[saturnsays000]

@CreatureFearing

I LOVE THIS! I am a huge Xiu Xiu fan and this made my night.

[saturnsays000]

I am so happy to read your comment! Making this video was a fun little distraction, and its so nice to read that it was so enjoyable for you, too!

xo!

[SuperPandaluv]

I really enjoyed this song. Makes me feel so contemplative about my own life and the world. Like I just want to go on my porch, put on this song, smoke a cigarette and think.Solid video :)

[saturnsays000]

Fantastic! Thank you for your lovely and thoughtful comment =-)

[saturnsays000]

You are so lovely,

xmeltphace6x!

With best wishes,

S.

[xmeltphace6x]

This song brings back quite a few good/mixed memories, then i scroll down to see what other people thought of the video (i loved it) and all i see is this feud, how unfortunate. Don't let these controversial people get to you Saturn, keep up the excellent work. Je taime the valley OH!!!

[saturnsays000]

Ha ha ha! Look at how **hard** you're trying! You're hilarious! But also kind of sad. I'm not sure how you thought what you wrote might be an insult, but I guess that's just how yer lil' peanut works, eh?

You don't know a single thing about me, because I don't reveal my desperate character through lame comments on videos posted by strangers. You, on the other hand, well... you're an open book.

[anestheticroses]

last word

[saturnsays000]

And, once again, you prove that you have the intellectual capacity of a seven year old. Congratulations! You must feel so smart.

[saturnsays000]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. No. Not so much.

[Oh, and now my boyfriend is laughing at you, too].

[anestheticroses]

your boyfriend doesn't love you and neither do your parents

[saturnsays000]

Ha ha ha ha ha!!!

Aaaaah, I love how small your brain is. I have so much power over you. You can't stop yourself... you need to have the last word, no matter how lame it is, and how lame you make yourself look in the process. You have no dignity. It's really funny =-) =-) =-) Ha ha ha ha!!!

[anestheticroses]

last word

[saturnsays000]

I don't understand why so many youtube users, such as yourself, are such troglodytic fools. Seriously. Where do you come from? Your profile states Canada, and that you're older than me, so why so sadly ignorant? What happened to you? I feel so sorry for you. Please, please, for the sake of humanity, dig deep, search for some integrity, try to educate yourself and join the world of the sane. Start by looking in the mirror and asking "Why am I here? What good am I to society?". You need help.

[anestheticroses]

LOIOOL you need to stop being so gay and fuck off.

FACT - saturnsays000 loves the cock

[saturnsays000]

You're such a juvenile moron. Aren't you embarrassed about being so stupid? I know I'd be, if I were as blatantly unintelligent as you. But perhaps youre too stupid to realize what youve communicated about yourself? Yes, thats probably it

And for the record, silly little homophobic fool, I'm female. So, if stating that I love cock is your idea of a homophobic insult, then youre even more stupid than I thought.

Dont you have anything better to do than troll YouTube?

[anestheticroses]

HOLD THE PHONE YOUR FEMALE?! SHOULDN'T YOU BE IN DA KITCHEN MAKIN ME A FUCKING SANDWHICH?!?? i have clothes you need to clean and spills that require moping

[saturnsays000]

Your life must be so sad, lonely, and unfulfilled. Once again, my heart goes out to you. Im so sorry your life sucks so much. Maybe one day it will get better. Youd have to raise your intelligence a bit first, though. Good luck with that!

[anestheticroses]

i like this song but saturnsays000 is a fag who likes them wayyy to much.

[saturnsays000]

You are a pathetic, ignorant fool. consider yourself banned.

[Curatalo506]

This song is like 5 years old, but still

<3 Xiu Xiu.

as homo as that sounds

[saturnsays000]

Uh, who cares if something sounds "homo"? What would be the problem with that, anyway?

[Curatalo506]

well a homo would mean its useless to society and just helps spread disease

[saturnsays000]

Get your head out of your ass. That is an entirely ignorant and hateful thing to say! I don't know who you think you are, but I am repulsed by your attitude. And frankly, people with your derranged, regressive, and misinformed point o view are useless to society. Your so called world view is a disease that afflicts rationality.

[Curatalo506]

Yah im useless.

Maybe so, but im rich bitch.

I supply society with entertainment.

Go be a liberal hippy, fagg fuck, nerd loser, pussy bitch,

[saturnsays000]

Oh! And I just read that you call yourself a Christian, too. What a joke!

I don't know what reality you belong to, but there is nothing about your attitude that is "Christian". You're a sad, sad, sad hater. Grow up little 16 year old boy.

[ilovethevalleyoh]

haha this song is SICK :)

[andiXanarchy]

Xiu Xiu is phenomenal, and this song is my life. The video is - well, let's be honest - kind of lame. But in a good way. (: It's nice to find people that don't cringe at the sound of his voice. XD I tried to get my grandmother to listen to this. Yeah, she left the room. Lolol.

[saturnsays000]

Of course the vid is lame! It's compiled from collected live journal icons...

