Space Girl

[altariel]

Just as my bags are packed and I'm ready to check out of Hotel Science Fiction, something comes to remind me why I came to stay in the first place. Awesome song vid to Eliza Carthy/The Imagined Village's Space Girl, here. Thanks to redstarrobot for the link.

(The actual video for the song is pretty brilliant too, see it on YouTube here.)

A brilliant song (in a sensible world it would have reached number one) and two marvellous videos.

Perhaps you need to find just the right annexe offshoot from the main hotel? Or else transform the main hotel with subversive acts from within?

And the vid is absolutely splendid, as is the song, which I think you've mentioned before! Thanks for the rec.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I agree!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked! :-) (Yes, I mentioned the song a wee while ago.)

Anywhere but the Travelodge Watford.

Travelodge Watford? On Cygnus Alpha we used t'dream of Travelodge Watford.

ZOMG AWESOME. I must admit I never was too taken with the actual video, but adored the song (it was one of you Lyst gang that linked it) but this, this I like :-D

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Yay, glad you liked! (I linked to the original video a while back, don't know if another Lyster did too.)

"Livin' it up at the Hotel Cygnus Alpha!
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis..."

I'd never previously suspected that Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger had such a great sense of humour.

Excellent video, thanks for pointing it out.

Yayy! Someone else linked to this (was it matildabj? but I had it mixed up with the Babylon Zoo song Spaceboy that was at number one for eighty bajillion weeks when I was an undergrad, so I PAID IT NO MIND. Will watch and joy.

Glad you enjoyed!

OT: scored a p/b copy of Camerons on the hills from the Haunted Bookshop - it's great!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Kept well hidden.

[katlinel.livejournal.com]

Brilliant! I'm still keeping my eyes open for a copy of Camerons at the Castle.

Have just flicked through my copy of Hills (*hugs you*) and it opened at:

'"A little spite in the right place is not a bad thing." Kenny said'

Hee!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

It's brilliant. (I got the link from redstarrobot.)

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Yes! I chuckled at that too!

I presumed you must've been off LJ when I linked to that one the other week, coz I did think it was right up your street! (LJ needs to alert one when one is tagged in a post, really, like (ssh!) FB...)
