5 YouTube Channels You Should Be Watching In March

I was recently reminded of one of my old blog posts - my oldest YouTube favourites - and considering YouTube itself is only just over 10 years old, I'm always grateful that people have clung on to film/television/music clips and uploaded them for us to enjoy.  Also, as YouTube has developed, it has become a platform for anyone and everyone to be a broadcaster, or a film maker, or a musician, or... absolutely anything on camera.  Content is uploaded to YouTube at an alarming rate - 300 hours worth of content PER MINUTE, according to this great article which means the good, the bad and the downright awful is out there waiting for someone to enjoy.

I'm always on the lookout for new channels to subscribe to so I thought I'd start an occasional series that recommends different types of YouTube content for you to enjoy. I've selected one video from each channel to showcase as an example but these are channels that I really look forward to seeing appear in my subscription list over and over again. I've also tried not to be too obvious with my choices.

5 YouTube Channels You Should Be Watching In March

The Vlogger

If you're not already watching Casey Neistat then what the fuck are you doing with your precious online time? I've been watching Casey's videos for almost a year - probably since just after he started daily vlogging and just before he made the announcement about his social media platform, Beme (which STILL isn't available for Android. gggrrrrr) although I had seen a couple of his viral mini-films without realising they were made by him.  I don't #fangirl over a lot of people however Casey is just so engaging and innovative and does a lot of 'behind the scenes' stuff which just makes him more engaging and innovative.  Get watching NOW! 


The Music

Or rather... no music in this instance. I saw a #withoutmusic tweet scroll past in my Twitter timeline early last year but it was only last month that I found out that I'd caught House of Halo's very first creation.  I've chosen the opening to the TV show, Friends, to highlight their work but have a look at all their videos as they are genuinely genius!! 


The Opinionist

I caught a few of Jazza John's videos a while back, subscribed to the Rhyming With Oranges channel but didn't delve in as much as I should. Just by chance, I clicked on this one and everything he said resonated with how I currently feel about a lot of YouTube content. He is a huge advocate of LGBT issues but also talks about politics and technology and I'm looking forward to his upcoming series from his travels to India. 


The Stationery Lover

I went through a whole period of watching 'What's In My Bag' videos and this one from palest blue appeared in my recommended videos. I spotted a Filofax in the bag (I'm very observant...), looked at the other videos on the channel and loved the 'show and tell' planner set up and flip-through videos.


The Random

Because science... and pain... and slow motion. Watch The Slow Mo Guys with or without the kids and enjoy. They even take requests!! 


Your Turn...


Recommend me some really great YouTube content to subscribe to. You know the type - stuff that you really, really can't wait until the next upload. It can be a daily vlogger, a comedian, a singer, something educational, a beauty blogger... absolutely anything - the more random, the better!. 

Did you enjoy this? I've got a whole subscription list of weird and wonderful stuff.  I could recommend channels every couple of months if you want?  Let me know!  

You can also subscribe to me on YouTube if you want...

26 Bands From The 80's : Where Are They Now?

The other day, whilst out with my husband , I was listening to some UB40 in the car and wondered what they were up to now.  Then I saw this post from Buzzfeed and realised I totally needed to steal that idea.   BUT the problem with doing a "Where Are They Now" of the 80s is that they are either dead, accountants (dead accountants?) or in their mid 50's and, having realised they have snorted their pension up their nose, are dragging themselves onto the Reunion Tour concert circuit. So here are my chosen few that form my A-Z of 80's 'Where Are They Now?'   Do you fancy adding any of your own? Art Of Noise.   Last seen looking for Peter Gunn and desperately hoping that Tom Jones tells a "I know A rt Of Noise" story about them on The Voice. Billy Idol.   Currently setting off airport alarms all over the world after having a steel rod inserted into his leg following a motorbike accident in 1990.  Practicing Rebel Yell on Guitar Her...

[REVIEW] Canvas print from PrinterPix

Whilst dabbling in a bit of (very) amateur photography I occasionally have a favourite photo printed onto canvas.  It's usually a scenery picture and used to brighten up the walls in the lounge or at a focal point on the stairs.  Most recently I have had two images put through the process by PrinterPix . I sent off an image of my son after his Territorial Army passing out parade in April (proud parent moment) and one of our dog on the beach from a few months ago.  They were returned within a few days and looked even better than I had imagined. Soldier Boy is on a canvas that is 16" x 20" on a standard thickness (2cm) frame.  Michi is on a 12" x 16" canvas which is stretched onto a thickeer (4cm) frame.  Both have been printed using a gloss finish.   All canvases from PrinterPix are hand-stretched, use fade-resistant ink and tension wedges are fitted into the corners of each frame to aid stability. What do you think?  I'm in l...

7 Things To Do In Roda, Corfu

This year, our summer holiday took us to Corfu. We were staying in Roda on the north coast of the island and had a wonderful time. It's a beautiful Greek fishing village and has the most chilled and welcoming atmosphere I've ever experienced.  I'd love to share my recommended seven things to do if you visit Roda. Sunset over Roda harbour Swimming With The Fishes The coastline at Roda is completely flat so you can walk out quite a distance and still only be in shallow water.  The beach in the village is very sandy but becomes rocky as you move out of town towards some of the beach front hotels (twenty paces out to sea, it becomes sandy again). The water is generally very calm, beautifully warm and clear enough to see the occasional fish swimming by.   Chill out at the Boathouse As we walked down from our hotel, The Boathouse was one of the first bars we stopped at before continuing into Roda. It is perfectly placed between the rural coastal road that l...
