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

El Ralpho Archives going public
- As part of the overall 35th anniversary festivities, a series of new releases is set to start rolling out from the El Ralpho Archives. El Ralpho refers to the Residents first studio, probably named for the Sun Ra record label, El Saturn. It contains everything the Residents have ever recorded.
- Though many people believe the archive is full of wondrous creations that the world has never heard, anyone who know The Cryptic Corporation knows that organization is not one to pass up releasing any worthwhile material. Most of the music found in the archives has been released, but some of it only in limited forms.
- The first new CDs coming out of the archive is three volumes of rare instrumentals called "BEST LEFT UNSPOKEN..." Volume one, due in late August, is centered on the large work, Pollex Christi, but includes six unreleased tracks as well to round out an hour of Residential instrumental music, none of which has been on major albums.
- More information about the releases, and others in the series, as it becomes available.
