The Station Gives A Shout Out To 3 Under-Viewed Youtube Channels

Has it already been a week since The Station's last "The Station Is Watching You"? Once again, we are met by our smiling Host with the Most, JoeFelice who features three channels that for whatever reason, haven't found their audiences yet - at least as far as having huge subscriber bases. Take a look:



The first channel is brob444 (aka 22-year-old Brandon Robinson), the music channel reviewed by davedays.



I agree with Joe when he was showing Dave this channel - heavily influenced by Dave's music, which is great, and with enormous listenability IMO. Plus, when you look at the older stuff Brandon has posted, you can see a lot of improvement musically as well as visually. Where will he be 6 months or a year down the line? I dunno, but it should be an interesting journey.

The 2nd channel that "The Station Is Watching You" points us towards is from Kayl Johnson and the channel is thenewsyoushouldknow. I actually have been subbed to Kayl for a while now and give The Station the thumbs up for giving him this shout out. Hear's the video that TheWillofDC was watching:



Will better keep looking over his shoulder because this guy is pretty good. If you don't know who TheWillofDC is, he does several videos each week about YT Winners & Losers (and I've done some posts here on his videos too). But Kayl's videos are good and I like his delivery as well as the scope of what he covers. You can also follow him on Twitter: @KaylJohnson.

The final channel they review is from wendymccolm, who I thought bore a striking resemblence to Alyson Hannigan (maybe it's the red hair), but I hadn't seen her before. Her channel was given the once-over by Michael Gallagher of TotallySketch.



Wendy has about 45 or so videos uploaded to Youtube over the last couple of years and if she takes Gallagher's advice and stops using copyrighted stuff, she'll easily make it into the Youtube Partnership program. You can stalk her over on Twitter at @wendymccolm (and she's got a tumblr account you can check out: wendymccolm.tumblr.com)

So, what do you think of these three picks? And also, how do you think Joe should handle the spammers? Should he listen to Spammy McSpamalot and just choose whomever gets the most plugs from that particular channel's fans?

Also, the opening and closing theme song for "The Station Is Watching You" was done by davidshurrmusic, so give him some comments if you liked his stuff. I thought his take on the theme was pretty good.

Shay Carl At The Station, But Soon Heading Home To See The Tardlets

It looks like Shay is still in Los Angeles doing some top secret work for The Station, leaving Mommytard at home as the Tardlet Wrangler. Shay should be flying home to join the Shaytards tomorrow.



Shay was wandering the halls of the Station in a bloody butcher's apron so I'm hoping he is getting character for an upcoming video, while meanwhile back at "Chez Carl" (like my play on words there?) Katilette is contending with the rambunctious Shaytard children - Princesstard is truly frightening with her werewolf makeup, but Sontard was looking good shootin' hoops. I think I would have called a lot of travelling violations and fouls in that game, but they're just learning, so you have to cut them some slack. I do think Sontard may be more of a football guy than a basketball guy.

It was funny seeing them filming a scene at the Station and KassemG silently tearing Shay a new one for vlogging while they went over what the wanted to do in the scene. I've noticed that the videos from "The Station" have slowed down in number while their 2nd channel, The Station2 have increased.

Sontard and Princesstard are watching an old Shaytards video and busting a gut laughing (and missing Shay too it seems). Here's the video they were watching:



So Shay will be back in Idaho tomorrow. And tell Shay to remember his toothbrush and not to leave his camera on the plane this time!

Justin Bieber Turns Into A Rapper?!

Actually, this is Alex Farnham, known as DamItsGood808 to the kids on the Youtube, as Justin Bieber. It looks like Bieber's career has evolved and now he's being a rap star (a rap wannabe?). Don't think young Justin has built up much in the way of street cred - he looks like a modern day Vanilla Ice lol.



In case you don't know who Farnham is, he was recently featured by The Station (see the Bradshaw's Blog post: The Station's 2 Picks For Awesome Channels You Should Be Watching from a couple of weeks ago). He also does an uncanny Jim Carrey as Ace Ventura impression. You might have spotted him in the recent video by the Station where they reviewed animator mrdaninsane as the second of 3 underviewed youtubers you might like. That post was The Station Is Giving You The Eye...

Because of the Station liking Farnham so much, they got him to come to Los Angeles where he was put up at the palatial estate of Joe Felice, much to the chagrin of a certain bearded gentleman from Idaho who had been staying there when he was in town.

Farnham now has over 53,000 subs and it shouldn't be not too long before he hits the 100K mark if he keeps putting out stuff like this.

Hopefully I won't get flamed too much when I post this on Twitter by all the little Bieber freaks - but hopefully they'll turn their angry comments on Alex's channel and video. That's Alex Farnham, and his channel is DamItsGood808 lol.

DeniseVlogs Busts A Move At The Station

If you went to a Halloween party or any party for that matter and there was dancing, would you be ready? Could you show off some epic dance moves? DeniseVlogs asks people at The Station to show off their best dance moves - starting with Mr Danny Diamond (posing as a custodial engineer):



Now Danny can dance, which you can tell from his videos (oh, wait, he made them all private so you can see them anymore), but he does show some moves in this one. And the lovely Ceciley looks pretty good shakin' what her mommy gave her.

And of course, what would a video from The Station be without at least one shot of hiimrawn's butt crack. As far as Joe Felice, when did he become such a tough taskmaster? I always thought Joe was the ultimate nice guy when I saw him, but I guess that was (Using my best Jon Lovitz voice) Act-ting!

The Station's 2 Picks For Awesome Channels You Should Be Watching

I'm really liking this new feature from The Station on YouTube (actually this is from TheStation2, their 2nd channel). Your Genial Host With The Most is of course, Joe Felice and he features YouTube channels with less than 10,000 subscribers that viewers have suggested should be highlighted so they can be seen by more youtubers and others. First, take a look at Joe's video below for more info and then I'll post a video from both of the featured channels.



I've never heard of either of these two channels, so hats off to Joe and The Station for bringing them to our attention. This new feature is very clever on their part, but if you are subbed to Joe's channel, you know he has his insightful moments (I particularly love his political videos - need more of those Joe!) and he has been a great addition to the Station's crew in my opinion.

The first channel that they told us about is called thelittlefears who originate from Canada and currently have 1,955 subs but should be getting more. The only drawback is that although they have 32 videos posted on their channel, they haven't added anything new in 4 months. But it will take you some time to get through those 32 videos and maybe they can be convinced to upload more (subtle hint there). Take a look at one of their videos:



They also have a cool, spooky website called Creepy Pasta that you might want to check out.

The 2nd channel that Joe talks about is DamItsGood808 with Alex Farnham. You have to agree that he is a dead ringer for Jim Carrey from the Ace Ventura movies. Make sure you check out his other videos too. Definitely a thumbs up.



All I can say is well done by The Station for bringing these two channels to everyone's attention and look forward to seeing what they'll find next.
