Walking NYC

posted December 16, 2019 #

ActionKid does a simple but pleasing thing - he walks the streets of NYC. On a regular day, this may seem like a rather boring endeavor to watch but during the holiday season, there's a lot of NYC that goes nuts with decorations. Spending some time with his Rockefeller Center Christmas Walk (360!), Dyker Heights decorations or the Vintage Subway Train is a surprisingly pleasing undertaking. It's not quite the same as being there but, on the upside, there's no crappy weather or people shoving you around when you watch from your apartment. A fair tradeoff. Here's a 2019 playlist to keep you occupied for a few hours.

Taco Stacks

posted December 16, 2019 #

For reasons beyond explanation, I've been watching a good deal of Taco Stacks, a YouTube'r that spends his time driving around Pennsylvania going through people's trash to find perfectly good items for resale, recyclable metal material and flea market fair. He also occasionally goes to auctions or buys abandoned storage lockers, filled with random ephemera. His personality is pleasant and the footage is bizarrely captivating.

I know nothing of his back story but given he has 200,000+ subscribers, I don't think I'm alone in my enjoyment of his offerings.

Friday Distraction, Dec 13th, 2019

posted December 13, 2019 #

I'm in NY this week for meetings and holiday parties and friend catchups so,very little blogging and no Friday videos. However, I hate to leave ya hanging so here's a single little treat for you to enjoy - Harry Hosono and The Yellow Magic Band with "Tokio Rush." Hosono and YMB is the precursor to Yellow Magic Orchestra and it's a fascinating track - where else you gonna hear such a fun little horn used so effectively.

Enjoy!
