A definitive guide to my YouTube subscriptions (as of 27/01/2011)

I'm always going on about different YouTubers and I've built up quite a long list of subscriptions so (mainly for Terrie's benifit) I've decided to list them all (alphabetically as that's easiest) and say a little about each. The ones with * are particular ones that I think you should check out!
*AlexanderCarpenter - An awesome guy who lives in the same house as Luke Conard and Jason Munday. He does a nice mix of sketches, music videos and vlogs.‏
ALLCAPSBAND- The home of ALL CAPS (Luke Conard and Kristina Horner) although they haven't made many videos on here recently.‏
alwayswheezy - The iPhone channel of Wheezy Waiter. All the 'big' names have more than one channel now!‏
Blendtec - The channel that I only subbed to because I like watching get things blended...‏
Cadegoestocollege ‏- I've only recently subbed to this guy. I found him through his Owl City video contest entry (which he won!) and I watched some of his other videos that looks pretty cool but I haven't watched much of his stuff yet.
charlieissoboredlike - Charlie McDonnell's second channel. Hardly used but very random!‏
*charlieissocoollike - If you're not subscribed to him you're either not on YouTube or possibly a guy. A loveable English guy who does everything from vlogs to sketches to funny music.‏
ChartJackersProject - A channel I haven't unsubscribed from since the project to get a crowd sourced song into the charts for Children in Need just over a year ago. (Wow, I've been on YouTube that long?!)‏
CowInParachute - He hasn't updated recently but he's the first regeneration of a Chameleon Circuit member *wipes tear away at the though of the next album not including things like "Gallifreyan History 101" and "K9's Lament"*‏
crabstickz - I didn't like this guy at first however my friend Alex kept going on about him and I decided that I did like him after all =)‏
crabstickz2 -‏ The second channel of crabstikz.
*dananddanfilms - An amazing guy (well, a guy who always appears as two guys in his videos) he/they make amazing short sketches that are hillarious and also often relevant to the news. However, he/they don't update particularly often. Nevertheless, when he/they do update, it's usually worth the wait!‏
devilishlypure ‏- The home of 'Tuesday' from the five awesome girls.
dftbarecords - This isn't updated much but I subbed after there was a behind the scene of DFTBA video or something like that.‏
*eddplant -‏ I wish I had discovered this guy so much sooner. I think I may have subbed to him a while ago however it wasn't until I went to the Sons of Admirals/John Green gig in the summer that I realised how amazing his music and singing is. Seriously, his voice is amazing.
*ElectricFaerieDust ‏- Another YouTuber I wan't totally convinced about the first time I discovered her. However, Terrie kept going on about her and I grew to like her stuff =)
*emilythebravee - Mike Lombardo suggested her and I looked at her channel sceptically and was pleasantly surprised. She's a relatively new YouTuber but she does really good vlogs!‏
*falletron - Ok, I have to admit I mainly subscribed to this guy for his accent... Is that wrong? However, his videos seem pretty good too =)‏
fallofautumndistro ‏- The creator of Erase This and co-founder of DFTBA records. I'm assuming his busy life with DFTBA records is the reason for his lack of videos however when they do turn up they're usually pretty awesome.
fiveawesomegirls - This colab channel has come to an end however there are a lot of really good videos there to go back and look at. The idea behind it was brilliant and I miss not having their faces on my screen every weekday (even if I did end up watching them the next day due to time differences)‏
fiveawesomeguys - A spin off of fiveawesomegirls. I wasn't around for the proper thing so I don't know why I subscribed however there are some good videos in the archives.‏
*fizzylimon - This guy is an all round good egg. Vlogs, music, intelligent discussions, sketches, this guy is amazing. I highly recommend you go watch some of his videos.‏
frezned - A fairly recent addition. I was introduced to his randomness in various Alex and Charlie videos and his videos are nearly always of the amusingly random kind.‏
GearsAgain - The second channel of thegearskeepturning
hankschannel ‏- The second channel of Hank from the Vlogbrothers. A mix of music and randomness.
