Official News BOG, September 2006

The Residents' Official News BOG was a news blog maintained by Big Brother of The Cryptic Corporation beginning in August 2003 (originally titled The Residents' Official News Blog and Website Wrapper), following the company's purchase of the residents.com domain name from fan site RZWeb (now defunct).
Around March 2004, this blog became known as the Official News BOG. In this form, the blog became The Cryptics' (and thus, The Residents') main outlet for communication with their fans until the website's redesign in 2008.
This page collects posts made to this news blog in September 2006, as archived on archive.org, transcribed to this wiki by a Mysterious Spanish Lady.

=== Yet another error on a Residents package ===
:[broken image: BLU%2dmmistakeweb.jpg]
:Best Left Unspoken.... tracks 13 and 14 are reversed on the CD from the order listed on the package. Daydream is 13 and Dream Wheel is 14. Do I see a "dream" pattern? Is it really an error?
