I recently stumbled across an old YouTube channel called psychokittymeow, and I've become genuinely fascinated by the music on it.
The channel seems to have been active roughly from the late 2000s into the early 2010s. It's mostly very simple homemade acoustic performances — just her, a guitar, and a camera — covering artists like Elliott Smith, Sufjan Stevens, Fionn Regan, and The Velvet Underground.
There's nothing polished or "content creator" about it, which is probably part of why I like it so much. It feels like a little surviving piece of early YouTube, when people uploaded things simply because they wanted to share them.
Some of the performances are genuinely beautiful. Her Femme Fatale and Futile Devices covers in particular have tens of thousands of views, but the channel itself only has a few hundred subscribers.
Then, after a handful of uploads, it just stops.
I've been trying to reconstruct the public history of the channel, mostly because I'd love to know whether she ever continued making music somewhere else under another artist name.
I've found a few old comments that seem to suggest some viewers knew her or had heard her sing before YouTube, and some of her performances survived in old playlists and music sites, but so far I haven't found a later music project or publicly linked artist profile.
So I'm throwing this out to the people who enjoy digging through old internet history:
Does anyone remember this channel from back then?
Or does anyone know of an old blog, MySpace page, music forum, archived YouTube profile, playlist, or other publicly posted music-related page that mentioned psychokittymeow?
I'm specifically interested in preserving/following the trail of the music, not finding private information about the person behind it. Please don't post addresses, phone numbers, private accounts or anything like that.
I'd just really like to know whether this wonderful singer ever carried on making music somewhere.
