my favorite youtube 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 she’s 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.

I’m convinced that this YouTuber based in London is the most criminally underrated artist of our generation.
She is able to capture what it’s 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 cameras— a nice Sony and an old camcorder— and I love how that creates a multi-textured visual style. Her editing style is superb, lots of fade-in’s and superimposed images. Her needle drops honestly rival Scorsese’s, and her monologues/prose remind me at times of Kerouac and others Babitz.
Sometimes she includes cheeky little skits that verge on magical realism. They’re hilarious, while also walking the line between absurdity and Truth.
i haven’t 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 hers— but highly recommend diving deep into her other works.

I absolutely love her stuff! Her fast paced poetic videos force me to be attentive and if I allow myself to be distracted, I feel lost. Absolutely insane stuff. The words and phrases she uses are so cool! And every few months she posts, it's like a refreshing slap to the face because she ends up saying what we wish to hear.

Is a database of everything in the public domain, any format you can think of: videos, digital books, audio files, software files, etc., all available in any type of file you knew existed, and others you didn’t. It is a useful tool for finding archival video footage, any sort of audiobook you want to listen to, commercials aired on Cartoon Network in 2006, or incriminating documents on your enemies. Sometimes, when all my free trials of streaming services run out I spend the final lazy hours of my day browsing archive.org finding all sorts of esoterica like: Horses 2 (Wide Screen), The care and training of your pet rock [digital book], and Virtual Women 95 [computer program].

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 × 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). 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 × Cow, including actual GIFs of one of the species fornicating with the other.

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