Besides that, it was the first one I ever made. And actually the last one, too, who has time for stuff like that? well, unless one is a video artist, which I am definitely not ;-)

[merdapraistocaralho]

worst voice ever

[saturnsays000]

Ah, well, I'm quite sure that is just a matter of taste. There's no point arguing, but I like his voice quite well!

[superbadfrog]

i agree with saturn. thats wut u get when u listen to bizarre experimental bands. his voice may not be the best but neither was bob dylans. regardless u can feel the emotion behind him singing.

[occocooccoco]

nah, not that bad compared to their other songs

[saturnsays000]

I like pretty much all of their songs. Xiu Xiu is one of the more thoughtful bands out there. Support Our Troops is also a fave, but that hardly needs a vid made by lil' ol me!

[FuckStar17]

This is a good song.

[saturnsays000]

Hell yeah!

[saturnsays000]

Thank you so much for your very lovely comment! I love xiu xiu too =-) Well, obviously ;-)

Cool that you met him -- glad the show was so awesome!

[Inyourdreams21]

Thank you! for posting. I LOVE XIU XIU..

I met him last nite in Echo, very kool guy his performance was amazing..

[saturnsays000]

"Madjackyo has made a comment on I Love I Love the Valley, OH!:

lololol @ 2:24"

Hi Madjackyo! I'm so sorry! I accidentally deleted your comment! I meant to hit "reply" and I clicked on the wrong link! Sorry!

Thank you for your comment - I'm glad you foudn that pic funny... it's definitely one of my best lj finds ;-)

[imaginaryannie]

the part where elmo is gyrating to the "la-la-la la-la-la-la-la" is the best part

[saturnsays000]

I'm so glad you also find it entertaining =-) =-)

[sallyheartjack]

AGREE

[Beanybag2]

I love this song, and I have no idea why...I would think the screaming would be a turn off, but I absolutely love Xiu Xiu. And they're from my city. :3

[saturnsays000]

For me the screaming is anything but a turn off... it affirms the protagonist's position, as difficult but essential... it's strong, and a release.

Lucky you that the band is from your city... you've probably had many opportunities to see them, huh? I missed my one chance (so far) in 2005 b/c they were performing the same night I had an event next door. Rumor has it they came to my party after their show, which was early b/c it was all ages <=-)

[kjellmikal]

Very funny little collage! Kind of repackages Stewart's feminist-angle hostility against patriarchic dysfunction into more of a stab at posers and superficiality among young social network users.

Then again, it is a rather non-commital, quasi-aleatoric scattershot of moody humor; perhaps it's more sympathetic to teen angst than it is to self-deprecation and constructive criticism of social hypocrisy.

Overanalysis aside, keep up the delightfully non-sequitur editing style!

Crank Heart next?

[saturnsays000]

Ha ha ha! That has to be the best comment, ever ;-) Thank you so much!

But honestly, anything you read into this video can only have been invested by me in a subliminal fashion. This was the first video I had ever made, and it was comprised solely of material I'd gathered, randomly, over the years. I didn't spend any time planning the layout... it was just instinctual, and not revised through the course of the time line. My computer was crashing too much for that ;-) ha ha!

[saturnsays000]

I would love to see what I could come up with for Crank Heart... if only I could find the time!! That being said, the pressure might be too great, as well... how can one try to beat what was only entertaining by accident?? ;-)

Thanks again. I just loved reading your comment =-) =-)

[bigman1225]

Wow, you use alot of big words, that must mean you're a hip intellectual.

Just kidding.

[kjellmikal]

I thought since my comment criticized hipness and hypocrisy, no one would suspect it was actually a sly, hypocritical attempt to appear hipper than thou. Alas, my shallow cultural elitism has been exposed.

j/k?

[battlemullet]

Hurgh

[saturnsays000]

For all it's worth, I LOVED your comment...

Thanks for the charm =-)

[maxman2613]

The part where Elmo starts dancing during the "lalalalas"(2:03) is absolutely brilliant. Thank you for that!

[saturnsays000]

Ha ha ha!! Glad you liked it ;-)

[ShilohLegend]

haha, some of these are just funny compared to the darkness of the song. heeheehee.

[saturnsays000]

=-) I don't think the song is as much dark as it is resolving and empowering... but as far as the images go, well, I was just working with what I had. I didn't really "plan" the video as much as I probably could have. This is the first one I made, just using images i'd already save to my hd =-). I hope you found it mildly amusing, since it definitely didn't aim for more =-)

[chocfish]

uh, I like the song. But to be honest I didn't really enjoy the pictures.

[saturnsays000]

And you're totally entitled to that =-) The images are pretty particular... all were found via the pages of various gothy live journal users. It's probably a love it or hate it kinda thing, and indeed, I made this for myself as an experiment... not expecting ANYONE would like it, necessarily... <=-)

[Bellausus]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeexcellent.

So satisfying on so many levels.

[saturnsays000]

Oooooooh! Thank you =-) I was shy about putting it up here, but I'm so happy to hear you like it =-)

[MarsFalls]

Completely appropriate.

[saturnsays000]

Thank you!! I'm glad you like it ;-)

I was pretty shy about putting it up here... I was just playing around, teaching myself what I could with the software I had at home before getting started on learning final cut pro for work ;-)

[123name123]

AWESOME!
