Convenient Parking
Soon the chain reaction started in the parking lot
Waiting to bleed on to the big streets
That bleed out on the highways and
Off to others cities built to store and sell these rocks
Well aren't you feeling real dirty
Sitting in the parking lot

Soon the chain reaction started in the parking lot
Waiting to bleed on to the big streets
That bleed out on the highways and
Off to others cities built to store and sell these rocks
Well aren't you feeling real dirty
Sitting in the parking lot


Convenient parking (is way back, way back)
Convenient parking (is way back, way back)

Waiting to bleed on the big streets
That bleed out on the highways and
Off to other cities built to store and sell these rocks
Well aren't you feeling real dirty
Sitting in your car with nothing
Waiting to bleed on the big streets
That bleed out on the highways and
Off to other cities built to store and sell

There's nothing

Convenient parking (is way back, way back)
Convenient parking (is way back, way back)


Notes: Made for the VividCon 09 "Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations" Challenges vidshow, this is a crossover vid made to a Sun Kil Moon cover of a Modest Mouse song. I was nervous about the buy-in required to make a serious business crossover, but I also figure it's always good to push ones self. There are many, many places where this vid could have gone horribly wrong -- many thanks to elynross for keeping me on track.

Wow, the editing is stellar and the construction is brillant. The crossing over between the two shows is very well done and I buy it completely and utterly. I know a little about Criminal Minds and I watch Dexter, so I can appreciate how difficult it would have been to achieve.

Again, wow.

I find it striking that it's the introduction of the Behavioral Analysis Unit that makes me see Dexter for what they do: a serial killer. Within the confines of Dexter, the show, the character is the one we're with the most. Within the vid, Dexter becomes more of a bad guy than he is in his show. Obviously he murders people, but the vid points to it differently.

Thank you ever so much. The intersection of the two shows is something that's been tickling at the back of my mind for a while -- they're opposite sides to the same coin in many ways, so I'm so glad that I could make them meet for you.

This vid is one of my VVC favorites this year. I mightmightmight start watching Criminal Minds. Nearly everything else I watch so cancelled. :(
