Vimeo Killed the Radio Star

Sep 12, 2024

Too right.

In 1979, Buggles, an oversized sunglasses-wearing English band, wrote a prescient and catchy-as-all-get-out earworm called “Video Killed the Radio Star.” It was no accident that when MTV debuted just after midnight on August 1, 1981, Video Killed the Radio Star was the first broadcasted song.

Fast forward to November 2004, and December 2005 when Vimeo and YouTube, respectively, came online, eclipsing in 60 days, according to one published manuscript, “the amount of content… that would have been broadcasted for 60 years, without interruption, by NBC, CBS and ABC altogether.” Figueiredo et al. (2011)

To this ocean of content, we have decided to add our own semi-constant trickle in the light of the fact that YouTube and Vimeo, respectively, score 5 billion and 100 million video views EVERY SINGLE DAY, which boggles or, should we say, Buggles, the mind, to say the least.

Watch EpicentRx’s YouTube videos called “A is for AdAPT,” “The Four Horsemen,” and “Mayhem.” Several other all-original videos that also feature small molecule RRx-001 (nibrozetone) are in the queue to be uploaded on YouTube and Vimeo. These include some “no fluff” elevator pitches that introduce RRx-001 and AdAPT-001 to potential partners.

Muzak is included.
