The Residents Blog, October 2009

The Residents' Blog 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, then The Residents' Official News BOG and later Official News Blog).
The BOG became the Cryptics' (and thus, The Residents') main outlet for communication with their fans until the website's redesign early in this month. At this point (at least according to the website's header after the redesign) the blog was simply called The Residents Blog.
This page collects posts made to this news blog in July 2009, as archived on archive.org, transcribed to this wiki by a Mysterious Spanish Lady.

:An RSD Halloween treat.
:Scare small children. Irritate everyone else.
:Hades arrives as a new download on October 15.
:Hades was part of the music conceived as an aural art piece to accompany the release party of The Residents toy figures recently designed by Steve Cerio. The original music was conceived to utilize two DVD players that were programmed to randomly play abstract bits of music. They would play 5.1 surround audio and each would play different things. The project (which required 12 speakers placed in a circle around the gallery) was entitled Chaos is not just a theory.
:As these kinds of things go, it never quite worked out. The gallery never agreed to provide the sound system and some people felt it would be unpleasant for attending guests (correct) so by the time the toy release actually happened (there were several lengthy delays) The Residents had lost interest and had moved into other projects which did not allow them to even attend the toy release opening.
:However, Homer Flynn, Leigh Barbier, and Steve Cerio did attend and showed non-Residents art work. The cover art above is from the work shown by Mr. Flynn.
:Hades was adapted by The Residents from part of the music written for Chaos is not just a theory especially for this release.
