The Talk of Creatures

The Punkrocktopus Theory Vol. 1

"This Dyin' Dog artcile is so buck wild it feels like some Residents ARG like The Bunny Boy.
This was posted yesterday on Tumblr with the credit going to a  Paul Lyllyde, if you google that name, this article is the ONLY page that contains that name.
There is however a track called L.Y.L.L.Y.D.E. off of Snakeboy by KILLDOZER.
Which looking it up apparently stands for "Live your life like you don't exist"
If I had to make a quick theory right at this moment, the Blues Songs will be released under the name of Dyin' Dog as that character's original recordings and then the Residents' album released as The Residents will follow shortly thereafter.
That thumbnail at the top of the page isn't even the Dyin' Dog 45 the article talks about, it's a band called The Kings of Nuthin'. Why is that image posted in an unrelated article?
It also mentions the book "The Cambridge Guide to Blues and Gospel, Nothing But the Blues" which as far as Google is concerned doesn't exist. "Nothing but the blues : the music and the musicians (New York : Abbeville Press, 1993), a book edited by Lawrence Cohn"
Scratch that previous mention that he was name-checking books that don't exist.
" In a brief series of correspondence dated early 1975, a young musician named Roland Sheehan sang the praises of a wild new blues singer he was working with. The description sounded decidedly like Dyin’ Dog, though the name Sheehan used was “Alvin Snow.”"

Part Two
It was June, 1970. Roland Sheehan, then nineteen, had been the organ player in The Alliance, the teenage band Fox had managed back in Louisiana. Having just completed his second year at Louisiana Tech, Sheehan had signed up for a summer course at San Francisco State College.
(etc)

I spent that entire first afternoon turning over rocks and just googling various phrases and came away empty-handed unfortunately.
I'm kind of waiting for more news out of the Residents' camp before going back on the hunt."

I don’t know if they’re connected beyond the usage of both ‘dyin’ and ‘dog’
