WTF is Grant's avatar at the moment? What? Don't most middle aged men wish to present themselves like this? By the way, as Grant will quickly tell you, he is not gay. Who is this anyway? Is she some c-list seventies celeb, or did Gnart just poach some random teen girl's FB profile pic?

So, I decided to go to YouTube to binge on car crash videos for awhile, and I noticed that good ole jeatleboe has a live chat going. He isn't in his Beatle room, he's watching TV in another room. So, I decided to take a quick looksee and tuned in. There was a long silence as Joe absorbed whatever was on the screen. And then he said: You know...I don't think Marilu Henner looks so good anymore... I tell ya, it's a man's world. But not for much longer... That was all I stayed for. I would have posted the link, but he deleted it already.

You piqued my curiosity, so I googled "marilu henner 2017".
I hope I'm as well-preserved at 65 years old.
I will say the "Jawa look" does suit ol' Jeats, though. Much nicer than the "Doughy Doofus Dork" theme he usually goes with.

Wait, these guys do live broadcasts on Youtube?? I can’t believe I’m only hearing about this now, but it’s a great late Christmas gift. Can someone post a link? (I’m imagining their homes resemble the basement pit from Silence of the Lambs decked out with Beatles memorabilia mugs and posters of that tennis player scratching her ass). Except MYKE’s which probably just has camouflage nets hanging from ceiling to floor.

I don't know which SHites have YouTube channels, but here's jeatleboe's: www.youtube.com/user/MeanMrMayoHe frequently does live chats.

There actually is a vast underground network of YouTube Beatards which probably does have some overlap with the SHites; Joe can't be the only SHite to go down this road. They call themselves the "vinyl community", which presumably includes all vinyl, but they all seem to be Beatards.
Their videos are mind-numbingly similar and non-creative: Beatles albums, ranked best to worst. Beatles albums, ranked worst to best. Top 10 Beatles songs. Top 10 solo Beatles songs. My latest Beatles purchases. Some will feature rekkids they buy that aren't Beatles, and they always have vomitous taste; Joe favors Doris Day, Ann Margret, and Johnny Mathis, although I don't think he ever actually plays the records.
Unboxing videos are special, big events. In them, we usually see a package from Amazon torn open, a few minutes of struggle with shrink wrap, and then a gentle fondling of all the contents.
A lot of videos are shot in thrift stores as the Beatard flips through albums. If they choose one to buy, it is always on the level of wtf-does-this-guy-actually-listen-to-that-shit. Your grandma would scoff at how soft and square their non-Beatles purchases are. It's enough to make you wonder where John Lennon went wrong, if these saps with their wimpy tastes are the bulwark of Beatles fandom.
Some videos are shot in record stores. jeatleboe regularly shoots inside his local record shop, where the degenerate customers and patronizing-to-Joe-but-he-doesn't-get-it shop clerks are all more interesting than he is (I discovered his channel via one of these videos) I especially enjoy one particular whining man of 50-something named Paul who calls daily to beg the store for the gheyest albums on credit, which they always refuse because he still owes them for the last ones. It is these kinds of snapshots of the twisted "vinyl community" that I tune in for. Joe himself is just a bore.
Aside from the similarity of rooms, all of these guys have something disturbing or off-putting about them. Strange tics, weird voices, lotsa fatness, bizarre inflections...it almost seems to be a prerequisite that there be something wrong with you in order to become a YouTubing Beatard. Which I guess is a "duh" realization...

These videos do in fact sound amazing, I need to check out these mutants. I worked in a record store for a summer after my exams in 1990. It was obviously pre-internet days and we had a massive encyclopedia type book that had all the records & CDs available to order. It was produced annually but there was always a group of idiots who’d come in each Saturday with scribbled notes of records tbey wanted and asked to see the book to check if it existed. They never bought or ordered a single thing. Ever. They remind me of the Beatards.

When the "vinyl community" started out, it was usually just a video made on a phone of someone flipping through a crate of records. They often never even said anything. I used to pass them around to laugh at, mostly because there's an amazing amount of people that seem to think their Goodwill is a goldmine of choice vinyl. I mean, where else can you find Perry Como AND Percy Faith in the same place these days? The Beatards truly are the worst. They have a total groupthink thing going on. When some new rerelease comes out, there's a flurry of videos related to it, and they all have the same opinions, which you can easily just read about on SHiteland. Second worst are the Metal guys. Metal seems to have become such a cliché that every album cover looks the same, no matter who the band is and all the guys look like Robert Smith without the paleface (or teenage boys). Maybe Metal has always been that way, but the older I get, the more I don't get a 50 year old man getting his nuts in a froth because every solo fits every song, like Legos fit Duplo's. Hell, some of these people have two thousand subscribers!
There are a couple of people on there that talk about things I'm interested in, which usually means they like one or two things I like and then show me something I haven't heard. I have a feeling there's a lot of SHites either making those videos or subscribing to them.

Someone needs to start a thread over there like “recommend me some VC Youtube channels for classic rock and insights”, that should bring them running out.

For anyone who just wishes the SHites could get stuck in a blizzard, joe's latest is actually amusing...

Oh, and before I forget, there's this too...
Is he straight from that Vinyl movie, or what?
