March 1: Iamamiwhoami Speaks, Likes Strawberries
It seems the answer is nearly upon us. About twenty minutes ago, I received an e-mail with the latest IAMAMIWHOAMI viral video, titled "23.5.12.3.15.13.5-8.15.13.5.3383." Using the number-to-letter conversion, it means "W.E.L.C.O.M.E-H.O.M.E.3383." Again, the final number ("3383") could be…
Interview with...Little Boots!

February 22: Another Day, Another Iamamiwhoami
Here we go--it's a new Iamamiwhoami video tucked away in my inbox this morning. The title, "15.6.6.9.3.9.14.1.18.21.13.56155" translates to "O.F.F.I.C.I.N.A.R.U.M.V." The last number is a little fuzzy though...you could add that up in a bunch of different ways. With a quick Google, "officinarum"…

February 10: Iamamiwhoami Returns with New Video
Blast it! I was all set to give up on this IAMAMIWHOAMI nonsense, and now they've gone and uploaded another video. This one, entitled "13.1.14.4.18.1.7.15.18.1.1110," features a whole lot of screen time for the tree-licking mud woman, as well as more lyrics (are there lyrics?) than ever before. By…
Iamamiwhoami: Is the 'Dirrty' Girl Truly the One Under All that Mud?
I know, I know...I'm a mess, and you probably stopped caring about three posts ago. Whatever. I'm still on the prowl for answers! In light of more than a few coincidences regarding the viral videos that have been e-mailed to me over the past few weeks, I am now back to believing that this may in…
Iamamiwhoami Strikes Back
The mystery viral video artist iamamiwhoami has returned with a new video entitled "9.20.19.13.5.723378." My guess has been revised: I now believe the artist in question is The Golden Filter after having received this e-mail from David of A Crowd Electric: brad, i seriously think it might be this…
Iamamiwhoami: Case (Maybe) Closed...is it Goldfrapp?
A-HA! It looks like this case is all but closed. Thanks to the super sleuths at ONTD, it's just about 100% confirmed that the viral videos are coming from none other than Goldfrapp. Why? The account's user photo is titled "dreaming.jpg." The background is titled "i_wanna_life.jpg." From…
