YouTube is a great website to do a lot of things. Watch dogs on skateboards. Find out what a fourteen year old girl in Alaska had for lunch. Watch clips of the O.C. set to bad high school graduation music. And yet YouTube is still somehow a hotbed for Internet activity.
Perhaps it's because, underneath all of this gross hustle & bustle, people with real talent inexplicably find their way to the site and showcase interesting thoughts and talents.
Take Julia Nunes for instance, known on the site as jaaaaaaa. She plays ukulele and occasionally guitar, along with auxilary percussion (slinkies?). Her voice is unique and though she's gained a lot of popularity for playing ukulele covers of popular songs like "Build Me Up, Buttercup" and "God Only Knows," her original material is fantastic and well worth the listen.
That's "Maybe I Will," from her sophomore album I Wrote These. Catchy, eh? So don't give up on the Internet just yet. There are still plenty of gems hiding out there if you only look hard enough.
