Nevermind the bollocks here’s the Sex Pistols was my first bought cd ever, (im 16 now).
very nice song to :D
Beauty-full. You know what makes it beautiful? It’s full of beauty! :)
Loved the 1970’s “home movies”. Maybe Amanda can hop in her time traveling machine every so often and report from a different decade. Poodle Skirt Amanda, USO Entertainer Amanda, May Queen of Scotts Amanda….it’s endless I tell ‘ya !!!
Mary, not May..sorry
Rocketboom is TV for folks like me who have thrown TV out of the house. Lovely video. Be well, Amanda and crew.
That video was pretty awesome. Well I gotta run off to work. Take care Rocketboom! See you on monday!
Gosh I miss LPs!
Hi, was it just me?
I got no sound from Amanda’s intro, and the dates was september 30,1979.
…ormai mi sono affezionato a scrivere qui…anche se non mi capisce nessuno…

Radio K.A.O.S. or what?
A dash of creativity to josel our thursday evening cobwebs and set us on a path of innovation today. Thanks for the wake up from all the wandering workers here on the West, Left and best (blahhahah) Coast.
Enjoyed the 8mm pr0n effect.
Nice video too.
Happy Friday.
…? Was the video supposed to be all silent at the beginning? & the music video was excellent. I love it!
TeraLink Was Here!
My heart swoons… it was written in BASIC! :D
That video was great - reminded me of Radiohead. Nice work!
Amanda, you are a star! will you be on The Daily Show in a few months? Everyone I show this to falls for you.
Casual Friday is a very intelligent video. I love the way you make “meta-videos”. I am actually trying to work on videos that reflect on the very nature of the video. If you want, you can watch some of them here. http://www.ilcannocchiale.it/blogs/style/writer/dettaglio.asp?id_blog=7703&id_blogrub=35104
Great work!
Just discovered this videoblog (through DTV) and am loving it! Very nice!!
What happened? Starts out with video but no audio then the video goes to black and the audio comes on.
Fantastisch!!!
brings back so many memories!!!
Well done RB…do you ever tire of hearing it? sorry but we can’t help ourselves, you are really quite entertaining and surprising, a true joy to experience…..
one question…i recently discovered RB and can’t get the earliest vlogs to play…any thoughts, anyone?
Gotta love to see a old Apple II used to such affect in a music video. Long live prodos, green text and basic.
I sure am a bit of a geek.
The sound isn’t coming through on the 9-30 issue for me. It starts up later in the clip. Earlier issues work OK.
Edgar Lives…
Needs more cello

TI99/4A (with speech synthesizer, woo!)
Rocketboom, I love you.
(and Amanda too. ^_^)
Interesting stuff.
Was it supposed to be silent at the begining, or were it just me?
You just don’t cease to amaze.
Love your creativity.
Thanks.
Um guys, who ask embarrassing self-evident questions - it was silent at the front as a throwback to the way home movies (Super 8, etc) used to be. Have you ever heard of retro?
This video makes me wonder if “Electric Dreams” will ever be released on DVD.
Cool Composition!
I wonder what’s the secret to these very creative ideas you guys have! Thumbs up to all of you!

rope a dope - thanks rocketboom!
oh and for those of you who couldn’t hear audio at the start, the date should’ve been a clue. listen carefully and you’ll hear the sound of a tape reel.
doesn’t anyone remember super8? doesn’t anyone remember wonder years?
ot > winnie’s a hottie
I’m just curious about what Amanda are saying.
Any lip readers out T H E R E ?
