It's 6:30 am and that line is still funny.

Just read this in a fic:

"I gotcha."

DEAD SAAAAAMMMMY!!!!!

ita has ruined porn for me.

scrambled eggs: okay, I knew JA could sing, and I knew in that one ep he was down-playing how well, but I'd never actually heard him sing for real.

Oh my fucking god. Where the ever lucking f*** did that VOICE come from? He wasn't even trying hard. I was actually trying to figure out how the video I was watching was dubbed, because that voice was so completely unexpected and alien and beautiful.

I guess I was expecting something like CK's voice, which sounds a bit like his speaking voice, is too growly, too twangy, and you can hear the effort he puts into it.

How can JA sound so completely transformed and be LAZY about it? /fangrrrls hard

let me clarify that I was listening to The Weight. I've found a couple of others that are just silly and are exactly like how I think of CK.

Link, Julie? Or an ID? Is it footage of the Italian con?

Bev: [link]

Jus in Bello con. Was that the Italian one? Yes it was.

It's not a perfect performance, but it's still mind blowing.

More history than you wanted to know about Jensen singing in public:

He sang backup with a bunch of other people on two of Steve Carlson's albums, about five songs all told. He sang harmony to Jason's lead on Crazy Love at a friend's wedding, and the footage wound up on YT. Manns was a guest at the 2006 UK Asylum con, and talked Jensen into singing harmony with him on Crazy Love onstage; again the footage wound up on YT. Jensen also has done solo gigs at a small club in LA, usually when Carlson or Manns has been the main act. He's also done harmony onstage with them. In each case, he sang a soft, easy tenor, so as not to overshadow the lead or other singers.

Jason has his own studio, and he got Jensen drunk one night and talked him into recording Crazy Love so Jason could sell the cd single at an upcoming con--I forget which one. Jensen agreed. Jason then goaded him into taking a solo verse, and urged him to do the soft pop-ish tenor he'd been doing. But Jensen gave it the rough-edged country delivery, and it was actually much better.

So Jason put up a dl link and a paypal button, and also sold the cd single both at the con and online. And more people got to hear Jensen sing. He cowrote a couple of songs and sang harmony on a later Carlson album. He sang harmony onstage last fall on CK's birthday at Kane's Portland club gig. But the first time he actually played and sang lead, and used his actual voice, at a con was JIB. I hope he does more of it--and feels comfortable enough to do it on home ground.

(End useless music trivia)

What's absolutely wonderful is how dorktastically shy he is. It's not an act of "aw shucks, I have to singm haha I'm awesome?" but a sincere "please don't hate me when I suck".

Of Desire And The Status Quo (DA crossover) has the penultimate chapter up.

And sansday finished her "Cas is a douche!" verse. With a tenuously upbeat note. I have to remind myself repeatedly that sansday is not sansdatelimite. One I like and fear, one I'm middle-of-the-road on.

To people drawing pornshirtless Winchesters: TATTOOS, people! Also, handprint.

Oddly, I actually kinda liked the final chapter in the "Cas is a douche" saga. As f***ed up as it was. Reminded me of another little fic I like by rosaline_kells called Green and Gold or something like that. Also f***ed up.

Off to finish the DA crossover!
