Another video from iamamiwhoami was posted today. Many of the people following this viral series, myself included, believed the 6th video would be the final reveal. We were wrong. What we have gotten from this video is music that sounds pretty different from the ambient music featured in the earlier videos, 'iam' spelled in blood, 'Welcome' spelled out in sticks and the mysterious woman saying 'Why'. Oh, and a monkey drawing. Which totally makes sense.
With all the build up this better lead to something AMAZING. However, I'm keeping my hopes down because I'm feeling more and more like this is gonna be someone I've never heard of. 
One commenter on the YouTube page mentions that the stains in the snow are similar to the above photo that The Golden Filter posted on their Tumblr yesterday. Interesting, but the music in this video doesn't sound anything like what The Golden Filter have done so far in their career and the photo doesn't really match either. I'm saying that's a coincidence.
But really, I still have no idea. Do you?
I am....
We're getting close...I can feel it.
A new video from iamamiwhoami was posted this morning! I'll admit, I'm getting a little bit frustrated with iamamiwhoami because they keep stringing us along, but it's too late to stop now. If you read the youtube comments people are still convinced it's Xtina, other non-music followers believe it's The Knife, we've got some Robyns + Royksopp in the mix, and even a Lykke Li. I, for one, am convinced now more than ever that I have no idea.
The "clues" aren't helping me, they just make everything more witchy and confusing. HOWEVER, look at the nose at :47 and then google a picture of Christina Aguilera's profile. Pretty similar. The profile plus the busted grill might turn me back into a Christina believer. But really, who knows.
Watch and discuss.
You still think it's Christina?
Mysterious YouTube user iamamiwhoami posted another video today. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty confident after watching it the artist behind the campaign is NOT Christina Aguilera. I mean, they're practically giving it away in this one...but I don't recognize the woman in the video! But who knows...maybe the woman in the video is just a guest vocalist or simply a model.
Give it a watch, take a guess and enjoy my dark and darker horse candidate The Golden Filter's new single Hide Me.

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
Goldfrapp? Xtina?
Allison Goldfrapp released the cover artwork for the new Goldfrapp album Head First on her blog yesterday. That would normally not be very newsworthy, but with all the speculation that the creepy viral videos floating around on the interwebs are teasers for her new album, this image may disprove the theory.
If you haven't seen the videos, they are dark and seemingly high budget clips featuring sexually aggressive tree licking, owls, lots of mud and sort of animal birthing something. Obviously that imagery seems to contrast with the pink and blue-Allison Goldfrapp's head in the clouds look on the album cover.
