Durham County: Hugh song & vid snippets

verushka70I'm seriously bummed that Durham County is over. And yet I was thoroughly absorbed by every one of its six eps (as well as quite disturbed at times). And, omg, rewatching is killer, too. So, aside from the fact that, uh, my Hugh addiction has been as enabled as is possible for an American who can't watch the vast majority of his stuff within these crappy borders... I've tried to give back as well.
TMN has streaming "making of" interview clips for Durham County at http://www.themovienetwork.ca/durhamcou
What Lies Beneath: The Story (downloads as "Durham_story.avi")
The Patriarchs of Durham County (downloads as "Durham_cast1.avi") (HD clips)
The Matriarchs of Durham County (downloads as "Durham_cast_female.avi")
The Making of a Monster (downloads as "Durham_serialkiller.avi")
Durham County: Always Riveting (downloads as "Durham_wrap.avi;" HD clips here, too)
The multi-format (mpg, mov, avi, etc.) video player VLC is best for viewing these.
I also got Hugh Dillon's song Sorry Town from the TMN Durham County streamed-flash audio web site (at http://www.themovienetwork.ca/durhamcounty/music.php) and encoded it as an MP3. This is officially listed on the TMN DC audio web site as: "Sorry Town" Performed and Written by Hugh Dillon Music supervision by Andrea Higgins at Arpix Media
So help yourself to the Sorry Town mp3!
And in rewatching these 6 eps, I'm struck so hard at the complexities of living and loving in the shadow of cancer... the mixed emotions with which one greets the visible (in your face) mortality of loved ones, the fucked-up shit we do to cope with what feels impossible to cope with. Maybe I wouldn't have gotten so sucked into these characters if I weren't dealing with the same thing with my mom, but I doubt it. And the (BIG SPOILER!!) infidelity-that-wasn't-technically-but-definitely-was-emotionally between Ms. Lacroix and Mike Sweeney (Hugh) end spoiler -- the angsty possibilities there beg to be fic-ed, even if it is gen. It's got such fantastic sensual possibilities, given the two characters' personal situations.
*slaps wrist* *smacks forehead*
Of course I won't. Yet. Must finish the Joe/Jerry Bines HCL/FTWHTWD story behemoth first. It's dogging me but I think I've found a way through. (Yet -- dare I say it? -- the plot bunny that hopped into my head re: Sweeney & Ms. Lacroix may prove, more than anything, that I am not so much a slasher as I am an angst-er.) And, hey, in the end, didn't it seem like (DC SPOILER!!) Ray had a way competitive, way-more-than-brotherly unconsummated gay love for Mike? Or was that just me being my weird self? end DC spoiler
