What is the soundtrack to your fandom? And why?

While I'm not the most musically inclined person around there are still certain songs that remind me/make me think of certain fandoms or the ships within them.


The Avengers
Because I'm Awesome - The Dollyrots -  I love this song for Mrs. Peel. All the lyrics just fit her perfectly. There's no-one more awesome than Mrs. Peel. :)
My Life Would Suck Without You - Kelly Clarkson (Glee Cast Version) - This is my favourite song for Steed/Peel - both awesome on their own but together they're so much more. It's my greatest fandom wish to one day see a Steed/Peel fanvid made to this song.


Moonlighting
The Tracks Of My Tears - Smokey Robinson and The Miracles - This is very much David's theme. Head over heels for Maddie since the first time he met her all he wants is a little reciprocity. Always the joker on the outside when in reality he's broken inside.


Supernatural
Don't Fear The Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult - Dean's favourite Mullet-Rock. The whole spirit of the show can be found in this song.


House
Love Me Dead - Ludo - Thanks to this trailer for the show House always makes me think of this song. It really does fit the character
Teadrop - Massive Attack - The song used for the original theme tune. I love this one for the show a lot more than the replacement score the Australian version of the series has. The whole heartbeat-beat medical angle of the clip fits so much better too.


Buffy The Vampire Slayer
The Album - Sometimes a show does it best themselves. This is without a doubt my favourite CD soundtrack of all time. Listening to this one always takes me back to those highschool days of watching Buffy during its initial run and excitedly discussing it the next day with friends. Love it! :D


Life On Mars
The Album - Another official soundtrack done well. I love so many songs on this one - especially those that relate to Sam and his journey trapped in the past. A good driving album which also suits the show really well. :)


Firefly
Defying Gravity - Despite belonging to a completely different fandom Firefly is the one that first comes to mind whenever I hear this song because of this truly brilliant fanvid by y_fish.


Star Trek XI
Circus - though I never would have thought of it myself a little Britney Spears is just perfect for Captain Kirk. This fanvid by butterfly  shows exactly what made the latest Star Trek movie so very awesome. And anything that can make you actually enjoy Britney Spears is worth a look. :P
 

DAY 19: Best TV show cast



Not much to say here except I love everyone of these actors and the way they made their own characters so endearing in their own individual ways. It's not often I love every single character in a TV show but Firefly was probably the first for me (Pushing Daisies would be another). Even the secondary/guest characters such as Badger and Saffron were fantastic and played to perfection by the actors cast. I just love how well these nine people get along so well with each other both on and off screen It's a tribute to this amazing cast that the show and all its characters are so well loved and enduring for so few episodes made. :)

DAY 07: Least favorite episode of your favorite TV show



The only thing harder than picking a favourite episode of Firefly is picking a least favourite. For me though I'd have to say that would be 'Heart Of Gold'. Not that the episode isn't great in its own right, but the more westerny themes and storyline just doesn't appeal to me so much. I'm a sci-fi girl through and through. And while this episode may not be my favourite I still love the developments in the Mal/Inara relationship ("I've been waiting for you to kiss me since I showed you my guns"), Wash & Zoe's discussion about having a family and this exchange:

"Wash, tell me I'm pretty."
"Were I unwed I would take you in a manly fashion."
"Because I'm pretty?"
"Because you're pretty."

DAY 04: Your favorite show ever



This could really have been a number of different shows. It's more than impossible to pick a favourite TV series of all time but, following on from yesterday, Firefly definitely deserves a huge mention. Part science fiction/part western Firefly is the story of nine different people who travel together through space in a Firefly class spaceship doing any kind of jobs they can in order to keep flying and remain free from the conformities of  the modern system of government. With its strong and nuanced characters and clever writing Firefly is quite easily my favourite Whedon venture despite its very short run. That's not to say that I dislike the rest of Whedon's work, there's just something about the heart of this show and it's idea of freedom, and what that means, that really speaks to me. While Buffy will always be my first love Firefly is my true love.

Warning: This video contains some spoilers for both Firefly and the movie Serenity.

Picked up from       lovestories

Pick your five all-time favourite fanvids, the ones which made you laugh or cry or kicked you in the guts, that inspired you to offer the vidder internets and first born sons, and tell us why you loved them. Any fandom, any pairing, any genre - the only requirement is they stood out from the crowd. Also, links or it didn't happen.

( In no particular order... )

Here it is. My long overdue account of what I did on the weekend.

My little sister and I took a little trip to the city to see Jason Palmer, Ron Glass and Nathan Fillion.

For those who want to know more follow the cut.

Also I have now seen the pilot episodes for Drive, Pushing Daisies and Reaper.

Drive was very entertaining. I thought it had much 'Lost' potential. I can't see why on earth it was cancelled except that we all know what network it was on. >:(

I absolutley loved Pushing Daisies. I can't wait until it starts up here so I watch the whole season.

Reaper though didn't interest me at all. It seemed rather average to me and none of the characters were all that interesting. Does it get better?
