Bunny Boy

With The Bunny Boy, The Residents have created another off beat pop gem. A sonic roller coaster in the style of Duck Stab, The Commercial Album and Demons Dance Alone, the album features 19 fast paced songs. Obsession, insanity and the coming Apocalypse have never sounded better.The Bunny Boy’s release was accompanied by a world tour and a narrative internet series.

Limited to 2000 copies to be sold on The Bunny Boy tour: 1000 for the US tour, 1000 for the European tour.

The CD is a companion piece to The Bunny Boy album and comes in a gatefold double-CD digipack, except contains only one CD. The empty space for a CD is intended for the Bunny Boy disc. There is also a pocket for a CD booklet. This is intended for the Bunny Boy booklet.

The music is primarily instrumental, recorded on analogue equipment, and is what can be heard accompanying the Bunny Boy video series.
In typically mis-informative Residents style, the CD appears to be released on a label called 'Santa Dog Records' with no mention anywhere on the release of Ralph America.
Similarly, the catalogue number RA 28 does not appear anywhere on the release. However, sources say this is actually a typo rather than deliberate mis-information.

What it is: “The Bunny Boy” originally was an internet series that ran from September 2008-April 2009. This DVD collects, edits, and organizes the series into a kind of unique movie experience.

Why it is: The internet series was designed to be watched over time, three a week. This time element is no longer a part of the experience so the story needed to be streamlined and archived in full widescreen glory so people who missed the series could appreciate the plight of poor Roger and the search for his missing brother.

Why you should care: If you followed the series you will enjoy having this DVD in your collection. If you missed it then you MUST have it in your collection. The series is edited and streamlined so it is not exactly the same as the internet version.
