Nominations are open
2016's nominations are open! The tag set is here.
Nominations will close at 23:59 (i.e., the last minute of) 26 March 2016 in EDT. That link should give you the corresponding time in your own time zone.
Nominations have two stages:
Step 2 isn't mandatory, but it's really helpful when I make a large table of where to find all of this year's canons. And that table is helpful for getting other people interested in the pieces YOU want to receive or create a gift in.
And of course, step 0.5 - if you're not quite sure what to nominate, see the brainstorming posts on Dreamwidth and on LiveJournal - and past posts tagged with "brainstorming" - to get and give ideas.
To nominate, go to http://archiveofourown.org/tag_sets/1117 and click the "Nominate" button at the top right. You will need to be signed in with your AO3 account. If you don't have one, request one now at AO3, or ask me.
You will see eight blank spaces for your nominations. You don't have to fill them all in at once.
Very few songs are already listed on the AO3, so you may be creating new fandoms. This means they won't auto-complete or appear in a drop-down menu when you're typing them. That's okay.
The preferred AO3 format for songs and videos is:
Song Name - Artist (Medium)
If you have a specific cover artist in mind, use them.
For example,
Mykonos - Fleet Foxes (Music Video)
Mykonos - Fleet Foxes (Song)
Lilac Wine - Jeff Buckley (Song)
Lilac Wine - Nina Simone (Song)
For some types of music, a different (Medium), such as (Ballad), (Spoken Word Piece), etc, may seem more appropriate. Go with what seems sensible to you. (Song) is an okay catch-all.
Please check the spelling carefully when you enter your nominations.
Once you have submitted nominations, you can edit each one until I've approved it. You can do this by going back to the tag set, clicking "My Nominations", then "Edit". You don't have to choose all eight of your nominations at once - you can enter some nominations, submit them, then come back and fill in the rest a little later, again by using "Edit Nominations".
When I've approved a nomination, it may not show up instantly in the tag set, but should show up within a couple of days. Meanwhile, I'll keep the LJ and DW communities up to date.
When you comment with sources for the music you've nominated, here is what is useful:
-the name of the piece & artist
-a link to some online source (YouTube etc)
-a link to lyrics.
The genre of the song, if you know it, is also helpful.
If you'd rather email me (jukebox.mod@gmail.com) than comment on LJ or DW, that is fine.

no subject
I'll take song-alone on this, too, but come on: women, magic, longing. Is that the same woman, at different times in her life - perhaps different lives? And if they're not the same woman - are the relatives, friends, lovers (<-please)?
Who By Fire - Maureen Nehedar & Rona Keinan Cover (Song): youtube, lyrics
Leonard Cohen wrote this song off a Day of Atonement piyut (pietous poetry incorporated into prayer, but not in itself an article of prayer). In this version, Persian-Jewish paytanit (that is, musician who specializes in this genre) Maureen Nehedar and (lesbian, depression-survivor) rock singer/songwriter Rona Keinan perform it as a duet, with Maureen adding in verses from Atonement Day prayer Avinu Malkeinu (Our Father, Our King; this would be the Hebrew verses, and the title should be google-able).
Journey - Mark Eliyahu (Instrumental): youtube
Mark Eliyahu's music is, simultaneously, Jewish-variant devotional/mystical and West-to-Central Asian; both are his heritage. This particular piece has a cinematic quality, to me - there's a story happening here. The title tells us something about what kind of a story that is, but the rest is open to imagination.
Habib Galbi - A-WA Cover (Music Video): youtube, lyrics + translation
Habib Galbi is a folk song, and the video reads - to me - like a folk tale. Who is the old woman watching? What are the three dancing men? How did the three sisters came to be in that predicament, and how goes their journey to what seems like a happy supernatural ending?
Dancing on Needles - Charlotte Martin (Song): youtube (fanvid; cuts before the actual end, but doesn't lose lyrics and more than suffices; live versions also exist on youtube, but they're all piano-solo acoustic and veeeeeery different), lyrics
This song makes some obvious references to The Little Mermaid, but reads as if it's between two women - and then there's mentions of wars and other things that aren't in Andersen's tale.
