Earth and eye - Such a hidden gem on YouTube. most of these Reccs might turn into unknown YouTube vlogs because I am obsessed with YouTube talks lmao. I love how I feel like I’m learning alongside with this diva and she always has this way of framing life in the most gentle and embodied way
Or like any Youtuber with <1000 subs who posts multiple times a day... also love Spend Less Money Mama... give me ur recs of the people who randomly show up on your YT homepage with <500 views just talking about whatever I sincerely love a lofi rambler
i actually really love the ted-ed vids, they're pretty educational and the designs are always great. A few other favorites of mine are aperture, fern, and hoog.
1. BRENDAWARENESS: really cool and good for the fashion girlies. it is a smaller podcast channel by "Hashtag Brenda", she is big in fashion (she literally spent her birthday with Rick Owens). I call her my digital big sister.

2. COLORLESS WONDERLAND: kinda booktube but for not horny people. he used to be a middle school teacher and he has very cool takes and analysis. he hasn't posted actively in a while but he's just overall really good vibes.
https://www.youtube.com/@colorlesswonderland 3. PROFOUND PONDERING: this random guy who speaks very candidly about his mental health and is quite relaxing to listen to.
https://www.youtube.com/@profoundpondering8575 4. WENDIGOON: does deep research on some really cool topics; everything from the bible to analogue horror, to chris mc candless. he is just really interesting to listen to, nd is def for the hyperfixation community
https://www.youtube.com/@Wendigoon 5. FRANK WATKINSON: an old man who does very cute covers of songs which make me cry everytime. he also has original songs. he's been on youtube for like 10 years at least and loves sufjan stevens.

6. KERWIN FROST: this may be a bit rogue but he was my fav person when i was like 13 in 2018 and was like super into tyler the creator. Kerwin is a really cool DJ and his interviews are so fun to watch. he doesn't post much now but he has done interviews with young lean and dev hynes which rlly impacted me when i was younger and revisit from time to time
https://www.youtube.com/@KerwinFrostTV 7. MYTHICAL KITCHEN (LAST MEAL): might just be my favourite series on the internet everrrr. a very talented chef called Josh hosts celebrity guests and chefs make their "death row meal". they've had guests like Karamo from queer eye, steve-o and tom hanks.
https://www.youtube.com/@mythicalkitchen 8. BOOK CLUB RADIO: a dj collective in brooklyn, insane sets (personal favs: dj nico and varist)
https://www.youtube.com/@bookclubradio 9. ARCHITECTUAL DIGEST (OPEN DOOR + SPACE SAVERS): i love looking at rich peoples houses, so cool. open house is a series where they go to celebrity houses, obvs so fun to watch. space savers is a series where 3 different architects get given a space and they get to draft whatever they want, the results are so cool! (darren jett is so cool)
https://www.youtube.com/@Archdigest i hope you enjoyed the list mwahhh xoxoxox
When I was in hours and hours of practice for tour rehearsals by myself , I would watch Mariam and feel so deeply inspired (and she just has the most poetic editing style). She reminded me of that feeling of being a teenager and having all the time in the world to practice; and that ravenous need to learn more about every inch of music . I think I want to spend the latter half of my music life back to being in study - maybe at a conservatory or with an ustad; thank you Mariam for reminding me
this music video had me in a chokehold when it would air on zeeTV in my grandma’s bedroom in 2004. they are just so recklessly hot 😭 i think whenever im feeling into youthful body and more like a baddie than a light orb, this is the exact energy im tryna embody
