Window in the Skies

This is my new favourite video clip. My U2 fandomness is based on their early stuff, but this song is growing on me, and just this clip is SOAWESOME.



Love love.

Time Lord of the Rings II

Time Lord of the Rings now has a logo!

"Time Lord" font: FuturistCondensed
"Rings" font: Ringbearer

...and don't you just want to make a tissue box cover of it?

Dude! Photoshop skillz! Not!
I don't have photoshop and I don't have skillz, but nonetheless...



Actually I'm thinking now that Tom Baker is waaay too small. Also character-wise he doesn't make a very good Pippin and he looks like he's about to be sick. I couldn't get the colouring right. But the hair, scarf, and expression still suit, I reckon.

Time Lord of the Rings

The Doctor Who/Lord of the Rings crossover is the brain child of Nuroreiel and the Walk to Rivendell discussion board. Rae's going to write the story, and I've christened the project Time Lord of the Rings, which is now the umbrella for my creative endeavours. Such as this: Gandalf's Regeneration.




Update: I realise, without sounds, this would be much better as an animated gif. But I find gif animators just so darn fiddly. So sucks boo.

Crunching vinyl

new year: new media console.

Some statistics!

I have 19.2 hours of 'rock' music on my computer; 5.4 hours of 'blues'; 7 minutes 'acid' (what's 'acid', precious?); 3 minutes of 'indie' (...and you will know us by the trail of dead); and 2 minutes of 'unclassifiable' (MC Lars. I think he'd like that).

5 star rated songs include: That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore (the Smiffs), Monster (Kate Miller-Heidke), and Barney's Tune (the Grimethorpe Colliery Band)

2 star rated songs include: Meat is Murder (the Smiths again-- too right, I can't stand this song), Mr Oysterhead (Oysterhead), and the entire original Blues Brothers soundtrack-- but I love that album!!!

By year:
Oldest: 1967 (Beatles)
Newest: 2006 (Yonder Mountain String Band)
(not including all the 'unknown', which goes waaay back)
