Beautiful Machine/Show Me What You See

[meddow]

1. Passing the Torch by calapine is the funniest thing I’ve read in a very long time. Donna takes over from the Doctor as the Last of the Time Lords. Go. Read. Now.

2. I bought the new Shihad Album, Beautiful Machine. Shihad are one of only two bands I’ll buy an album off without having to like at least two singles off it first (the other being Muse). Oh, it is so good that they’re back to being happy-ish again, after the (justifiably considering what they had been through) very angry Love is the New Hate.

3. On that note, I have decided One Will Hear the Other is the ultimate New Series Doctor/Companion shipping song. (One will hear the other/One will heal the other/One will free the other/It’s all the same same same)

4. I watched The Three Doctors and have one complaint, there wasn’t nearly enough of Two and Three bickering with each other. There was a lot of those two bickering, but I think they should have just dropped all the plot and had four episodes of Two and Three bickering in the TARDIS with occasional interruptions from the Brigadier and Benton both in maximum snark mode.

5. My Brigadier love grows stronger with every serial I see him in: “Three of them. I didn’t know when I was well off.” (Come on RTD, you know you want to bring him back).

6. I will be very disappointed if the Ten/Donna/Martha team do not have as much fic written about them as Nine/Rose/Jack

7. Because I don’t like making major posts elsewhere and not linking to them in my personal LJ, my Donna posts at loves_them_all are here (the meta) and here (the picspam).

3) Totally have to find this song now. =D
4) I AGREE. Especially since in The Five Doctors they're back to bickering even after leaving last on good terms.
6) YES.

I really need to watch The Five Doctors.

As for the song, well here's the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jp72Zh9zRiQ)

...I find I have the sudden urge to make a Three/Jo video. I'm not sure why it was them that came to mind first -- it fits them really well, but it fits a lot of them well.

It really does fit so many of them. I've been considering vidding it for Rose, Martha and Donna for a couple of months now, but my computer isn't quite up to it and the one vid I've ever made is another Shihad song and I don't like the idea vidding a band more than once (or at least not two times in a row).

I haven't really listened to a Shihad album since The General Electric which by all accounts was great, and which I do own (somewhere). I just got muddled when they turned in Pacifier, and then back again and I haven't really hurt much since.

Beautiful Machines is them sounding much more like The General Electric then they have been doing, albeit a bit more melodic and mainstream in places. I'm not a big fan of the Pacifier phase. And while I do like it, Love is the New Hate is a difficult album to listen to unless you're in a really bad mood.
