David and Alan have been uploading their Jandek-esque atonal interpretations of classic pop covers at the rate of one or two a week for several years, most have viewing figures in the low tens or less: http://www.youtube.com/user/allycomber/videos

one thing I especially like is that they don't let you know what song they're tackling today in the upload title, it's a total lucky dip

Vlogs from other credible bands such as Shed Seven (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 9 February 2017 18:22 (seven years ago) link

Even more frightening than this are the teenagers who translate their blog entries into 5-6 minute videos where they just talk in front of their webcam. Channel 101 better watch their back.

No offense to the band (they record) but it has an amateur feel and it's awesome.

More amateur:
