Mark of the Mole

Mark of the Mole is an album by the Residents, released in 1981. It was meant to be the first album in a tetralogy detailing the conflicts between the Moles (a subterranean society whose gods offer salvation through hard labor) and the Chubs (a vapid, hedonistic culture). The work and its follow-up album, The Tunes of Two Cities, became the basis for the Residents' first international tour, the Mole Show. Penn Jillette, who appeared as MC of the Mole Show, has an uncredited appearance as a weatherman on "Voices of the Air."
