Youtube Gems
 

Long before i became hooked on blogs i was favouriting videos on youtube, and have built up a fairly sturdy library, mostly music, but also dumb ****, this threads more concerned with exposing those great webcam musicians and cover musicians, or other rare gems you wouldnt have otherwise have found.

BASICALLY, share your favourite favourites.... lets keep it music

Wrap youtube tags over the code at the end of the video url. It's in the 'Go Advanced' settings.

ha thanks man

I was going to make a thread called 'YouTube Sensations' but then I saw this was already here so I'll post it here. There are SO many amazing musicians that I discover on YouTube, and who become quite well-known via the medium. They may not have an album out or anything, and they may be singing/ playing in front of their webcam, but they've got thousands of subscribers and hits. Here are some of my favourites:

Juliana Daily (you can download a lot of her covers and originals from her Last.fm page which can be located in her YouTube user profile):



The Bathroom Girl:



This young lady, I think her name is Francis - Tool have posted her videos on their blogs.



Jack Conte:

hey...you should check these guys out. an app called stumble upon brought me to them. Theyre ****ing awesome though, does anybody know about these guys? im guessing not since the low youtube views

sorry...apparently i cant send the link. just replace the (dot) with an actual . and (slash) with /.

anyway. Stone Descendant. They should be up and coming soon, we need this type of music again.

a pair of street performers. can't get enough of this one.

It so great! I like guitar but i can't play well

Here is a little gig two of my friends from high school put together. Both are great musicians, the drummer is going to berkley college of music for performance.

This guy was a living legend on YouTube thanks to his awesome bass covers of anything from Iron Maiden to 311 to Primus to Minutemen. Unfortunately, he tragically passed away earlier this year. He helped start the LRRG movement and will be missed amongst the YouTube community.
