@SpartanSailor: Yes good advice from Jae. Two things I have used to improve my memo speed:-
1) Practise tracing only. Just time how long it takes you to find all the pieces, including cycle breaks, flips and twists, etc. Don't try to memo anything. It's surprising how long this actually takes. Practising it on its own is helpful because you don't tire your memory, and can really focus on tracing faster without being slowed down by memorizing.
2) Rush memo. Set a countdown timer to beep after N seconds. Start memo and when the timer beeps, pull your blindfold down immediately, even if you're not ready. Solve as much of the cube as you can. This is a good way to give yourself a sense of urgency during memo and compel you to work faster.
Anyway, I haven't posted a video for a long time. Here's my MBLD escapades from last weekend.
