Simon B. is a YouTube channel that posts a personal collection of emo, rock, and hardcore. Mostly from the 90s but it can span. His taste is very good and his recordings are high quality. I’ve found many bands over the years from his channel.
My childhood youtubers basically, which are radiojh audrey, gamerchad, dantdm, popularmmos (rewatching their old vids😢)
New ytber ive been watching recently though is Jaxson!! I loveee his album reactions esp his taylor ones and hes such a vibe‼️
Great for going down rabbit holes of music. You can find out what recording studio recorded a song, find the engineer of that recording studio, find that engineer's brothers who's in another band, find the guitarist of that band and they’ll be in an Australian electronic rock band from 1992 that rips. You might also find the worst song you've ever heard the same way.
Emailing is a language and once I learned it, it became fun. It's where big business comes in and if you do something you enjoy, emails are a time of excitement and opportunity.
I went to Build-A-Bear Workshop for the first time recently to get a wedding gift (the same wedding as China). I thought it was going to be uncomfortable going alone. It was an extremely inviting and pleasant experience. I got to pick out clothing, name, stuff, and make a voice recording for my bear. They make you kiss the heart of the bear in front of everyone in line which I didn't love.
