I donāt play as many video games as Iād like to these days, but I absolutely adore the deep dive gamer-documentaries that Nick Robinson makes on Youtube. He does these insane vlog meets documentary meets investigative journalism meets internet archivist videos that sometimes explore games I have no knowledge about whatsoever but theyāre so freaking high production and entertaining. He has like 3 videos dedicated to the discontinued Dominoās Pizza app that ran in Japan and featured an augmented reality Hatsune Miku function that I adore. We met him when we were in Texas earlier this year and heās very chill. His videos bring niche lore to the masses and leave with you a sense of contentment and resolve. The future of journalism and documentaries is in Youtubers like Nick Robinson.

You too need both 6 hour deep dives into Japanese dating sim games only to end up wait forever for new videos. Personal, deep, mechanical, what a filmmaker.

I wasnāt allowed to watch Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, or Disney Channel as a kid, so I watched a lot of Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, and History Channel instead. YouTube video essays have filled that media niche for me in my adult life. I recently found Torās channel and heās quickly become a favorite source of video essays. His content explores internet rabbit holes, historical curios, and his own special interests, and he provides excellent insight and analysis. Heās a self-proclaimed āslut for nuanceā and I appreciate his perspectives a lot. His videos are very old-YouTube (think the early seasons ofĀ Good Mythical Morning) and are basically video podcasts. If you want some wholesome, clickbait-free, low production but well researched long form videos, go like and subscribe and hit the bell icon.Ā

šæBeing a DJ is one of the coolest things you can do in 2022. Iād like to live in a world where everyone DJs during lunch break, after work, before bed. The anime series āD4DJ: First Mixā is an idyllic example of such a place. When you meet someone new and youāre talking about music and you say āthis one hits when I spin it at the clubā or āI have a really cool remix of that on my USBā, your hotness increases so much. My first DJ set was in high school at Utopia Studios in St. Louis, Missouri and I played so much festival dubstep to a crowd of unknowing prep school kids. Since then itās been much more of the same.

š§The mysterious online entity known only as āDJ Wallh4xā released this project on Club Cringe back in 2021. Every moment scratches every fold of your brain. Although the samples on the album range from cute video game references to church hymn vibes, thereās an undeniable evilness in every track. I listened to the whole album in the shower the other morning and had such a glorious day after. Favorite tracks āBMORA CLUBā, āBuy Modeā, āCrazy Handā.

šøSpaghett = Miller High Life with Aperol and lemon juice, perfect beverage to sip at Rebeccaās while Christian shows us his favorite folk punk bands. I canāt tell you how many soul crushing anti-folk and twee shit Iāve heard with one of these beverages in my hand. Sometimes weāll even hit the CDJs at Rebeccaās on a Monday night fueled by Spaghetts. Iām scheming on a full breakcore remix of the entire album āBuilding Nothing Out of Somethingā by Modest Mouse and debuting it there.
