thefourthvine | Poll and Miscellany

Three things, almost entirely content free. (But one of them is a poll! There will be clicking, and that's always fun, right?)

I swear I will have actual content in this LJ again. Eventually. In the meantime -

Remember the poll? Um, this one? Thanks to everyone who took it, by the way, and I am slowly working my way through the comments, because they are meaty and thought-filled and fun. And I'm knee-deep in meta about it, but it's taken a strange turn. So I'm hoping that some of you will do my a favor, and run a poll like this one:

[Poll #831564]

Basically, I want you to ask your friends what archetype they think you are. (I've alphabetized the archetypes to make finding them easier.) And while you're here, please do pick mine; I'm truly curious to see if there's a difference between how I see myself and how others see me. (In this sense only. I'm not crazy.)

Sadly, I don't have bribes to offer. But if you do run a poll like this, and you also drop me a link in the comments here, I will be forever grateful. And you will be furthering the cause of meta. (I know, I know, it's not precisely ever fan's dream, but - stay with me, here, okay?)
This is driving me insane, so - okay. I collect what I call genderswapped songs. Although, really, I should call them ungenderswapped songs - the song is covered by a singer of a different sex than the original one, but no gendered element of the song is changed. I have one song by Cam Clarke, from Inside Out, which is a whole CD of songs just like this. (The one I have is Son of a Preacher Man.) And I cannot find the whole CD anywhere. Does anyone have a copy of this? Or know where I can get a copy of this? I am experiencing the anguish of the thwarted collector, and it is not pretty.
This is more of a bonus item; I found it interesting. If any of you watch AMVs - and if you don't, why not? - you might want to take a look at this AMV-related survey.

Turns out I don't have the Lyle Lovett cover of "Stand By Your Man" anywhere rippable.

Darn. I must find this, because that is just a fantastic concept.

What I have is a little different - it's "Jesus Christ Superstar (A Resurrection)", with Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls singing Jesus (a full octave lower than the original-broadway-cast guy.)

OMG. Thank you so much. And - does this mean there was actually a production of JCS with Amy Ray playing Jesus? Because that would be too wonderful for words.

I don't think there was an actual production of JCS with Amy Ray - it was an Atlanta-music-community project I think in the mid-to-late nineties. Emily Saliers is Mary Magdalene, and the other musicians are less big names, but very good. There's a new song added that's a sort of funky-jazzy-rap that starts "Jesus is back... in the nineties... with a new funk!" I really enjoy it - though the reviews on amazon are startlingly bad! :)

The Replacements did a love song that you might enjoy - it's not exactly genderswapped, but it's called "Anadrogynous" (it was misspelled on the original release). Includes such great lines as:
"Now, something meets Boy, and something meets Girl
They both look the same
They're overjoyed in this world"
and the chorus:
"Closer than you know, love each other so
Androgynous"

I do have it in digital format. If you want it, let me know.

Coming into this a little late, but I uploaded the Lyle Lovett song for you: http://www.sendspace.com/file/4r7prm
