A year ago, getting featured on YouTube was huge doings.  One feature would launch your entire channel into stardom.  YouTube has changed the dynamics of the "featured video" and now it doesn't have anywhere near the same impact.  Perspective?  If a video was featured a year ago, it might have easily gotten 500k views; today, little more (if any more) than 100k.

That means the holy grail to lowly youtubers is no longer even remotely attainable--it's completely nonexistent.  A void has been created, a void that is in desperate need of being filled.

This is where Krumbine's Talking Heads comes in.  A change in title?  Maybe.  At any rate, the goal is to cultivate a venue that can be a launching ground for up-and-coming youtubers.  An opportunity for talented people to get recognized.

Maybe this is what Talking Heads was always about, and it just took the show it's self getting featured to realize its full potential.
