Disturbing and funny. That's what I keep coming back to, and man, is that a hard mood to put off.

I had some trouble with the song, because it was hard for me to hear the lyrics, and I kept getting the sense that the words were really important for this vid. Thanks for providing them on your post; made a big difference on second viewing.

I love the Three Women approach, love how this is both about Cylon-Human romances and still, fundamentally, about women and strength and sexuality and childbearing and the clueless men bumbling through it all -- even Leoben is powerless in every clip of him you used. Nifty.

Thank you:-) It was great fun to make, lots of associations, probably too many and I did rather butcher the song beyond the point of making immediate sense. Damn you Jarvis Cocker for writing too many words! And that's an excellent point about the men, the inherent slight ridiculouness of the male definitely in there.

Argh, that should have been "hard to *pull* off", not "hard to put off". Sheesh.

And I'm glad you had fun with it. It shows. (:

Ooh, Pulp! That was fun... and disturbing. In a good way.

Excellent:-)

The link doesn't work for me, but the vid sounds awesome, so would you mind uploading it again?

Re: New link? aycheb March 17 2007, 19:45:09 UTC

Sorry about that. I've changed the link on the page to one for my site and uploaded a copy to sendspace here.

Re: New link? anonymous March 30 2007, 02:14:05 UTC

Ugh, late again! Re-upload to send space? Again..? Sorry.

Hey, do you mind re-uploading this? The computer I had it on crashed...

aycheb May 1 2007, 19:22:00 UTC

No problem (soon, I will get myself some proper webspace, soon).

Thank you :D

And yes! You need proper webspace, when I do my rec page this is defiantly going in it.

So I'm writing this Cylon meta post of doom which includes links to my personal BSG vid canon, several of which I never quite got around to leaving feedback for, often because they were actually given to me by the friend who got me into BSG rather than me finding them for myself. (that would be projectjulie.

And now I feel a bit bad that I never told you yet that I love this for PULP and REPRODUCTIVITY and, as Julie says, antihumanist techno-spawn; but I see that you linked it with James Tiptree Jr, and I apparently unwittingly plagiarised you in doing that with Sons and Daughters! Or shared a thought process and perspective on BSG, anyway. I'd prefer to think of it as commonality, and I hope you can forgive me. :)

Commonality definitely, we all have our hands in the datastream. I loved your meta post by the way - it really got me thinking.
