Er, so this is me showing up out of nowhere and I've only just begun to skim this tinhatting opus of yours (which, wow, lot of work and though, bb! - I'm going to have to come back when I have more time) but I wanted to note a small lyric change:

Let's take a maple leaf vacation is, actually, according to Adam, Let's take a make believe vacation. He tweeted that correction when someone else heard ~Maybelline vacation.

I like what you've done here! I haven't made it to this part yet, but I figured I could skip ahead since you're so excited about it :)

I like this interpretation of Aftermath and pairing it with Lifetime, and the mashup is pretty cool. Re the "make-believe vacation," maybe Adam is saying that he knows this is all fantasy right now, but someday it can be a reality. Or maybe he's answering Kris's statement in From the Ashes, "You've forgotten how to dream awake," by saying that yes, he can still dream. hmmm.

How did you do the mashup? What software did you use? I'm thinking about doing a mashup of a couple of pre-Idol songs by Adam and Kris, but I don't have the software yet. I'm looking at something from AVS or Pinnacle since I already use them for vidding.

Oh, and I think you're absolutely right to pair IIHY and Strut; they do have similar messages, one following from the other.

I'm still not convinced that it's not "maple leaf vacation" even if Adam tweeted out "make-believe." :-) But that's kind of silly. I like your suggestions!

My husband did the mashup with Sony Vegas Movie Studio, but there are probably other programs out there as well that would work.

Someone on Twitter tweeted to Adam that they wanted to take a "Maybelline vacation," which it what prompted him to tweet the correct words LOL! Hey, in this pomo world, what you hear is just as important as what they say, right?

And thanks, I'll check out Sony VMS. I've done a bit of vidding, but not much music editing.
