I don't even know why I'm posting this, I really need to toughen up because I am clearly a princess. (and I really do, cause this is soooo trivial). For the first time I've received a rather bitchy comment on one of my vids. And really I suppose I'm lucky, considering how many I've posted on YT, that this is the first one. Still, for someone to have a go at not just me but the people who liked it is pretty low I reckon. I'm not sure if it's being referred to as "some chick" or that I "have issues" that irks me more.

Though actually it makes me smile because anyone who "catalogues Dean's pain" clearly does have issues. She needs to see the one where I catalog all the times the boys get physically hurt! *g* Or when I catalog how much Dean eats! Or Sam's pain. Hmm... actually... maybe she has a point. I think I DO have issues. \o/

I knew I'd feel better once I ranted. :D Sorry about that. Merrily moving on...

So, I signed up for summer_sam_love and I chose one of my fav Sam episodes "When the Levee Breaks" to make a vid to. And I've been trying to find a song. The best I've come up with is "Meds" by Placebo and as much I think that could work well (especially as I'm thinking of emphasising Sam's living hell), I'm wondering if there might be something better? If you've ever heard a song that shouts out that episode to you I'd be keen to know it. I'm sure there are heaps of songs out there that would match that episode. :)

Also, I'm going to do a wee flist tidy. Nothing that should really effect you all. Just time to stream line. (ooh, that sounds so clinical. It's not. I don't like flist tidying. Probably why I hardly ever do it).

*hugs*

Behind Blue Eyes, The Who. :)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hee! Been there...done that (http://ash48.livejournal.com/54105.html)

Though it's not The Who's version. I did look at that one at the time and as much as I love it, it just didn't have the "feel" I was after.

Good choice though... ;)

[stormcloude]

Ha! I knew someone had vidded it, I just couldn't remember who. How about Head Games by Foreigner?


Or Lonely is the Night, by Squier? I'm on a classic kick, but I think that was a recap vid in the series.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Oh yay - thanks for these. I'll check 'em out. Love the title "Head Games" - that would be ideal. I don't know the song (I don't think), so I'll take a listen and see if it's viddable.

Thanks! :D

[stormcloude]

Good luck finding something! That was one of my favorite episodes from that season.

Oh, and if you want something a little more modern, check out "Too Sick to Pray" by Alabama 3. I can forward an mp3 if you can't find it online.

Sorry for the editing, but I'm having way too much fun with this-- Lithium, Nirvana. >:D

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hee! Yay! thanks... I'll see how I go. I'll let you know if I have trouble finding To Sick to Pray.

Lizzy sent me some songs as well - I think I'm going to make up my own little fanmix and listen to them all. :D

thanks hun! :D

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Eh, Youtube has crazy people. I have received some less than nice comments, but I'm the sort that lol's and sends a facetious response thanking them for their input. Still *raspberries 'em*

Until it was taken by TGRRVE I would have said "Rusted from the Rain" was the perfect choice for your vid. lol. You'd still be fine doing it, especially since this vid is a mish mash of characters, not a straight Sam vid. :)

Also, I just got the worst crack!vid idea while looking for songs for you. Just saying. I'm cracking up just listening to it. *shakes head* Someone stop my insanity. Seriously!

I can think of a few Sam ideas, but they might be more or less possible depending on whether you're limited to just that episode's clips. I can email you a few suggestions. I'll just wander through my songs a bit more. :)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

but I'm the sort that lol's and sends a facetious response thanking them for their input.

Hee! I did just that. I said that they obviously make such brilliant vids that I should be bowing down. I'm laughing now but at the time I'm like.. who the hell takes the time to be so nasty?!

And I KNOW! Rusted from the Rain is like screaming at me. I wonder if that's why I chose the panic room scenes?! I'll wait an see how the vid turns out to see if I could snag it for this. (it was certainly on my mind *g*)

Also, I just got the worst crack!vid idea while looking for songs for you.

:D You and your crack ideas!! \o/ But I wanna see them!! (we should totally collab on one for your crack ideas one day!)

whether you're limited to just that episode's clips.

See this I don't know. It's unlikely that I will be able to stick to clips from the one episode as I will probably want to show what's led him there. I might have to ask the mods - though I think they will be pretty open. I think as long as it about that episode it should be fine.

Thanks!

LOL, I've been called an idiot, sicko, pervert and my videos have been called epic fucking fail, but hey, it's just YouTube.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

What?! *beats them up*

And yeah ... YT. /o\ Don't know why it surprises me..

