I don't watch his videos, I just go through the links in the description and watch the trailers on the steam page. He covers a lot of games not all good or unique, but it's easy to go through. Also if you haven't been playing many games then the top indie games of the year/decade can be good for you.
Also I found this list on indie general on /v/ or /vg/ a while back, it's pretty good.

sorry for the long list but I hope it helps people find some indie games.
I've played or own about half of these, and those I've played have been great. To me that means this person is a good curator. Here are a few I've especially enjoyed:
I didn't like a few of them (e.g. Jet Lancer), but that's mostly because I don't like the genres they're in, not because they're bad games.
