Vid and song recs
You guys should check out my YouTube playlists in addition to these vids; I know I've saved things there without reccing them here. Bad Lorraine! (Very very pretty fanvids is probably the playlist you'll be most interested in)
Sober by LaPrincesseNini; SGA; Ronon-centric
I really like this vid; it's brutal and a version of Ronon we don't often see. I think the show itself forgot that Ronon spent SEVEN FREAKING YEARS utterly alone and running and responsible for the deaths of anyone he allowed himself to get close to. By all rights, he should be so screwed up that he can't function. In this vid, he's functioning, but just barely. This is a Ronon who hides behind his physical strength, his mask of invulnerability, like an addiction and in the final seconds of the song, when we see those moments of grace and friendship between Ronon and the people in his life who mean most to him, we know that those friendships are his only hope.
If I Were Gay by Brentzilla84; BtVS; Spander
Just what it says on the tin and such a clever editing job. I will admit that, despite enjoying the fic mightily, when I watch the show I see absolutely zero subtext for these two characters, but this vid makes me wonder why. LOL (I do wish the vid didn't segue inexplicably into the Ats cast stupid dancing from that episode, but *shrugs*)
Kate Miller Heidke covering Psycho Killer by the Talking Heads
OMG SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! Even if it doesn't sound like your cuppa, listen past the opening verse, because this lady has some crazy ass pipes. I am a sucker for covers anyway, and this is an awesome one.
I know I have posted about SONGS TO WEAR PANTS TO before, but it bears some repeating. Here are some of my favorites from the site.
Weezer's Sweater Song if Nirvana sang it
Our Love is Like Dungeons and Dragons
For the prompt: You should write a love song with the most epic lyrics ever Best lyric: Your touch is like Harry Potter's wand. *guffaws*
I am the reason why girls are hot
Oh, this cracks me up.
We are the Robot Pirates
Yo ho ho and a bottle of RAM
I am Trent Reznor
Indeed.
