YT algorithm - weird unexpected gems....

[bholder]

I spent the last half hour listening to "Gypsy Middle Eastern Nomad Ensemble in the Persian Sands", courtesy of the YT algorithm. Pretty cool. And very far afield from my usual YT fare. I have done some "world" and "ethnic" searches at times, but nothing close to this. Pretty cool (again). Yay for The Algorithm!



What's your "new and strange to me but good" YT algorithm recommendation? Just curious what other gems might be lurking...

Yeah, they rawk! I found them while searching for new metal bands not from 'round these parts (The Hu and Alien Weaponry were the seeds).

If you like the Hu you will probably also like Nine Treasures, another Mongol metal band.

Have you ever encountered Gogol Bordello? I just saw them two weeks ago, for the third time. Totally insane.

I mean, Google/Alphabet is the biggest spy agency in history. Of course they're spying on us, it's what they've been doing for decades now.

I love this Drumeo series where drummers get drum-free audio of songs they don't know and write parts.

I totally get it, I'm surprised Eno didn't come up with that 50 years ago. Laurie Anderson did something similar with a violin.
