Early Penn - 2006/06/27 19:15
I was browsing the web last night, and came across this interview. It mentions a little project Penn was involved in back in 1982: the Ralph Records 10th Anniversary Radio Special. Penn was hired by Ralph Records to sit alone in a motel room for six days and play records that were delivered to him each morning, then record his impressions on tape.
The results of the experiment have been edited down to a little over an hour, and can be listened to here (click where it says "Play Full Tape"). He sounds so different, I wouldn't have recognized it as Penn (neither would his wife, according to the interview)! Really interesting to hear how his voice and style of speaking has changed over the years.
It seems this was Penn's first taste of The Residents  
Listen as he starts out disliking, but grows to love (and apparently pimp  ) this and other artists of the label.
