If you want really interesting and entertaining video essays by a guy who does a lot of research, Super Eyepatch Wolf is the person for the job. His essays are so good that I will watch them on rainy days when I'm feeling like watching something nostalgic. Most of his essays are about anime, video games, and television.

in no particular order
-a place for owls - a denver based indie/emo band with gorgeous writing and lush instrumentation
-LL by The Hellp - the most important electronic/pop album of the 2020s, this album more than justifies their self-mythologizing of the past decade
-Mk.Gee - he's finally getting his flowers thank god but there is nothing else that sounds like two star out there
-Tigers Blood by Waxahatchee - Waxahatchee with MJ Lenderman executive production what more do you need
-Aaron West & the Roaring Twenties - conceptual side project of the lead singer of emo cornerstone The Wonder Years, he plays/writes the character of Aaron West across three beautiful alt country albums
