That song, named!

[caffienekitty]

The radio station has finally gotten back to me about that song they played this weekend. It's a relatively new one from a (currently Vancouver-based!) Canadian band "Econoline Crush" called 'Dirty'.

Listening to Dean's ringtone heard at the end of this handy vid of Season 2 Music (starting at about 7:53) and then the opening to the song I heard it's.... definitely not the same.

In my usual morning pre-caffeine fog bank it sounded really close, but it's definitely not right. It goes up where the other goes down. Also, it's not classic rock and the band is listed on wikipedia as "Industrial metal/Alternative metal/Post-grunge/Alternative rock" so using it as Dean's ringtone would have given Kripke hives or fits or something. :-P

But am I totally delusional here, or does it not sound close at first listen? And see what I mean about the horndoggyness?

I agree it does sound close. I think maybe because of the distortion on the intro of the song mimicks the distortion on Dean's ringtone.

[kriptkeeper.livejournal.com]

It does seem close! LOL, yes - the horndoggyness is apparent. Maybe I just see SPN in everything, but the whole 'little black dress' thing reminded me of the crossroads demon, and at the end of the vid when the guy gets into what seems to be some kind of classic car, I sort of did a mini-squee!

[caffienekitty]

Yeah, that's the closest part of it, I think, and the tempo seems close.

[caffienekitty]

Heh, my computer's so old, the vid was too jerky to make out most of what was going on visually. There was a car?

[kriptkeeper.livejournal.com]

Right in the last like 15 seconds, the guy - that The Girl just finished with - gets into a car, and it's shot from like the passenger's footspace. The reason I think it's a classic is the steering wheel, it's that kind of look. Wow, I have just way over-analyzed this!
>.> I see SPN everywhere...

Yes, yes, I can see how you could mistake them... Like the song (and the vid) but it does make me giggle at the idea of Dean confronting the singer, who has make-up :P

[caffienekitty]

Well, of course! It is everywhere! *nods*

[kriptkeeper.livejournal.com]

=D Yes, yes it is!

[caffienekitty]

Well, yeah, because there's a whole different level of make-up between none and, say, a group like "KISS" with the full-on cat-faces and such-like. Anything in between is not fully committed, and wishy-washy. Or something. *nods... vaguely*

[anniehow.livejournal.com]

Ok, point taken, but that's emo eye-liner make up!!

Maybe it just makes me giggle because I've seen people making icons and manips of the Winchesters with eye-liner and it never fails to give me a *wha-?* moment

[tigriswolf]

What do you want for your birthday?

[phoenix-rose-up.livejournal.com]

yes it does sound very much like Dean's ringtone... Im going to say its those couple notes in the Econoline Crush (i didnt know they were Canadian!!) song that couple of notes that are relativly close together repeating before they go up to a higher note is very much like middle-ish section of Dean's ringtone :)

(I'm trying to describe this as clearly as possible and I think its failing!!)

but YAY for finally getting an answer eh?

[caffienekitty]

There are quite a few things going on in manips and icons that give me a *wha-?* moment. :-D

I have no idea what it is about guys wearing eyeliner. I think I'm the wrong generation to understand, probably. :-)

[caffienekitty]

A day off work? :-D I have no idea.

[caffienekitty]

Yeah, I get what you mean. It's got that "duh-duh-DA-duh-duh" thing going on. The radio station may be low-tech, but they are relatively good at returning e-mails. It's just no one was there over the weekend to answer them. :-)

[phoenix-rose-up.livejournal.com]

hahah well you definatly pegged the "wont hear back till tuesday" part lol

and yes thats EXACTLY what I mean... lol

[lexibaby.livejournal.com]

First listen: Totally sounds the same. I must have a hearing problem too, then. ;-)

[tigriswolf]

No, sillyhead! Give me a prompt or request.

[caffienekitty]

Ohhh! Well in that case... How about this?

(Gen) Season 3 post 3.12 Dean (fated, not dark, not empowered), approaching his crossroads due date, fighting to save a rapidly darkening (empowered, but not overtly so yet) Sam from himself, stuck alone in some dire, hopeless-seeming situation, suddenly remembers writing his own epitaph in high school. ;-)

[tigriswolf]

Hmm...

[caffienekitty]

Or, y'know whatever. Anything Gen is good. I never expect anything for my birthday, so I'll be thrilled regardless :-)

[caffienekitty]

Something about that guitar, I think.

[tigriswolf]

Does it have to be gen? *sadface*

[caffienekitty]

Well, I only ever read Gen, and a tiny bit of het occasionally. :-/

No worries though. I never expect anything on my birthday so I'm touched that you noticed and offered. Thank you! :-D

[tigriswolf]

Did you know that icon moves?

[caffienekitty]

*glee* Yes! Yes it does! I made it that way to fake people out and make their day a little more surreal ;-)
