24. Ralph Records: home of the Residents, Snakefinger, Renaldo and the Loaf...

MX-80 Sound, early Negativland (those guys who did the "Auto Hive" sketch in the Humongous)....weird-ass expirimental bizarro Zappa/Beefheart/John Cage-influenced avant-rock label active in the late-70's, early 80's. Acidheads of that era loved their music and graphics. Sort of post-psychedelic fellow travelers with the Punk movement.

Check out some of the Residents' album covers, like "Eskimo" or "Fingerprince" for examples of this kind of artwork.

It's amazing that you captured the feel of that aesthetic so well without ever having been exposed to it yourself, dude!
