AGH this vid leaves me stunned. I've watched it multiple times now and I still think my favorite moment is that first line of "with our machinations and our palindromes" with the shots of the Timelord and the Dreamlord, as their own metaphorical palindrome. Your choice of song each week continues to be inspired, I'm amazed that you manage to pull the perfect choice each week.

*hugs* thank you, OMG! I was really glad this version of the song exists, because that line was the reason Imitosis was such a strong front runner when I was looking at songs. I may have done some clappy glee hands when I realized that this version didn't just keep that whole verse, but the whole song was built around it (and way creepier in tone). Or...did I come first and Imitosis is expanding on it? I, actually don't know, and now I must go look up which came first.

I'm babbling now, shutting up :)

"I" came first, and "Imitosis" is the expansion on it. Ditto for "Skin" and "Skin Is, My" -- Andrew Bird likes to return to songs and play with them some more a couple of albums later. But although I like "Imitosis" better as a song, I think you chose the perfect version of the song for this video.

(And now that I've figured out you may or may not be familiar with Bird's whole oeuvre, I'm linking you to this to explain what I meant in my other comment about the awesome intensity of "Why".)
