jukebox_festWelcome 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.

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.

I love this weird song. It's post-apocalyptic from the narrator's point of view, but everyone else around them is in a bucolic utopia. I'm passionate about cities and sympathize a lot with the narrator, but I could see a story in this setting go in any direction.
Information Society, "I Love It When..."

This 2007 throwback to INSOC's '80s/'90s heyday feels extremely cyberpunk to me. Very little is said; much is implied. The chorus is totally incongruous with the verses. It leaves me wanting to know more about what links all of these places and events and feelings together.
They Might Be Giants, "Pet Name"

The band says this song "is about a slightly sleazy couple with a tenuous relationship to each other and a suspect relationship to the world." There's so much potential here for slice-of-life stories, the seeds of destruction planted in the meet-cute, possible futures, strange and surreal AUs... nothing is ever literal in a TMBG song, so I take that as license to run wild with whatever ideas it inspires.
Marc Cohn, "Paper Walls"

I'm fascinated by this song, which trails away right as it's getting to what should be the heart of it. What does the narrator say on the phone? What happens after the woman in room 502 opens the door? Do they sob on each other about their breakups? Do they have great sex, or terrible unsatisfying sex? Do they go on a road trip together? Do they have a wild "how we met" story to tell at their wedding? What do the last lines of the song mean? And there's plenty of room to interpret the characters just about any way.
