2 vid recs: Angel the series and Cowboy Bebop

1. First, the serious sappy tragic vid: Bed of Lies, by Grover. Music by Matchbox 20.

Comments: So you know all those really reeeeeeeaaaalllyyyyyy badly done Spike/Julia vids to like every popular dramatic song ever? This isn't one of those. This is one of the best Bebop vids I've ever seen (definitley the best Spike Spiegel character study vid), and one of the best time-edited vids I've seen of any fandom. The song is perfect. The clips are perfect. Even if you've never seen the show you should download this video. Put it on full-screen and lean back to enjoy.
Spike/Julia/Vicious. OMGtheirloveissodestructive&welltimed!

2. Second, the silly cutie pattooty vid: My West Hollywood Lifestyle (Whatever), by [livejournal.com profile] sockkpuppet (luminosity) and [livejournal.com profile] sisabet. Music by unknown funny person.

Comments: The clips of Leather!Wesley just cracked me up. The words cracked me up. Dead!Gay!Angel cracks me up. These vid makers crack me up.

Oh...wow. You're right, that Bebop video was perfection. It was so well done, so fitting...I loved how it built to a climax that just worked. Definitely the best Spike character study I've seen. Really makes me want to continue the Bebop ficlet I started, or just read other good fic. Dayamn.

It's pretty frelling cool. I've watched it about 6 times by now. I loved the song before; now I have even new reasons to love it.

Want some killer fic while you're still in the mood?

That's the best Bebop fic EVER. Well, it's the best really dramatic ones that make you squeal and laugh and want to cry and rant.

I made a huge list (needs to be updated...::sweatdrop::) one time of quality CB fic, here:

Only six times? ;)

That's funny, because the video actually inspired me to look up that list because you linked me to it ages ago, and I actually read some of that exact fic.

read more, read more! You have to get caught up. It's getting really, really...something. I'll say that "it's getting really" and leave it at that.

as a note, that fic I linked has a sequel, and cuts to the sequel right in the middle of the story, so don't be surprised at the abrupt end. The sequel is also on ff.net
