Fan vids

I heard a couple songs on the radio last night and they immediately struck me as good vidding songs. Which is a bit odd, as I don't vid (I barely have time for doing fan art, I'm not learning a new form!) and I don't usually think of songs in terms of vidding.

But I've never encountered a vid done to any Jayhawks song, and I haven't found a vid for Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip , but the Jayhawks' 'I'm Gonna Make You Love Me' struck me as a good match. Happy, romantic pop fluff on the surface, with an underlying layer of creepy stalkerism. Works for the dysfunctional 'ships on Studio!

The other was Nik Kershaw's 'Wouldn't It Be Good', which I haven't heard in years. I'm an 80's girl, sue me. Couldn't help thinking of Moonlight and in particular, Mick St. John's unease with his own existence. As I'm a non-shippy fan, a vid of just Mick & his struggle to that song would be most excellent :)

It has arrived. I am, of course, speaking of my 'stimulus check', which in my reality is an electronic deposit and in the greater picture is a really bad idea born of political pandering that won't help the economy and will drive the US further into debt. 

So comes the big question: what to do with it? Spend it on retail items and 'boost the economy', or save it/pay bills and boost my economy? I'm planning to split the difference and do neither. I've made an appointment for my dog C.J. next week at the vet for her annual checkup and booster shots, which will take up a goodly chunk, and I expect the balance will be going to my eye doctor as I'm pretty sure I need a new prescription for my glasses. Heck, I hope $600 will cover those two things!
