager SUPREME in Buttfuck, Montana, to prove it!
Het Everybody! It’s the bass drum I play on CONSTANTINOPLE! This is backstage at the Crofoot Ballroom in Pontiac, Michigan, wherever that is, which someone said was close to Detroit, wherever that is. Anyway… Kickbutt show in Chicago last night, going for it again tonight in Pontiac! WOOOHOOO!
Hey Randy! I just got your Bigfoot single and then on the Ebay ordered an older one from when you were a really young dude! You know, the one about Miss Bikini. I don’t think it’ll get here before the show in Minneapolis at the Cedar. I wanted to try to get you to sign it for me. Maybe I can print out a color copy of the cover and then put it with the single when I get it.
Hey Sky! Whoa, dude! That is an OLD ONE! I had practically forgotten about it. MAJOR SCORE, MY MAN! Miss Bikini is okay, but personally I always went Limbo Queen, the B Side. Thanks!
Hey Everybody! It’s us in Montreal last night. The bus broke down on the way to the gig and we still did a MAJOR BOSS show. KICKING BUTT ALL THE WAY!… and stuff!
