Attention music, art and lit nerds! Are you a well of seemingly useless trivia? Are you a well of wonderful trivia? Did you annoy all your friends with your obsession of any particular genre of music, art or literature? Then Elena Drake wants you to pour your heart out on camera so I can shamelessly use your words and passion to make one or two half hour long episodes a week about the topic of your obsession.

Specifically, I'm shining a spotlight on the things we have available to us here. We have a limited range of the available music and other media (and thank you to everyone who was dropped into this world with their iTunes libraries and iPods who graciously donated their stuff to the radio station), and I'm putting a show together that will educate people about what we do have and let fans celebrate it and talk about their experiences at home. Consider it half informational, half nostalgic in a History Channel format.

The warehouses here are full of things for archival purposes, so I'm specifically looking for artists and art students to talk about the visual art in the vaults, music nerds to talk about the different artists and genres that we've been broadcasting over the radio, and literature buffs who can talk about the classics in our library. Once I know who we have and what you're all interested in, I'll draw up some episode summaries and start scheduling when I can film whom. I'm also interested in doing episodes on everyone's reality-specific holidays and customs if you're willing to talk to me about that.

The working title for this is "Life in a Can". It'll be better when it actually airs. Maybe. Production on this series isn't going to be an official job, but if anyone has experience in television and media production and is willing to donate their time, I could use an extra camera person, as well as a couple of people to help me research and edit each episode. We're going to have a bit of a low budget feel, since the only cameras we have access to are my hand-held from home and my iPhone, but I can give anyone who came with their laptop a copy of the video editing software I have on mine. (In fact, I'm uploading that to the servers tonight, so that anyone with a compatible device can grab it and edit anything they feel like making.) The goal is to do two shows a week: one on media history and analysis, one on a custom or a holiday.

Still dying?

	I'm an artist. I'm best with impressionists, neo and post impressionists, a bit of fauvism and surrealism, and Native American art, though there doesn't seem to be much of the latter in the vaults. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	ex_wanderlus825 2016-01-24 01:33 am UTC (link)
	That is awesome. There's a little bit of everything in the vaults. I'll definitely keep my eyes out for Native American art just to give you an excuse to talk about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I think part of the trouble is that Europeans don't recognise fine art as something functional. A lot of Native art work is found in things you'd actually use, so Europeans see a bag that took a year to make and has been passed down for a couple of generations and think, well that's just decoration. There are some better recognised painters that emerged from the twentieth century onwards, though.

	I prefer to paint, but I've been getting more into wood carving since I've been here. And once the snow's out of the way I'd love to find clay deposits. (Reply to this) (Parent)

I feel like that opinion piece may make or break this marriage.

the 60s and 70s compliment each other well and have their ups and downs, and I'd say that the 60s has some of the most memorable additions to music out of all of them. I like a few things from the 80s but overall 80s pop makes me cringe. I know people either love it or hate it - but I'm a 90s junkie. Annnnd I don't think music has really improved SINCE the 90s, though I, like everyone ever, appreciate the fuck out of Beyonce. But the 90s brought back and merged together SO MUCH great shit.

	It's made more for photographs, but it has the ability to take video as well. I'm usually better in front of it than behind it, but it's definitely a tool that can be used. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm also an artist. Charcoal sketching is my go to, but I did oil painting too, when resources weren't an issue. About 50% of my art happens when I'm having visions, so I never really know what I'm going to draw during those. (Reply to this)

	I'm not entirely sure what a large postion of some of that is. However, I am an artist. Was reading Classics at University and can wax lyrical about the music from my time. So, Opera's, Mozart, Beethoven etc. (Reply to this)

	I happen to be really into trivia! Also, I had my backpack on me when I got pulled in, and I've got a portable hard drive with over 10,000 songs and 1,000 movies on it. (if you want exact numbers, I'd be happy to break it down by genre or whatever). I wasn't aware we had a donation group, I'll totally share. (Reply to this)
