Residents.com XML feed, December 2016
Between September 2014 and December 2016, The Residents' official website, Residents.com, posted news updates via an XML feed embedded on the website.
Although the vast majority of posts to this feed are not known to have been archived, a handful of posts from the last four months of the XML feed have been preserved in a "testing environment" version of News Machine, the news blog which would replace the XML feed (and the preceding BOG) in January 2017.
This page collects posts made to the XML news feed in December 2016, transcribed to this wiki by a Mysterious Spanish Lady from The Residents' official website.

Charles Bobuck: Missing Soldiers - The Favorite Songs Of Clara Barton | gg236
LIMITED TO 300 COPIES! BUY OR DIE!
First time on CD! Previously available as a download, this album is a compilation of MIDI arrangements that started out in 2001 as sketches for a proposed Residents album based on The American Civil War. The rather un-sexy project did not get encouragement from European partners because the war meant little outside of the United States and is most prominently a part of history in the deep South. The project was abandoned, but the sketches live on.
Track list:
- Overture
- The South
- The North
- Johnny
- The Lord
- Marching
- Romance
- Golden Slippers
- Valley
- Valley Waltz
- Susanna
- Polly Wolly
- Bonnie
- Sentiment
- Remembering
- Sadness
- Go Tell It
