And in better news, some vid recs

[grav_ity]

I realized that I never actually posted the rec for that Game of Thrones vid I talked about when I explained why I sat down and watched the show over the weekend. So here's the rec. The song is "Thistle And Weeds" which I had never heard, by Mumford and Sons, which I'd only heard of because of the Lion song. Anyway, the first 20 seconds of the vid was enough to make me watch the show. It's really that good. The vid focuses primarily on Dany and her various relationships. It pulls no punches. Literally. But the song encompasses Dany's determination and the path she takes to find her power, which was something I adored in the series itself. I also really, really liked the editing (which I won't spoil for you), and the song is a wonderful kind of understatedly epic that makes me wonder why no one ever pointed me at Mumford and Son's before.

Thistle and Weeds: Fire cannot kill the dragon.

In a COMPLETELY different direction, we have the ADORABLE PONDS from Eleventy!Who, in a vid called "You Told The Drunks I Knew Karate", which pretty much tells you everything you need to know. The song and clip choices complement one another perfectly, and the tone of the vid is spot on with the series itself.

You Told The Drunks I Knew Karate: Oh, Ponds.

I should probably have mentioned that all of these are from Vividcon, which I did not attend but looked forward to because I knew there would be great vids afterward. This next vid was the "intro", and it might just be the day I'm having, but I totally cried. FANDOM, you guys! AND VIDDING! *hugs everyone*

Intro Vid 2011: Welcome all

This next vid covers a whopping SEVENTEEN YEARS (some of which overlap, but still) of footage. All Stargate, all the time (and it says something about the Ancients that I agree with...I think!).

High Voltage

There is not enough "How To Train Your Dragon" out there. Just sayin'.

Roll With the Changes

Heh, "Thistle and Weeds" is one of my least favorite songs off that album, along with "Little Lion Man." There are several songs on Sigh No More that are much better.

I'm slowly working my way through their stuff on Youtube and, yeah, Little Lion Man is not my favourite, though I do still like Thistle and Weeds, if only for the instrumental towards the end. I really like Roll Away Your Stone.

Roll Away Your Stone was the song in my head while I was writing that Trek fic a while back, but I think my favorite off the album is The Cave.

I just listened to The Cave this morning, and I like it a lot!
