Lowkey have learned shitloads from this channel. It took me a while to get used to this guys grating YouTube announcer type voice and dad jokes but now I find it incredibly soothing. I am 100% a sucker for a cheesy youtube history video, museum, anything like that. Weird History is my go-to on tour, before bed, etc. Also they have another channel called Weird History Food which is very informative and entertaining. If i didn’t make it as a musician I would totally be producing content like this for a living. It rocks.

Weird guy making even weirder videos at a rate of about 3 a year, caters specifically to my particular brand of bizarre humour, the video I've linked is one of my faves just because of how fantastic the awkwardness is between the two of them. Criminally underrated channel, I'm a big proponent of slow content.

Ant Lab - cool close up & slow motion videos of bugs, & something abt the guy’s mannerisms is just ridiculously endearing
Biblaridion - really into linguistics & makes conlangs (cool), but i really love the alien biosphere series!!! it’s a speculative evolution project where he’s just creating a whole world from scratch
Cor Canish - makes a bunch of stuff abt Elder Scrolls, really really fun & editing is remarkable
Featureman - a lovely old man makes cheap but (probably) yummy food & talks to u 4 a while. he’s really funny
League of Pigs - lots of happy & well loved pigs race for the championship (to the food trough)
Myron Cook - another lovely old man, does geological investigations into bizarre rock structures. equally good for learning or falling asleep
Steve Wallis - another lovely (oldish, not really) man, makes stealth camping videos. total cutie

Irish hard shoe dancing is one of the most metal, hardcore things I have ever witnessed or attempted to do in my life. The shoes are also called “heavy shoes” which is fire. The sound is very satisfying to me in an ASMR way. I’m obsessed with the stoicism that accompanies the dance, specifically the way the arms are held completely straight at your sides. I highly recommend taking an Irish dance class (they have in most cities). It is an insane cardio workout (very sweaty) and extremely enjoyable. I want to see people doing it at my shows.

It’s been really fun not being on social media that much recently. Especially when working on new music, I’ve found it super helpful to unplug for long periods of time. As cliche as it is, sometime last year I finally started understanding what people meant by the wave of anxiety and decrease in self worth that hits you when you open an app like instagram. It’s nice to check in and see what my friends are doing, but I’ve really tried to cut off that feeling of needing to stay constantly ‘up to date’ with everything going on all the time. Same goes for news. For the first time since college really i’ve started trying to read books again lmao. I know this one seems kind of basic, but for anyone feeling like they’re needing some encouragement to feel like it’s okay to unplug, go for it.

As a musician, you would think I listen to a lot of music very often, but I actually do not. I find that i’m incredibly sensitive to music, like emotionally sensitive and also very easily distracted by it so it’s difficult for me to have music on in the background because i start listening too closely and thinking about the lyrics, instruments, melodies, etc. too much haha. This album is my most played album since like 2014. It’s the only thing I can listen to regardless of whatever mood i’m in (especially if i am in a bad mood) and helps me channel the darkness into something good. I guess Electric Wizard could be described as “stoner metal.” All of their music is extremely slow, dark, sludgey, repetitive. The riffs bend in very evil yet very soothing sounding ways that I find quite comforting! Historically, I don’t smoke weed but I feel like this music gives me the positive psychosomatic effects of weed without the paranoia. Their album “Dopethrone” also fucks hard and has a sick cover lol.
