ARG! I can't make up my mind.

So, I finally decided that I'd do a Torchwood vid for the Vividcon premieres show this year. I'm a little freaked about doing a popular fandom instead of my usual "now what's that, again?" fandoms of one, but that I can get over. What I can't seem to get over is deciding on the freaking song. I have two really strong, very different songs that I'd love to do... and a third, but I think I might save that for another time. One is currently very popular on alternative stations, which makes me trepidatious --probably within the next week, there will be about 50 vids from the emo girl YouTube vidder types to the song, and I will hate that I chose it. But I love the song. I do. And they can't make me like it less, but it will leave me feeling like maybe it was less appropriate for the con audience.

And the other two are to R.E.M., which is who I vidded to last year at the VVC premieres show (my and Jo's "I Remember" for Charlie Jade). And that makes me feel like I'm being very one-note and predictable (not that I'm not already, but...). So I don't know what to do! And I better get hopping pretty soon, too. I'm actually losing sleep over this! And that calls for a poll, right?

You are obscenely talented and I'd love any Torchwood vid you did. What is the other song you're thinking about?

I'm not a big REM fan, so I'm not the right person to give you advice on this one. All I'll say is, I'd love something upbeat!

Ha. Ha ha ha ha. Slaps your knee, and laughs. You know me!

There is no such thing as too many vids to R.E.M. songs. I'm just sayin'.

And, okay, I think I forgot to tell you this at the time, so: renenet and I watched Charlie Jade a few months back, purely because of "I Remember," and the show was pretty good, but the best part about watching the show was that having seen the show makes the vid EVEN MORE AMAZING, which frankly I hadn't been sure was possible. I was blown away all over again.

Yay, another REMer -- it's weird, for years and years, I haven't wanted to listen to my discs, and then last year, it was like whump! I couldn't stop listening to things I hadn't listened to in decades. And everything seems like a vid song to me! I'm driving around with the volume at ear shattering levels and going, "Oh! This one's more perfect! No, this one!"

Thank you so much for saying such kind things about the vid. I confess, I keep hoping that somehow all the interest will generate a fandom, but it doesn't seem to be happening, so I will just have to be happy that at least people are trying it out. ANd yeah, it does make a little more sense. :) It was like they gave that thing to vidders as a gift, almost. Here's this tapestry, now reweave and weave some more into it, and just have fun.
