mixed bag of goodies from different fan-experiences

Music: Mando Diao

Yesterday evening gayadi and I went to a concert of Mando Diao, a group I've been a fan of ever since buying their first album on February 22nd 2003. Since then I've had some bad luck trying to get to see them in concert, until last year when I got to see them in Haarlem, which made me love them even more, and now I've seen them twice. Most of the YouTube clips of their live performances are pretty bad, but I found this one, which isn't their best song, and the audience is weirdly subdued, but the quality of the clip is nice, and boy are the guys cute in this one! Anyway, I had a great evening. It was lovely seeing gayadi again, the audience was enthusiastic and the band was fantastic. So yeah *broad grin*

Music: The Servant - Cells

Last week I mentioned this song, and promised I'd upload it in a next post. A bit late, but for those interested, here it is: (6.6 MB, .mp3) right-click-save and play LOUD!!
The instrumental version of this song was used for the trailer music of Sin City. I've been playing it on repeat a lot since I found it, it whips me up and sends me soaring every time.

Elijah Wood

I'm probably the last one to have seen this YouTube clip of an interview with Elijah on Spyro, but it was new to me, and woo boy, does he look good in this one!

SGA / McShep

Ok shoot me, but I had to make these three caps of a certain scene in 'The Return, part 2'

I'm in love with Rodney's expression of both irritation and embarrassment.


Also I'm in love with Rodney, period.

Yep, I found your Atlantis City pics on my friendslist, as I've friended you back recently :D

*makes notes about music*

I love your recs, they're so heartfelt!

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Ah, music keeps me sane, so yeah, when I rec something, it sure is heartfelt :D

[mirabile-dictu.livejournal.com]

Those screen caps make me squeak with delight. Thank you.

And zikade's caps of the city are beautiful, too. I do love that city. I wish I could live in Atlantis.

Thank you for the music, too!

The best thing about making screencaps is that you can pick a scene apart, and especially with Rodney you get treated to this whole range of emotions flitting over his face, every time.

Awww, Lijah talking about Spyro!

No, you're not the last one to find this... I guess I must be, and I just adore it!

Thank you, darling D_E!

Btw, all my good wishes to your sis in law!
How is she??

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Hee, so there's always someone even later to the party then I am :D

About my sister in law: She's doing well, under circumstances of course. She was operated upon November 16th and got home 2 days later. The operation went well, she's not having a lot of pain and is very optimistic and cheerful. This Monday she'll get the lab results and a definite follow-up treatment will be planned. She'll definitely need radiation treatment (which will mean 6 weeks of going to the hospital every working day for a treatment, starting in a couple of weeks, but with Christmas coming on, she's not sure yet when they'll start), and she'll hear if she'll need chemotherapy.

We're all taking it one day at the time, and since it's so far so good, we're hoping for the best.

Thanks for asking, especially since I'm always horrible about stuff like that and you've got a whole lot on your mind yourself *hugs*

Oops! Sorry you got the wrong reply from me; that one was meant for someone else *blushing*

I take it your *sigh* is referring to the headslapcaps *grins*

[onecheekyhobbit.livejournal.com]

It's cool, no worries... and yes, the sigh is for the boys... the beautiful beautiful boys.

You *did* get to see Mando Diao in the end! Glad to hear it was worth the wait :-).

And I am dying to find out what is happening in that scene. Something got caught in a zipper?

[rodneyscat.livejournal.com]

Oh, ahahaah! So it's not recognizable what's happening when you haven't seen the scene? John reprimands Rodney by giving him a headslap, something he does occasionally, much to the delight of the fangirls, and a source of inspiration for the slash-writers. We're a sick bunch, aren't we?

[plaidpjs.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the tune, it doth kick much bottom!

It's on my list of 'music to be played when I'm ironing', which is an infamous list in this household: whenever I take out my ironing board, people flee the room, and my oldest refers to certain music I play as 'ironing-music', which usually means 'please don't play when I'm around'. Our tastes in music differ quite substantially ;)
