remindmeofthe: (this could be a little more sonic - cred)
Welcome to my very first fanmix! I've never bothered before because I don't usually think in music, but conversations with [livejournal.com profile] 10littlebullets (esp. the one about how David Bowie is obviously a Time Lord), inspired me to find out if I could do one about the Doctor that was composed entirely of Bowie songs.

Hint: yes I could. Easily.

This is kind of a work in progress. The class I took on Bowie's work this past semester only covered, like, a third of his musical output. I may tweak and add to this as I continue listening to albums we didn't cover. Also, the end kind of trails off by necessity, since the arc they've been setting up for Eleven isn't complete yet. You may see more versions of this fanmix in future.

Also I definitely did not make a cover, because my ability in re: visual arts and Photoshop is comically limited. If anyone's bored and wants to throw one together, I'll put it up and (of course) give you credit.

This fanmix is specifically about the Doctor's arc in New Who and how he's dealt with the Time War, his grief and his guilt, and with being the last of the Time Lords. And, most specifically of all, with being the Doctor.

In the event that this fantastic voyage/Should turn to erosion and we never get old )

That . . . that was everything I've been hoping for since the announcement that Steven Moffat was taking over.

I'm too overwhelmed for anything more than this: series five is going to be amazing.
remindmeofthe: (yes! wait . . . - credit I have no idea)
I am so excited for new Doctor Who next month that I keep dreaming about it. Seriously. Last night I had my second dream featuring Eleven in three days. (Amy was there too, I think, but my brain cares less about the companion we haven't met yet than it does about the Doctor.) Dreaming about TV or any kind of media at all is highly unusual for me. Dreaming about it twice in such a short span must mean that my excitement for new Who is so overwhelmingly powerful that I have to process it in dreams lest I explode.

APRIL THIRD YOU GUYS.

You guys are awesome. ♥ I had four different people text me about the Eleventh Doctor, all within like fifteen minutes of each other. (My mom, by sheer coincidence, called at around the same time. I was amused.) Thanks so much!

I have no thoughts on Matt Smith whatsoever, because I've never heard of him. And, for all that I was hoping for someone like Bill Nighy or John Simm, this is what I really wanted. I watch Doctor Who for the Doctor, not the actor who plays him, and now, for at least one more incarnation, it can stay that way. I am stoked. :D

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to wade through the wankstorm that has no doubt already touched down. Oh, fandom. I love you sometimes.
