New "iamamiwhoami" Video Posted Today



Well folks, it's been 9 hours since this video landed on Youtube and I am still at just as much of a loss as when we started . If you're not familiar with the mystery Youtuber known simply as "iamamiwhoami", the idea is that these ominous, high-budget music video teasers have been intermittently posted since late 2009 and are obviously the work of an established artist. Right?! With the basic tenants of a good viral-marketing campaign put to use, the videos have garnered hundreds of thousands of views, fully equipped with theories and suggestions of their origins. So far the most popular name I see in the vid's comment portion is Christina Aguilera, despite the fact her camp denied its affiliation with the videos. Other big names are Goldfrapp, MGMT, the Knife/Fever Ray (which I'm leaning towards), and Lady Gaga among others.

Basically the only update here is that there's another enthralling tapestry of rustic, goth-surrealism paired up with some experimental electro for our viewing pleasure. Bastards.
