I really don't understand people who don't like music vids. Unless they are looking at bad ones on YouTube. I love me some musical montage. And some of our fandom vidders are the most amazing, creative people alive.

To kick off my Vividcon appreciation, I found this SPN vid today by butterfly. It is SPN. It is Destiel. It is Charlie and Dean as AU siblings. It is hilarious and cool. And a good reminded about why Destiel is such a presistent ship. It's not my thing, but I can't deny it is in the canon, given this uses lots of canon footage to good effect. None of that splicing of scenes to get an AU point across.

keswindhover check it out. It's from the one episode you saw of SPN! So, you can relate to it, too.

...which reminds me that I've never shared a link to my favorite meditation site. At least, I don't think I've ever shared a link.

The mind could be going, I suppose. Anyway...the site is the loving work of Elisabeth Blaikie. She has a very soothing voice. She also must be a lovely person, because while she offers the meditations for sale, she also offers them all for free. You will want to donate to her via MP3 purchases after a few sessions though, because the whole site is so soothing and wonderful. I carry her with me on my MP3 player, just because I like to put some of the meditations on repeat to help me sleep.

Enjoy some relaxation on me, folks.

I don't know that you care. I don't particularly care, myself. But congrats to them. I bring it up, because a friend of mine pointed me toward this vid as a result of that marriage, and I must say, I love this vid.

I never watch Jimmy Fallon, except as I surf by his show when I'm up too late. But, I sort of like Justin Timberlake. Not in a fangirl way, though I've enjoyed a couple of his songs. I never thought much about him one way or the other, until I saw him on Ellen one afternoon. After that, I tried to catch his guest appearances. He is a marvelous guest on a talk show. Here he is being a marvelous guest for Jimmy.

Don't let the rap history premise put you off, because, I hate rap, but I still loved this...and recognized most of the musical references, too.

This is a general Brothers in Arms style Supernatural vid and the song is obviously by a fan of the show. Though it could be a parody of something I don't recognize. I do hope it wasn't seriously intended, but it does speak to the beauty of the show, because SPN is beautiful and camp at the same time. That's sort of what makes SPN great...how touching it can be, while going so far over the top.

And, well, seriously...this vid is like Tori Amos meets Abbot & Costello with Angels! I guess. Really, if you have ever watched SPN. OR...if you haven't and just want to know what it is like. Or if you tend to LOL at some of those indie-singer angst style vids that fans make...you should enjoy this one.



My favorite line...hands down in this song is "Because I'm Dean. You're Cas...it's my responsibility to kick you in the ass." OMG! So true of the Winchester dynamic!

This vid was on my FList today. So you may have already seen it. I thought it was a hoot and the musicality gets better as it goes along, too.

I don't know what it is about guys named Dave, but they tend to be the cutest things. I have had crushes on like...6 guys named Dave (which would make a great title for one of those literary angsty short stories) or David and they have all had this same look to them, too. A sort of cute weasel with an extra helping of nose. They also tend to be smart and funny and quite self-deprecating. I like those traits in a Dave.

Maybe there is something about that particular name, since it means "Beloved." It could be that certain physical baby traits cause parents to pick the name Dave.

All this gushing of mine is brought to you be Dave Days, amateur internet stalker. I just discovered him and he makes me feel like Billie Piper lusting after Justin Bieber. No, I kid. He's way too young for me to lust after him. I am not a pervert cougar. No! But I do find him remarkably amusing, especially when he is doing his Justin Bieber parody. Check it out at his channel here...

He is known for stalking Miley Cyrus until he managed to get her to star in one of his YouTube vids. Here's a free sample of him doing a stalking song 'I'm Better Than Your Boyfriend." He did this song in several styles. My favorite version of this song is PUNK-POP and the funniest one is HARDCORE. This would be the POP SONG style, because I think it shows how just plain adorable Dave Days is.

You know, sometimes even when I don't ship a couple, I can appreciate a vid about them. On rare occasions I can even appreciate a vid about a show I've never watched. In this case, I do watch the show...and I can see some heat between Dean and Cas...just not enough to interest me in shipping them. But...still...this video is very cute.

Hope you all enjoy it.

This one has been around for a very long time, but I just found it. It's a very funny bar song featuring all of the drunken moments and a good portion of the drinking moments of Sam & Dean. They do spend a lot of time in bars.

Plus, there are a lot of Tributes to Metallicar out there on YouTube. And several of those are to Black Betty. But this one is the best one...despite the repetition in the middle of it...because it really is approaches the car as a character and makes her the center of the vid. Sam and Dean aren't in this one, just the car. The only thing I would do differently, is to add in some of the more recent footage like Dean whipping off that cover or some detail shots to this in the middle to replace the repetitive part. Otherwise...it is perfect...

So, I came across this fantastic vid that takes you through most of SPN to the finale of S5. I love this song for the show and I love the way this vidder has created such brilliant edits to give even newcomers to the show a sense of the emotional heart of the Winchester's extended family. It is a fast paced vid and lots of fun, even if emotionally wrenching in some places.

This is so beautiful and perfect a fix-it that it must be what actually happened.

sensiblecat sent me a recommendation for this fic and I must say that I couldn't have come up with a better solution than this one. I did actually toy with this idea a bit (the linking of the two explosions, I mean) but I don't think I could have executed the idea with such aplomb.

Check out the simple solution to all of our Rose/Doctor canon headaches...Moff should make it official somehow...
