Nominations Brainstorming 2018

Welcome to Jukebox 2018! This is a fanworks gift exchange in which art, fic, and podfic is created about songs and music videos.

Canon nominations will occur during 20-30 March this year. You can nominate 7 songs or music videos (plus potential bonus round, see below). The rules about what can be nominated can be found here and haven't changed from last year.

Please use this post or its LiveJournal equivalent to discuss what you're thinking of nominating! See also the past brainstorming tag.

For fun, here's a directory of the songs and music videos that were nominated and requested in previous years.

Bonus nominations round
At the end of nominations, if I have enough time, I will ask for further nominations suggestions - these must be for songs & music videos that were nominated in previous years. This is in addition to your 7 nominations.


Sign-ups changes
I am making two changes to sign-ups this year.

First, requests will be visible throughout the sign-up period.

Second, I am enabling the optional details field in the Offers section of the sign-up. These details will be visible only to me and you - not to other participants. You can use this field to give me further information about your matching preferences, if you want. You don't have to use this field. I will read and make note of your preferences but may not be able to follow them - my first priority is to ensure that everyone has a recipient based on the fandoms and media they have offered.

Really looking forward to this exchange!

I’m still working on my final list but I have three definites so far:

Acid Rain – Lorn (Music Video)
YouTube / Lyrics
Warnings: blood, car crashes, death
I find this video fascinating. There’ll be many interpretations of it I’m sure but, for me, its symbolic of death and passing over. The cheerleaders involved in the crash are dying; the dances through the empty diner, led by the weakening driver, are their crossing over, their final fight. After their last dance together, the driver succumbs to her wounds alone.

Zolita – Holy (Music Video)
Youtube / Lyrics
Warnings: hanging, death, forced vomiting
The video tells the story of a group of girls oppressed by their patriarchal school. The main character, Zolita, rebels against the school’s values and forms a secret feminist cult. Her classmate, Edie, who notices Zolita and her lover Lilith escaping classes and doing things they shouldn’t, tells the headmaster. When the cult is discovered, Zolita sacrifices herself and is hanged while Lilith, and the rest of the school, is forced to watch.

Just – Radiohead (Music Video)
YouTube / Vimeo (better quality) / Lyrics
It’s a question that’s been speculated on for decades: why is the man in this music video lying down? The video’s director has said that revealing what the man says would “deaden the impact”, which I agree with, but I also think it’d be interesting to explore something he might have said.
