Jun. 26th, 2007 08:40 amEvery so often, I get the urge to vid, in the way where I hear a song and think "oh, that image would look really cool there! And so would that one and that one and that one and -" However, this is something that I will never actually do, because I am the laziest lazer to ever laze on this planet and vidding is hard. And also I don't have the technology.
It still makes me happy to think about, though, because I always enjoy music more when I can place it in a context. I'm kind of a story addict in all forms, and I like when my music fits into stories, and having songs that I can associate with my fiction. (This is one of the reasons I love musical theater so much: premade context!) I also love stealing other people's playlists and seeing what songs and stories make sense to them when put together. In part because of that whole lazy thing, making other people do my music hunting for me seems like an eminently awesome plan.
This is all rambling buildup to the fact that I am starting a meme! I think. It's probably been done before. And it probably won't catch on. But I hope it does, because I think it's fun:
Name a fictional character in comments, and I will upload (or at least link to lyrics, if it's protected) a song that I associate with them and explain why.
