my favorite youtubeĀ personality, makes incredibly insightful and charming videos about beach boys songs. She'll recreate or analyze entire songs and focus on specifics of different songs/eras of the beach boys. She focuses in on what interests me about the Brian Wilson, both the technical and emotional

she has a very specific sense of humor that is just so endlessly funny and she is so candid and real w her audience that it really feels like sheās your best friend and her videos are just her facetiming you at 3am. along w her funny videos she also occasionally drops really informative, philosophical videos mostly about art history that i find super interesting.

Iām convinced that this YouTuber based in London is the most criminally underrated artist of our generation.
She is able to capture what itās like to be in your 20s in a big city, just trying your best to connect to your creativity while also doing all the little things you have to do.
She uses mainly two different camerasā a nice Sony and an old camcorderā and I love how that creates a multi-textured visual style. Her editing style is superb, lots of fade-inās and superimposed images. Her needle drops honestly rival Scorseseās, and her monologues/prose remind me at times of Kerouac and others Babitz.
Sometimes she includes cheeky little skits that verge on magical realism. Theyāre hilarious, while also walking the line between absurdity and Truth.
i havenāt been able to find her on social media, but I follow her Spotify because her playlists are insanely good.
Linking the video I discovered of hersā but highly recommend diving deep into her other works.

We read the most disgusting Colleen Hoover Book so you donāt have to : they literally read it all the way through while making funny commentary. So far, itās like four videos For different books of the same author.
Wrapping gifts using no tape with Rajiv Surendra: I recommend his channel in general because heās so calming to watch. He has a clear vision about this channel and executes it so elegantly.
The Juno Effect: the teen pregnancy panic: discusses the interesting phenomenon of pregnancy panic that was frequent in the 2010ās primarily. I looove Mila Tequila.
The Last Bronycon: a fandom autopsy: pretty self-explanatory.
Disney Channelās Theme: a History Mystery: they unveil who made the famous early 2000ās Disney channel theme song. So engaging.
I watched every āThe Fault In Our Starsā ripoff: Caleb hilariously evaluates the problem with romanticizing diseases through movies. The comments in this one are funny as well.
Good teeth are a luxury only the rich can afford: title is self-explanatory. What made it so compelling to me, is the fact that she shared her own experience while growing up poor and not being able to afford to have nice teeth, which rooted what she was saying to her own reality. I feel like it doesnāt happen as much with people who do video essays anymore, but I found it touching.

brilliant Geography songs with great production. British Isles, Former USSR, Eastern Europe, and Middle East are all highlights of the 34 track album but the true gem to me is Southeast Asia

Was a Bizarre tennis superstar from the 70s and 80s. His tennis playing was graceless but amazing, he moved like an action figure, rarely came up to the net yet hit every ball spinless, low, and from the back of court, which doesnāt make much sense because topspin makes your hits more reliably land in play from a distance. He used a Wilson T2000 which was the first widely-distributed non-wooden racket, made of heavy stainless steel that most other tennis players refused to use, even when it was new in 1967. He continued to use it until 1987, missing out on of millions of dollars of racket sponsorship deals. He was distinguished for being widely unliked by tennis audiences and commentators. His Wikipedia article includes how he would put his racket in between his legs when he disagreed with a call and waddle around the court, then would āyank on the handle in a grotesque manner,ā which the crowd hated.

Is another website I love, created and maintained by an eccentric and apparently isolated pseudo-scientist named Eugene M. McCarthy. It features a confusing and unnavigable index of pages all providing recorded instances of trans-species hybrids: Cat x RabbitAxis Deer Ć TahrAss x ZebraPig x Human (for some reason McCarthy finds this particular hybrid to be the most credible and irrefutable account of a human hybrid, but its clearly just a deformed piglet).Ā Poking around macroevolution.net and finding all sorts of disturbing and compressed images of these creatures that offend the natural order combined with the fragmented, disorganized site design gives you an acute uneasy sensation of disgust. Many of the pages back up dubious hybrid accounts with only ancient drawings McCarthy found, others have more credible evidence like photographs, and may go as far as, such as on Dog Ć Cow, including actual GIFs of one of the species fornicating with the other.
