Altra ottima notizia per gli appassionati dei Residents è la ripubblicazione di GOD O: Music for a Gallery Opening, l'album solista - il suo primo - del compianto Hardy Fox (1945-2018) contenente le musiche da lui create per l'inaugurazione di una mostra di opere dell'amico/collega Homer Flynn, diffuse in due riprese nel 2012 utilizzando lo pseudonimo Charles Bobuck. Walter Robotka, titolare della viennese Klanggalerie, ne ha meritoriamente prodotto una versione in due cd arricchita di inediti e rielaborazioni di altri brani targati Bobuck solo in parte già noti, God Damn Chickens e Gosh Darn Chickens.

GOD-O: Music for a Gallery Opening (later reissued as GOD O: Music for a Gallery Opening) is the first solo album by Charles Bobuck, long-time keyboardist and composer for The Residents, featuring a forty minute suite recorded in 2011 for the opening night of an exhibition of artwork by Homer Flynn at Johansson Projects in Oakland, California. It was released via The Residents' online music platform Robot Selling Device on March 14th 2012, and later as an expanded CD release by The Cryptic Corporation. On May 20th 2025, GOD O was reissued by Klanggalerie in a deluxe two CD package featuring a previously unheard thirty minute version of God Damn Chickens, as well as reworked versions of the songs which had previously been released on the 2012 digital EP Gosh Darn Chickens.
