Official News BOG, April 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 April 2006, as archived on archive.org, transcribed to this wiki by a Mysterious Spanish Lady.

:The Residents Release River Of Crime “CrimeCast” Series With Cordless Recordings, Starting June 13, 2006
:"Should this Bay Area band cease to create art, art should cease to exist."
:- Village Voice
:For over 30 years, The Residents have been musical innovators, visually aware and tech-savvy. In conjunction with Cordless Recordings, they will release the River of Crime series, starting May 30th, 2006. This upcoming project is another example of how The Residents push the creative envelope, reaching further into previously uncharted waters to break new ground.
:River of Crime is a horrifying, twisted, often hysterical account of a Residents’ friend who has somehow become convinced that crime, like a hacking cough or a ravenous tick, has somehow attached itself to him and now it's closing in for the kill. He says that, in the same way that some people are accident prone or lucky, he has become a crime magnet.
:The Residents have no idea if this is true or not, but they do know the guy needs help, if only to get his story out. By recording him and making it public, they thought it might be good for their friend - maybe even therapeutic.
:River Of Crime series starts with five episodes, with more in development and is told in the spirit of the “True Crime” radio broadcasts of days gone by, but with a whole new twist and macabre tone that only The Residents can create. Consumers can purchase each episode (14-18 minutes each) from popular online retailers (iTunes, Rhapsody, Napster, etc…), or by purchasing a special physical CD package to be sold through music retail stores, at cordless.com.
:Cordless is a new label working to improve and expand the creation and digital delivery of music entertainment. They thrive on the freedom of independent record making and love the challenge of connecting compelling artists to their audience through the medium of the Internet. Cordless is the newest member of the Warner Music Group (WMG) family, which includes Atlantic, Elektra, Lava, Maverick, Nonesuch, Reprise, Rhino, East West, Asylum, Sire, Warner Bros and others.
:When asked what it meant, having The Residents become the newest member of the Cordless family, Head of Marketing & Sales Howard Wulkan said “there is no greater honor than to work with pioneers in the music industry. Cordless is about pushing boundaries and The Residents make the perfect partners-in-crime.”
:River of Crime Release Dates:
:Episode one: The Kid Who Collected Crimes - June 13th
:Episode two: Gator Hater - June 27th
:Episode three: Misdelivered Mummy - July 11th
:Episode four: The Beards - July 27th

=== Say it isn't so ===
:
:Well, it isn't so.
:People started contacting me as soon as this went up INSTEAD of the Moles site. I was not given any warning (thanks Moles) but now I have been told that it is a sign of change not disappearing.
:We'll see what happens next, won't we.
