Werewolves

[eruthros]

Is it totally wrong of me to imagine a Buffyverse and HP constructed reality vid to Echo's Children's "Least of My Kind?"

We've got Oz and Veruca and "Phases" and "Wild at Heart." And Nina and the werewolf who bites her being killed by a silver pen. And Remus Lupin and, well, not yet in a movie, Fenrir, and Sirius-as-a-dog thumping Remus-as-a-wolf. And, and "werewolves don't usually walk alone / think on the battle-cost; this time the wolf has lost / beaten and broken and blind / better beware, my lord; better prepare, my lord / I was the least of my kind." Especially because film werewolves usually are packless. And Oz's huh would be hilarious used to illustrate beaten and broken and blind. And, and, Buffy and Angel and Sirius and Harry as "my lord" killing them. And, and Willow locking Oz in his cage. And wouldn't it be great?

Or, well, not.

Wow, that sounds very cool! Now we just need a vidder with a thing for filk to put it all together .

And you have excellent taste in music- Stan Rogers *and* Echo's Children? Awesome! (I'm a filker and amateur folk musician- yet another hobby I haven't had time for lately!)

It would be, like, filk of filk, almost. And thus is kind of embarrassing. But the ironic contrast would be great! And it's a really good song.

And yes, Echo's Children and Stan Rogers. I chalk it up to my eclectic-but-tending-folky taste; they're both on my playlist of mellowish folkish songs, which also includes Girlyman and some totally non-folk music. (And, for some reason, Suzanne Vega.)

But filk of filk is *traditional*! Actually, there's an excellent Lord of the Rings filk of Least of My Kind, by autographedcat, called Last March of Gondor" (http://autographedcat.livejournal.com/86489.html#cutid1).

I can't even call my taste eclectic.. I like folk and traditional music, especially Celtic. For vocal music, I want stuff *I* can sing, and possibly even play along to. For the fast Celtic music, I can only aspire to play it as yet!

*facepalm* That was cruel! I was sitting here, listening to a live concert CD, and I clicked on that link and starting trying to sing it to the tune of "Least of My Kind." Despite competing beats and everything. I'm just lucky I wasn't in a cafe or something. I couldn't get "Frodo still carries the ring" to scan the way I wanted it to, but maybe it would be easier if I hadn't been listening to something else. :)

Speaking of folk and traditional music, I have to ask if you've heard my favorite Underrated Cape Breton artist, Mary Jame Lamond. She's not as underrated now as she was when I first heard her, I suppose - she's even had a hit in Canada, I hear -- but I really enjoy her arrangements, and she's frequently recorded live. Plus, she's great fun in concert.
