* HalloweenEpisode: His [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LERjer-9NDA review]] of Burial's 2007 album ''"Untrue"'', in which he wore a WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows Halloween costume.
** In that video, he hinted at possibly doing another one this year on Monolake's ''"Ghosts"''.
* NoPronunciationGuide: Is (understandably) unable to pronounce Peredur ap Gwynedd from Music/{{Pendulum}}'s name; later starts to refer to him as "that Perry guy".

'''''The Wonky Angle''''' is a {{YouTube}} music review channel run by 256 Pi, real first name Tommy, running since July 2015. The channel revolves around, as his tagline says, electronic music, both new and old. Videos generally tend to fall into one of two categories; either reviews of recently-released electronic albums, or full album-by-album discography reviews of a single electronic artist, culminating in a Top 10 Best [artist] Songs list. There are other videos to be found as well; including CD collection showcase videos coinciding with the channel's anniversary, the occasional rant or thinking-out-loud video on something concerning the world of electronic music, and at the end of every year, stepping outside the world of electronic for two Best and Worst lists of pop hits from the year prior, WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows or WebVideo/SpectrumPulse style, as well as a list of the Top 10 best Electronic albums of that year.
