Brainstorming for Jukebox 2014
Welcome to Jukebox 2014!
Nominations for this exchange will open on the 18th of April, depending on your timezone.
If you're interested in participating, here is a post to talk about songs you want stories for, and gauge or drum up others' interest in those canons.
From the FAQ, here's what I'm defining as a song.
What counts as a song?
A piece of recorded music that includes lyrics* (in any language) and is shorter than 20 minutes. This may include a video.
Songs nominated for this exchange must be widely available. Preferably, there will be a YouTube link or a link on the artist's website or another publicly accessible link. I will create a table of links and lyrics for use in the exchange.
The song must be able to stand on its own without reference to a longer work. I don’t object to people nominating songs from musicals or operettas – but if it would be necessary to understand the whole musical, or the whole operetta, or to read a contextual explanation in order to appreciate the piece, then that piece of music is not appropriate for this exchange.
Songs must also be able to stand on their own without reference to the artist - unless the song is autobiographical, or self-referential in some other way. This exchange is not the place to request musician RPF. In general, actors who appear in music videos are to be treated as characters, not as their real-life selves.
Covers by specific artists can be nominated separately.
You can either nominate a song on its own, or a song with an associated music video. It's possible to differentiate these when nominating on AO3.
Songs that don’t quite fit these requirements, but that fit the goals of the exchange, can be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
*By request, I am willing to include programmatic music - music that does not have lyrics, but where the composer, performer, and audience can agree upon a strong narrative theme. Yes, that's a broad definition - if you have a piece you think suits that criteria, and suggest it to me, I am likely to agree. I will ask you to provide contextual links (a wikipedia page would do). When you sign up, please include in your requests at least one song that does have lyrics, for ease of matching.
See the AO3 collection page for more information about this exchange.
