Thanks Amanda, and the team ^___^
Amanda and Drew,
Saturday January 07, 2006 I’m Amanda Congdon and this is Rocketboom…
Nah, I can wait. That song is now stuck in my head. Thanks!
And bring on the C.E.S coverage!
I’ve blown my ego from saying it,

With all the genius behind this exhibition we’re reduced to pathetic YMCK game music. If game music is the wave of the future America is dumbing down at an exponential rate that’s faster than Superman’s speeding bullet.
Y = yuck
M= muck
C= (not allowed to say)
K= (also not allowed to say)
Whazzup RocketbOOms?
Enjoy the CES aka the gadget show! And YMCK S U C K!! They sound like old Chinese porn music! Well, that could be good…meanwhile on the other side of the world…I liked the intro of today’s show…ya made me fell like I was at the Intel booth at the “Gadgets” show! Thanks Amanda and whomsoever this Drew dude is! Until I see Drew…I don’t believe! Ha-ha! Have a great weekend and Thanks for keeping us in suspense in your vlogging (is that a curse word?) of the CES convention! And Black 29…how many times must I tell you!!!
Best Regards,
Wayne Burrini
oh and PS B-Mann chill, I know were all mad & stuff that we barely saw AmAndA!!! But honestly ya made me laugh…do ya think American or humans for that matter are really that intelligent? I think you gives us too much credit!
Peace All!
Hmmmm. Annoying, soporific, yet as compelling as a 20 car pile up. I can’t decide if I like the music or not, but it certainly brings back memories of playing Phoenix in the ice cream parlor that was my first job back in the early ’80s.
Can’t wait for Monday!! :-)
Oh lord help me. I am having to download this at home on my dialup connection instead of the high speed connection at work. One hour and counting. The things I do to get my dose of rocketboom.
Isn’t it fun to expose people to other musical points of view? This was sort of computerized Swingle Singers with an old video game soundtrack as a backing. Just the fact that you guys have such a strong breadth of musical appreciation is one of the major benefits of tuning in. Keep it up.
Y.M.C.K. sound a little to me like Beck’s GameBoy variations…
Maybe Rocketboom can drive up and cover Mac World San Francisco too?
Rocketboom: Better late than never.
OMG! I just realized there’s a RSS feed on ur site. LOL.
Oh man, you know the taste of NyQuil is awful when you have to chase it with tequila to clear your palate.
Also, the latest edition of your vlog has continued the unabated trend where every fact I learn about the Japanese only confirms my vague theory that, relative to what I consider “normal”, they’re a little weird.
And finally, in the week or so that I’ve stumbled across this particular corridor of the web I’ve been quite entertained. Keep up the good work (and just so you don’t get the wrong idea, that’s not a congratulations so much as a threat).
That song was so painful…
I would have enjoyed a timeshare pitch video or an interview with the porn flyer handout people better.
If I was Japanese I would have fell on my sword!
Hold up…Amanda what are you covering in Vegas…The C.E.S. or are you there for the Adult Entertainment Expo??? If so ,can ya get an interview with Jesse Jayne???
Meanwhile 29 black…it will come up many times if you bet it!!!
ENJOY VEGAS!

Check out VIIV not LIVE cause VIIV’s alive but LIVE is not so live and I’m not sure it really works. Shorta like there dual corps is broken.
Their no there, I had it when I do that?
Amanda:
Hey guys and girls, thanks for bearing with us and not giving us too hard of a time for posting so late. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

I have learned that the later you guys are, the cooler the entry ultimately is. :-)
Amanda,
I’ve enjoyed your vblogs for months now and am always amazed at how informative, funny and entertaining rocketboom “usually” is. However, an entire episode of “y.m.c.k” was pathetic! PLEASE don’t ever waste time like that again!
Dear Amanda,
As much as I distain the annoying sounds of video games, I must admit that was a catchy piece of music, with a rather smoking solo impovization in the middle.
I hope your having fun.
By the way, if you see Elvis, wish him a happy birthday!
hi all i am kinda new here and wanna have fun! can i download them from here how can i? pls and thakns all
I love you casual Fridays! Excellent choice with ymck.
I remember being stationed in Japan and seeing an amazing new device, the CD. The Japanese ability to start new trend for good or ill is to be feared. Cute video.
That was awesome. Keep up the great work you guys.
Next time we should drop a bigger bomb. Oh! they beat us to it.
Interesting music. Although I would like to mention that the graphics are horrendous. What game was that from? Or did that group make it themselves?
It was good to see this videoclip, now I can understand your dancing 8-) :) 8-) ;) :O it was funny
I love Rocketboom and Amanda! I’m addicted to watching someone as talented as Amanda and can’t get enough of her brilliance. However, that YMCK Japanese “band” stuff you broadcast on Jan. 6 was just crap! Seriously, why would you show s ‘Hello Kitty’-like infantile lameness like that on your show? It’s not music, and the “video game” video is so cliche and puerile, it’s not worth wasting anyone’s time on! Other than that SMALL complaint, Rocketboom is the best thing on the Web. Keep going, Amanda!!!
ah, just as i am nearing the item on my to-do list “make 8bit music vlog”
jap crap
Have a nice Day!
Amanda Congdon, a gorgeous girl who is smart, funny and GETS CHIP MUSIC! I ask for another like her, if not her, in my life.
Totemo kawaii desu!!!!!!!
‘fraid not–for the music…But respect you’re putting it out there. Keep on being innovative!
earth to B-Man, game music is already widely popular among the geek crowd. there isn’t a serious gamer alive who isn’t moved by musical geniuses like nobuo uematsu or yasunori mitsuda.
if i were you, i’d be a bit more careful about being over opinionated over something with a huge fanbase.