*hayleyghoover - Another fiveawesomegirl who does hilarious vlogs and sketches (and also write a brilliant blog but that's sort of unrelated)‏
hexachordal - aka Tom Milsom who is crazy but a musical genius. However, for all the videos that leave you lost, you'll get an awesome one.‏
*HowToLiz - I subscribed to her almost a year ago when John from the Vlogbrothers linked to her. Her videos are hilarious and advice should be taken with a pinch of salt. A large pinch of salt.‏
iamthealterego - A very very recent addition to my subscriptions. (I had to check who it was!) I basically subbed to him because he seemed pretty good as 1/4 of the new vloglovers.‏
*ImprovEverywhere - This channel is amazing. Flash mobs, practical jokes, no trousers day... They may not update often but when they do, another epic even has taken place with epic reactions from the public. I highly recommend you go watch a few videos.‏
imSarahSnitch - Another very recent addition. I found her through Alex Carpenter and her video looked good and she hasn't made many videos so I subbed in the hope that awesomeness would follow!‏
IntheKeyofWill - The music channel of Will Dixon however he's getting rid of it soon so don't really worry about this one.‏
*italktosnakes - Another fiveawesomegirl‏ and an awesome vlogger. Most of her videos are vlogs (she also writes a really good blog) however the occasional video is a music video from either ALL CAPS or some other thing she's involved with.
*jasonmundaymusic ‏- A great singer overshadowed by Luke Conard. I think Jason Munday is an amazing singer and a lot of his videos are music based however he does some good vlog too.
*jbdazen - Wow! Someone who isn't either American or English! (Well, Frezned is Australian but I group him with them) J B Dazen is from the Netherlands (I think) and is an amazing musician. Seriously, he's done the intro music for a couple of other YouTubers I'm subbed to and his music is awesome. He also does vlogs as well which are pretty awesome too =)‏
*JeffIsOld -‏ The informal yet wonderful second channel of Mike Lombardo
jimmy0010 - This guy used to do some good vlogs but I think he's fallen off the face of Nerdfighteria...‏
johnjnoe ‏- Not sure about this channel yet. I subscribed because of links with Echo Base (Luke Conard, Jason Munday, Alex Carpenter)
JohnnyDurham19 ‏- This guy always does really nice vlogs however, if it wasn't for the fact that he's appeared in the videos of other YouTubers I would think he's fallen off the face of the earth.
jp - The second channel of Mystery Guitar Man. Often behind the scenes and that sort of thing.‏
kayleyhyde - The second channel of Owlssayhooot. It's a bit like a scrapbook I think =)‏
KickThePj - A channel full of rather good little sketches and animations. This guy is really talented when it comes to animations and making videos.
kristinahorner - The second channel of italktosnakes.‏
liliesarelike - Basically it's charlieissocoollike's mum!‏
*littleradge - He is pretty much the beginning of my YouTube obsession. Him and the rest of Chameleon Circuit. This Scottish guy is amazing. (Yes, more than just his accent and David Tennant-esque looks) His vlogs are brilliant and so are his sketches and even if he isn't the most consistent of vloggers, he is definitely worth a look.‏
*lukeconard - An amazing singer. As part of ALL CAPS and Ministry of Magic he has an amazing voice and amazing music production skills. I initially found him when I found that he helped with Mrs Nerimon, back before ALL CAPS and fairly early on.‏
maureenbooks - An author who I subscribed to because of her amazing tweets but I'm yet to see a video posted...‏
*MikeLombardoMusic - Mike Lombardo is AMAZING at playing the piano. He's also good at vlogs (a lot of the good ones are on his second channel) even ignoring my weakness for piano playing guys (Terrie thinks it's weird how I like watching guy's hands as they play the piano. Is that weird?) he is an amazing musician and an brilliant YouTuber.‏
*missxrojas - Her vlogs are often quite philosophical but I enjoy watching them. =)‏
MusicFromBlueSkies - Another recent sub but I've come across his music a few times before I subbed and I think it's really good.‏
MusicTheoryChannel -‏ Mike Lombardo's music theory channel. There's not much yet so I'm hoping he hasn't abandoned it.
MysteryGuitarMan - Really cleverly edited videos. I think you have to go watch them to see what I mean.‏
nerimon - Alex Day is another one of the YouTubers who started my obsession. He might vlog fairly regularly however his content isn't particularly constant.‏
*OhHeyJade ‏- An amazingly new YouTuber. I found her first video as it was part of a Ministry of Magic music video contest and it was amazing, astounding even for a first video, and she's just put up a second that supports my theory that she's going to be amazing.
