iamamiwhoami

A couple of days back a new video was posted to the iamamiwhoami youtube account. Since we posted last time I think everyone has pretty much ruled out Goldfrapp as an option. Rocket doesn't fit the sound of the clips and the Head First album cover couldn't be more different from the look in the viral videos.



Although Christina Aguilera's publicist denied iamamiwhoami has anything to do with her, everyone still seems to be convinced she's behind it. Given the fact that the blond woman crawling through mud could easily be Xtina and that everyone knows she's worked with Ladytron and Goldfrapp, it doesn't seem too far off. BUT...Christina's first single from Bionic is set to be a song called Glam which is supposedly "a poppy, hip-hop inflected throwback to Madonna's Vogue." ???????? HOWEVER...if you get real nerdy on it and decode the numbers as letters and use the dots as spaces it spells out "I T S M E BIONIC". I love viral mysteries!

Let's just imagine for a second though that it's not Christina Aguilera. The internets are speculating alternatives such as NIN, MGMT, Lady Gags, Bjork, The Knife, Fever Ray and Aphex Twin, just to name of few. But what if it were someone less obvious like The Golden Filter? Mysterious, blond, nice looking videos, new record coming soon, the cover for the record matches the imagery....just a thought.

Here are some songs and videos to keep you thinking. We'll keep you updated when iamamiwhoami posts more!




Ladytron - Ghosts


The Golden Filter - Thunderbird

  2. Maybe we could all marry each other? I mean, gay people are already ruining society with our attempts to marry and political agendas...so we might as well branch into polygamy?

  3. hmm, i dunno. the woman looks much like xtina and the videos look very professional and expensive, indicating that this is an established artist rather than a lesser known band. also, those sound snippets could be easily just an intro, outro, or whatever, not the actual songs. i say xtina.

  4. wolf,

    I agree with you about the production values and ultimately think it probably is Christina...all i'm saying is, I wouldn't be surprised if it were The Golden Filter. Have you seen the videos Moop Jaw have made for them? They're pretty much on par with the viral clips. Also-The Golden Filter have just as much, if not more, access to the blogs that first received the videos.
