So, here’s a big crossword for you to get your teeth into over the festive break. I’ve put together a fun and (hopefully) challenging puzzle that will test your knowledge of the year in music and of the channel. All the answers will be in my videos somewhere, and you’ll probably be able to guessContinue reading “#37 – Fancy Winning a Year’s Membership of my YouTube Channel?”

#27 – W/C 22nd April 2024 on Adventures In Music
It’s been a great week of music on the channel, with two full albums from Pain Of Salvation and Alice in Chains, a Theme Songs feature focusing on monkeys, a single song reaction to a brand new Finnish prog metal band Katoaja and the routine upload of some more of my own original music. TheContinue reading “#27 – W/C 22nd April 2024 on Adventures In Music”
#25 – The Tool Page
Here I am collecting together all of the full album play-through/reactions of Tool’s that I’ve done on my channel. I will also start doing the same with some of the other multi-album reactions. I also spoke on the latest video about a new book I’ve got called Tool On Track: Every Album,Every Song. It isContinue reading “#25 – The Tool Page”
#24 – W/C 8th April 2024 on Adventures In Music
On the channel this week, we’ve had a plethora of great music and conversation. If you missed it you can catch up here. Hopefully between Agalloch, Caravan, Candlemass and Bob Dylan, you found something worth watching and listening to! Looking forward to next week already! Cheers, Jim Agalloch – The Mantle, parts 1, 2 andContinue reading “#24 – W/C 8th April 2024 on Adventures In Music”
#22 – W/C 1st April 2024 on Adventures In Music
In an effort to try and organise and collate the somewhat overwhelming level of content on my sprawling and sometimes impenetrable YouTube channel, I am publishing a new blog post each week showcasing the videos I uploaded with appropriate tags. I hope this makes it easy to navigate and keep track of my content. IContinue reading “#22 – W/C 1st April 2024 on Adventures In Music”
#19 – People Say The Nicest Things (1)
There are many reasons why making the videos I do on YouTube give me pleasure, but right at the top is the community, and the feedback I receive. It still blows me away that the silly little videos I make have such a positive effect on my audience. In case you missed them in theContinue reading “#19 – People Say The Nicest Things (1)”
#17 – The Power of the Negative
In employment, wherever it is, whoever it is with, there is one constant that pops up year after year after year: the annual appraisal. It’s that one time of the year when you pause, reflect, and try to be honest with yourself before talking to the boss about what went well and what could haveContinue reading “#17 – The Power of the Negative”
#08 – Jim: The Accidental YouTuber
The empty chair, and the wall of records behind me. Its a bit like the proverbial blank piece of paper for the writer…. where do I start? What am I listening to? How NOT to procrastinate! I was going to call this post “How Do You Make A Reaction Video?” but to answer that, I’dContinue reading “#08 – Jim: The Accidental YouTuber”
#07 – Music That Sounds Like Geography!
When Craig suggested Sólstafir’s album Ótta for me to play on the channel, he knew how much I’d LOVE this record! I’ll admit, before the record arrived courtesy of my generous benefactor, I’d never heard of them. Worse still, once arrived, I didn’t listen to the record! There was just so much other music toContinue reading “#07 – Music That Sounds Like Geography!”
