Ahh, YouTube… I can spend hours upon hours on this thing. I really enjoy going from one video to another – perhaps starting out on something featured on the front page, or something new from one of my subscriptions. Then after watching a video and posting a comment if I have some kind of compliment to the author or to let someone know if they posted something idiotic, I then proceed to watch related video after related video – and watch in amazement as they gradually dwindle in relevance from the video I started at.

Anyway, I was looking at peoples’ cover performances of one of my favourite bands Say Anything and found one by a user called Jaaaaaaa.

This girl is absolutely bloody amazing! Julia Nunes is a very talented singer/songwriter from New York that skilfully plays the ukulele, guitar and melodica. She is of course, extremely talented at what she does. But it is proven through her talking channel that she is very fun to watch even when she’s not performing. She has this immense enthusiasm, silliness and joy that comes through in her videos, which had me grinning ear-to-ear at 2am last week when I discovered her. She is really just amazing to watch, and she has given me immense musical inspiration.
