Analysis

Jim & Tammy Faye Bakker in VHS footage (2026-04-08)

American televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker with her husband Jim Bakker. They were prominent figures in the 1980s, building the religious television empire known as "The PTL Club" (Praise the Lord). The couple's public image and empire collapsed following scandals related to financial fraud and sexual misconduct in 1987. ^[2]

Spreadsheet for VHS Observations (2026-04-09)

This sheet segregates every frame into "scenes", which is anytime the visual changes substantially (whether its 1 frame or 100 frames). Descriptions are kept as objective and abstract as possible unless we can reasonably confirm whats being shown. Notes are reflexive first impressions. Origin will ideally be urls of source material. Shoutout to the person here who zipped every frame into jpegs.^[3]

Pictures

Possible official Promo - NTSC/PAL Cassette Tapes with Black Matte paper casing. 7 Hexagons screened in white on top of VHS tape with white NTSC/PAL sticker. No other markings.^[4] It should be noted that on the mailing label, Ochre, in the sender's name, Ochre Logistics Limited, is a type of orange coloring. Orange is a well-known color reference in Boards of Canada's discography. However, Ochre is also the name of the platform Bleep runs on, and it is likely the tapes come from Bleep. It has been speculated that the 2025 BoC merch on Bleep was used to collect the postal addresses of the best people to send the tapes to.
