Jed’s Other Poem (Beautiful Ground) Music Video
stewdio.org Official music video for Grandaddy’s song “Jed’s Other Poem (Beautiful Ground).” Jeddy-3, a humanoid robot built from spare parts, is a recurring character in Grandaddy’s 2000 album “The Sophtware Slump.” According to Grandaddy, before Jed’s system crashed he wrote poems. Poems for no one. I programmed this entirely in Applesoft BASIC on a vintage 1979 Apple ][+ with 48K of RAM — a computer so old it has no hard drive, mouse up/down arrow keys, and only types in capitals. First open-source music video, code available on website. Cinematography by Jeff Bernier.

This is a great vid, Stewart. In fact this vid is what introduced me to Grandaddy a couple of years ago.