*owlssayhooot - Another fiveawesomegirl who does really good vlogs of varying topics from fashion to Harry Potter to Disney.‏
*pineappleboyfilms - You MUST MUST MUST go here! This guy does awesome weekly updates and why does he do them? Because he is the writer and producer of the most amazing web series ever. Platoon of Power Squadron. Your view of that show is imperative.‏
PJTheKick - The second channel (and rather bizzare channel) of KickthePJ‏
pogobat - I wasn't too sure about this guy at first. Possibly just because of the videos I happened to stumble across however I found out more about him after a clip of him revealing his new project at VidCon and this guy is basically trying to see if he can live with his internet community telling him what he should do. From the small things like what to eat to the big things like where to live. However, content does vary a bit.‏
project4awesome - Subscribed for P4A updates. I'm staying subbed as I'm assuming it will be re-kindled for next year's P4A!‏
*RhettandLink -‏ These guys make amazing sketches and videos. They're often sponsored so often called sellouts however I think it just means they're able to make even better videos and of course there's their second channel...
*rhettandlink2 - RhettandLink's second channel where they tend to do more update-y vlogs. I particularly recommend looking them out at the moment as they're doing "Good Morning Chia Lincoln". Basically a 5-10 minute vlog with no cuts. Yes, they can get away with no cuts.‏
*RockstarRaquel -‏ This girl does some funny sketches however she also does some good vlogs although they tend to be more over on twonerdsinaboat.
smilinglimpet - A fairly recent sub too however he made the video for Charlie's song bread and is amazing at animation.‏
*songsfrompaul - This guy is amazing at doing covers of songs and has a brilliant voice. I haven't listened to much of his original stuff but go check him out.‏
sortedfood - Ok, so I subbed to this because Alex and Charlie were on an episode. However, I do watch in the hope that the cooking information will diffuse into my brain.‏
*TARDIStacular - Rosianna and Kayley do responses to all things Doctor Who. What could be better?‏
teabagnose - Someone from the Roothill camp I went on with the potential of becoming great.‏
thatzak - Another recent sub however I've been watching quite a few back videos and he does really good and funny vlogs‏
*thecolclough - A friend who is amazing at making animations and awesomely nerdy short films.‏
*TheGearsKeepTurning - Although not completely consistent, most of this guy's stuff is amazingly funny. He loves Doctor Who too! Also someone who I can say I discovered before they got partnered. Admittedly not ages before but still!‏
TheJoeFrom1993 - Hmm, fallen of the face of the earth I think.‏
theryanseiler - A recent sub however he is a member of the Ministry of Magic and has a great voice‏
tommilsom - The second channel of Tom Milsom. Usually very unpredictable and leads me worrying about his sanity. However that may be the desired effect.‏
trannylexxx - Second channel of tyrannosauruslexxx
*TwoNerdsinaBoat - A colab channel between RockstarRaquel and WillsOdyssey . Brilliant vlogs. Enough said.‏
tyrannosauruslexxx - She is a brilliant singer, even if she doesn't always admit it herself and she also does some funny vlogs too.‏
*vlogbrothers - The beginnings of Nerdfighteria, puppy-sized elephants, DFTBA, giant squids of anger, French the llama, and so many other inside jokes. Basically two brothers vlogging to each other regularly with content ranging from informative vlogs to odd songs.And don't worry, you'll get the hang of the inside jokes soon enough.‏
vloglovers - Basically two YouTubers who are in love vlogging back and forth between each other. Although since the end of the last couple (*dun dun dun* is the channel cursed?!) they've decided to have two couples as vloglovers 5.0‏
wheezynews - One of the many extra channels of wheezywaiter. Mainly where he does handstands at the moment.‏
*wheezywaiter - Craig Benzine is hilarious and while his clones, the eagle, his whale, singing carpet, Craig with a wig, explosion Wednesday (which may not be a thing) and all the inside jokes may be a little much at first, you'll soon catch up. His videos are brilliant and well made and I think his channel may be the only one where I've gone back to the beginning and watched every single video I could find. (Ok, I was procrastinating.)‏
*WillsOdyssey ‏- This guy is amazing. His sketches make no sense but in the way that Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy makes no sense and he's obsessed with time travel which certainly isn't a bad thing. He's also pretty good at music too.
YourAverageAdam - Another recent sub. I'm still yet to watch more videos however he seems like a pretty good vlogger!
So, that took much longer than I expected! Hopefully all the links work and I hope you enjoy watching some of these videos as much as I do!
DFTBA xX
