Some virtual communities explicitly refer to the concept of cyberspace, for example Linden Lab calling their customers " Residents " of Second Life, while all such communities can be positioned " in cyberspace " for explanatory and comparative purposes ( as did Sterling in The Hacker Crackdown, followed by many journalists ), integrating the metaphor into a wider cyber-culture.

Babyfingers was a release by the avant garde / experimental rock band The Residents, containing music written for their 1977 album, Fingerprince.

Bill met The Residents at their Sycamore St. studio in the summer of 1973 with the news of his broadcasts.

They were overjoyed that they had finally got media acceptance and he was celebrated with the news that KBOO was the first station to play a Residents record on the air.

He promoted these along with Meet the Residents regularly on his radio program.

KBOO DJ, Barry Schwam ( Schwump, who also recorded with The Residents ) promoted them on his program as well.

During this period The Residents were conspicuously less prolific than they previously had been, with only an outtakes compilation Residue of the Residents, a collaborative album with Ralph labelmates Renaldo and the Loaf and a brief edited version of Vileness Fats with a newly recorded soundtrack being the only major releases from this period.

William Poundstone, author of the Big Secrets books, compared voiceprints of a Flynn lecture with those of spoken word segments from the Residents discography in his book Biggest Secrets.

Simon Reynolds wrote in his book Rip It Up and Start Again: Post Punk 1978 – 1984 that " The Residents and their ' representatives ' were one and the same ", elaborating on one of his blogs that " this was something that anybody who had any direct dealings with Ralph figured out sooner rather than later.