*hugs*

(oooh, and I might need a kick in the pants with this (is it crack or isn't it?! argh...) vid I'm working on at the moment, if you're not to busy..)

xx

[maichan.livejournal.com]

I'm always available for ass kicking beta help, especially if it involves the slightest chance of crack ;)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Cool. I'll get my act together and send you something soon.

Just not sure what direction it's heading in.... (yet!)

xx

[mithborien.livejournal.com]

Wait, the commenter thinks you have issues because you catalogued Dean's pain? Haha. Isn't that a primary theme of the show? It's hard to make a vid about Dean (or Sam for that matter) and not catalogue their pain.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hee! I know. Kinda weird. I told her the whole point of the vid was to show (and catalogue) Dean's pain. I'm still scratching my head. But at least I'm smiling about it now... :)

xx

[callme-k.livejournal.com]

'Yalegirl88' eh? With a name like that you'd assume she'd be somewhat more intelligent.

Wish I could help with the song but alas, I still suck in the music-finding-department:p Good luck though ♥

[ash48.livejournal.com]

With a name like that you'd assume she'd be somewhat more intelligent.

HA! That's what I thought. :D I should have just ignored it but.... *sigh* got me at the wrong time...

Oooh and I've been given some interesting songs (lizzy sent me some too), so looks like I have some listening to do. :)

xx

[devon99.livejournal.com]

Just ignore the the comments my dear. It's mean and it's petty and it's not necessary. If it's not constructive feedback then why do it? Why take time out of your day to be horrid to a random stranger?

*shakes head*

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's weird. I actually really like congrit - I mean, sometimes it's hard to take but I always appreciate honesty - but when it's rude it just doesn't offer anything.

*hugs* thanks hun.

[ciaimpala.livejournal.com]

I've gotten some of those comments too, and it really hurts, I know. I usually rant about them to some friends, and then delete them and feel better. Don't let them get you down! They clearly don't know talent when they see it.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks hun. Having a little rant has helped no end. I know we offer stuff out there so I suppose it can be expected. But still... it can be hurtful.

And wheee! Leverage icon! I'm hanging out for the next episode. :)

[varkelton]

Mean people suck. Although it's an indication of just how pathetic she is that she had time to go hunt down and attack someone who is so clearly made of awesome. Comments like that just make the commenter look like an idiot. ::hugs you::

[ash48.livejournal.com]

*hugs* you honey. I always remember being told "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all". But I suppose some people need to air their frustration.... or something...

*smishes*

[sothcweden.livejournal.com]

Every time I scrolled into the comments on YT there was someone talking trash, so I stopped reading comments on vids there. Of course, as a creator, you shouldn't have to do that since there're still plenty of nice things said.

I was going to suggest "Down the Rabbit Hole" by Adam Lambert because it's about an acid trip, but after another listen, I think it's too cheery for that ep. Looking forward to the finished product!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Yeah - I've seen some pretty nasty stuff over there. I've been lucky to avoid until now.

I'll take a listen to the song, but hee! if it's cheery.... yeah, might not be ideal. :D

Thanks so much!
xx

[ancastar.livejournal.com]

Aw, honey. I just zipped over to your channel to see what's what. That poster is an idiot and a child (apologies to all the 20 year olds out there who know better). Don't let her get you down. I decided to contribute my two cents to the discussion. If things get stupid, feel free to delete my reply to her comment. I don't want to stir the pot, but on the other hand, there's no reason to let that kind of thing go unchallenged.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much sweetie. (You once told me you had my back and yeah... you do. *HUGS*).

I really should just have deleted it and ignored it. But I was cross and had to say something. Though I will probably delete her comment later.

Thanks again honey. I like what you said :D

xx

[ancastar.livejournal.com]

It's just absurd. So she knows better not only than you but than every single person who liked and was moved by your vid? Please. It's one thing to have a different opinion than someone. It's quite another to say that every other person's subjective opinion is wrong. The arrogance alone of such a stance is staggering.

And yeah, ask anyone, I turn into a mama bear when folks mess with the people I like. :-)

[ash48.livejournal.com]

*HUGS* <33

[greyowl88.livejournal.com]

When I see mean comments (luckily I had nothing on my vids so far)I think of a word invention my friend once made: "oral incontinence". (lol)

I think that person is just jelaous of your wonderful vids. And unfortunately probably way to stupid to understand your reply....*g*

*gives you a "day-after-shitty-comment hug"* ♥ (assuming you read this tomorrow - your tomorrow. Dang time difference.)

