Stuff and things

Vividcon is in, like, a week and a half! *GLEE* Who else is going? Can I get a show of hands?

- Within the last few months, I've finished rewatches of Buffy, Angel, and Farscape. Now I'm pondering my next big pop culture move.

- jmtorres is our roommate now. It is awesome. She brought oh so many books.

- I really, really, really want to make an album-vid of Farscape a la Luminosity's Scooby Road, but finding good, consistent albums that are also salient to the subject matter throughout is *hard*. This is especially true since I only really discovered music in the era of MP3s, so I don't keep a lot of albums in my head.

- I'll have DVDs for sale at the orphan vids table at Vividcon again. Nothing new, just a repackaging of Volumes 1 and 2 from last year as a single unit. If you have one and not the other, let me know and I'll bring a few single-volume of each as well.

- Poking at a couple different vids here and there. Finished one vid, then decided it wasn't awesome enough, so I unfinished it.

- Went to see Puppet Up! on Friday. Puppet improv from the Jim Henson Company. Dirty, dirty dirty puppet improv. It was hilarious.

- Running Fiasco again at the con. Interest posts at Dreamwidth and Livejournal. There's still plenty of room on both Thursday and Sunday nights.

That's... pretty much everything I can think of right now.

That was my first thought, but the Stones' albums tend to be kind of piecemeal (I was looking at them for a possible Angel album vid that I'm now not doing). They're a better singles band than they are an album band.

I'll PM you with some research on that nostalgia factor, etc.

Awesome. I am so in love with this idea.

Thinking about this further, I kinda think an American band or at least an American-sounding one might work best, depending on how deep into John's POV you want to get. The Eagles? Steve Miller band?

Hotel California is kind of John's story in a nutshell.

I would love this to be a John's psyche thing, but I'm also fond of the ensemble and the pure nuttiness. So... I don't know. I think that I'm not going to be able to perfectly match nostalgia with appropriateness to fandom the way Luminosity did.

I think the album will determine the approach. I'm comfortable in psyche delving, ensemble, and comedy. I'm... less comfortable with shipping, which means whatever John/Aeryn I inevitably do will be the hardest part of the vid.

I imagine there are plenty of people around here who could give you a shipping assist. (:

Hotel California, true! Hee. I agree that the music is going to drive a lot of your creative choices, so obviously whatever you pick should be something you adore.
