A went through a couple a few weeks ago. There is for me a kind of heavy feeling over them, like wow they really do this all day every day and it looks like a lot of work. But I also find them very harmonious.

I was moved by these two:

Dave's World of Fun Stuff is a blast. Other than being 4 beers into his evening here he can do a decent facsimile of my Father in spots. I wish I'd learned how to do this work!

Haburu, a cat who sleeps on a piano while his people play

You Suck at Cooking - quasi-serious recipes

Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't - botany punk that goes to places and talks about the plants there, all while maintaining the aura of "extremely Jersey Italian guy who's been inside"

Ken's Death Metal Crypt - some reviews but also just a lot of straight uploads of old death metal cassettes

Knob Feel - WYSIWYG, just tongue in cheek reviews of knobs based on how they feel

This Exists - no longer active, but still a great backlog of medium-length videos about extreme niche internet phenomena

One of my favourites must be AudioPilz, or the "Bad Gear" guy. Reviews of synthesizers with a bad reputation. Turns out that almost any piece of equipment has an army of haters. Consistent quality + hilarious.

Really love the NHK documentaries. I have deep travel lust every time I watch them.

I don't know if I've ever watched one video more than once on youtube, but this one is one of my all-time favorites. RILY Jiro Dreams of Sushi - it's not on that level but you'll get the vibe. [Note some sort of restriction doesn't seem to allow me to post the share link, hopefully the click above works]

At risk of ruining something before I can experience it, this one on the Nakasendo stirred me as well. I felt a lot of melancholy (borderline sadness) while watching like I am currently stuck somewhere I don't belong.

my fav channel is PaperBird. it's part of "booktube" i guess, but every video quickly transitions from a book review into some lynchian work of art

Oh yay! New video posted from the EA channel.

Should've called John Dwyer..

That stinger fuzz is pretty great. It would be hard not playing American Woman thru it.

I can't find U2 poll, so I'm putting it here - this rig rundown with The Edge's tech Dallas Schoo is a joy to watch, his enthusiasm is remarkable.

I love Mend It Mark - his fault finding / troubleshooting skills are incredible, and he seems to get happier the more difficult the problem is.