I'm glad everybody is throwing songs at you because I wouldn't have a clue what to suggest, lol.

*some more hugging*

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hee! Yes - oral incontinence indeed!

I've been lucky so far in the nasty comment department and I suppose it's to be expected when you put stuff out there for anyone to see. And I need not be such a delicate petal! :)

And yes - lots of interesting songs. I'm going to make myself a fanmix of them all and take a good listen. I'm sure I will find something.

THANKS! Hugs gratefully accepted. (And yep - it's the morning after. :D)

*SMISH*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_sharvie_/]

I haven't seen the post but if he called you some chick and took issue with other people liking it, than that says more about him than it ever will about your work.

Like really. Who doesn't have issues?! *lol* I was watching this comedian and she was all, "Everyone is fucked up. It's the people who don't think they are fucked up that are really fucked up!" *LOL*

I wish I could remember which ep that is. I'd be all with the song recommends. Funny thing is when I put that title into Google...turns out it's a blues song written and recorded in 1929 as a reaction to a flood. So I'm pretty sure it would never work for you but there are about a dozen covers. Most notably by Led Zeppelin and A Perfect Circle. I'm pretty sure I have the Perfect Circle cover if you want it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_the_Levee_Breaks

The context though reminded me that Linkin Park did a song about the New Orleans flood called "The Little Things Give You Away". Not sure if it'll work but it's a beautiful song.

So yeah, what's that ep about? *g* As for the commenter....I'll set Dean on him. ;P He's gotta have someone catalog his pain. Just look at all that beautiful angst! How could you not?!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Hey sweetie!

Yeah - you know I really shouldn't have taken any notice. The person sounded pretty stupid, but you know me. Damn princess about these things. Hee! The "issues" thing really did make me smirk. I've never questioned that I do have issues... I have one big issue called VIDDING!! *G*

When the Levee Breaks is the one where Sam is locked in the panic room. He then hallucinates and it gives the audience a chance to see the inner struggle he is having. Castiel then frees him and he returns to Ruby and it ends with that awful moment when he strangles Dean and walks away from him. It's so intense and wonderful. It's so viddable too - the way it's shot is a dream.

So...yes. A suitable song. I'm thinking something equally intense - or at least with lyrics that match his thoughts. I'll check out the actual song the ep title is from - I didn't think of that.

I've been given quite a selection, so I'm going to see if I can get them all and take a listen.

(ooh and I'm half way through my next vid but I've hit a stumbling block. Might send it over. Though I did promise myself I wouldn't do that until I have the whole vid completed..*facepalm*)

Thanks,
xx

[http://users.livejournal.com/_sharvie_/]

Send it! Send it! I'm leaving town on Friday for a cruise with my mom but I should be able to take a quick look and maybe help you over the block. :)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_sharvie_/]

p.s. Totally scoping out songs.
Perfect Circle: Weak and Powerless seems to fit
I love Passive but not sure it'll fit.

[yourlibrarian]

Honestly, I'm always impressed when the comments on YouTube are intelligible. There's nothing like looking through YouTube comments to feel depressed about the intelligence level of the English speaking world (can't comment as well on the rest of it). Sorry, though. I've never seen one of your vids deserve less than praise or thoughtful commentary.

Re: songs, I saw your previous request but figured I've done my share of 2 cents offerings ;) However, given that you're still looking, have you considered using Aerosmith's "Dream On"?

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Honestly, I'm always impressed when the comments on YouTube are intelligible

Hee! Yes. I've seen some pretty woeful stuff and I have no idea why I took notice of this. I think because it was for Hurt it made me a bit ...um...upset. Now if it had been for "Take Me to the Hospital" - I would totally get their point! :)

And I like your offerings. In fact I started vidding that other song you mentioned, but I've been distracted with other vid projects. ;) Also, the idea I had for it didn't pan out like I hoped it would. (though it's still on the back burner - I'd like to have time to make a "yay! Season 6 is on it's way" vid and that song would be great. :) )

And I'll add Dream On to my listening mix. Thank you! :D

[yourlibrarian]

I'm not sure what direction you wanted to take with the vid (as you mentioned with the other one, that can make a difference) but the lyrics seem very fitting, the tone is good, and it has a lot of instrumentals that could be edited down for a short vid if you're trying to contain things to a single episode.

[ash48.livejournal.com]

Sounds good. Initially I was thinking that it would mostly be about Sam, but Dean has some pretty important moments in there too - so I haven't decided how I'm going to show both stories yet. The song will play a bit part in that I imagine.

Off to listen now.
