We have several areas that aren't covered by threads. I'm looking for people to host threads on the following:

1. Music:

We seem to have a lot of rock, a little jazz and reggae, and some classical. But there are several genres missing.

Armenian has agreed to host the hip hop/rap thread. We are still short several others:

a. R & B;
b. Soul; (and Neo-Soul)
c. The Blues;*TAKEN*
d. Rockabilly;
e. Country (talking the real McCoy here, not hat acts or Shania Twain)*TAKEN*
f. Folk; *TAKEN*
g. African;
h. Swamp rock;
i. Celtic;
j. Opera (yeah, I know, but I'm optimistic)*TAKEN*
k. Funk; *TAKEN*
l. Asian; *TAKEN*
m. Desert Island: If you were stranded on a Desert Island with a solar-powered CD player, what five CDs would you take with you?*TAKEN*
n. Disco;
o. Techno;*TAKEN*
p. Grunge;
q. Cajun and Francophone *TAKEN*
r. Bluegrass;
s. Gospel;
t. Latin;
u. Punk.*TAKEN*
v. Alt.rock *TAKEN*
w. Satellite Radio--how to get it, what's available, what's good;
x. Syndicated Radio shows (do not have to be strictly music)


Specific artists or groups:

Check the Thread Index first. I am currently in the midst of updating it.

Specific instruments:

There are threads specifically on the following two instruments:

Drums and Guitars

Nothing on:

Banjo;
Violin;
Fiddle;
Cello;
Piano *TAKEN*

100 Great Guitar Solos List: http://guitar.about.com/library/bl100greatesti.htm

You don't have to be an expert. You just have to like the area and willing to give some history, short bios of musicians, and recommendations. Rule of thumb: when the thread falls to page 6, (which takes approximately a week to ten days), it needs updating.

If you are interested, or want to know more, please PM me.

And if you have any suggestions for new threads, please post them here.

TO BE CONTINUED:

Next:

2. Screenplays

a. A list of the 100 best Screenplays have been recently posted here:

http://www.wga.org/

We need a host who will discuss a screenplay per post (starting at 100 and working up).

Ideally, it would help if you have actually written a screenplay, but it's not absolutely necessary. *TAKEN*

b. A technicial screenplay thread. Demonstrate (while giving examples) technical problems and how to overcome them.

3. Animation:

There is a thread on Walt Disney, but nothing on:

a. The history of animation, starting with "Gertie the Dinosaur" and the Fleischer brothers, moving on to Disney and then to the studio animation departments--MGM, Warners, etc.

b. History of Anime, both movies and TV.

c. Foreign (non-Japanese) animation.

d. Hanna-Barbera thread ("The Flintstones", "The Jetsons", etc.)

e. Bad Saturday morning animation.*TAKEN*

f. Feature-Length animation, starting with "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves", and including cult items.

g. A cartoon-by-cartoon thread on "Looney Tunes"/"Merrie Melodies"

h. There are Appreciation Threads for "The Simpsons", "Futurama", "The Family Guy" and "South Park", but a overview thread of modern prime-time television animation would include "Ren & Stimpy", "King of the Hill" and several others, including the shows that were not successful (but often very good.) *TAKEN*

i. Desert Island: If you were stranded on a Desert Island with a solar-powered DVD players, what five pieces of animation would you take with you?

4. Art:

Not much art on the forum, especially since Rogue wrapped up the top art of the 20th Century list. I would like to try some artists threads, following their works in chronological order. Some have careers that are particularly suited to this, for instance:

a. Goya;
b. Van Gogh;
c. Degas;
d. Durer;
e. Holbein;
f. Turner;
g. Bacon;
h. Freud;
i. Daumier;
j. Folk Art;
k. Desert Island (if you stranded on a Desert Island with a air-conditioned spot for them, what five paintings would you take with you?)

(Any other suggestions appreciated)

Also histories of historical movements, such as Cubism, Surrealism, Fauvism, etc.

a. A thread on mystery writing--hopefully with some discussion of technique; *TAKEN*
b. A thread on fictional detectives (book and tv & movie adaptations of same)
c. A thread on horror writing.
d. Author threads, wherein you discuss each work they have produced (Mark Twain, R. L. Stevenson, Stephen King)
e. Kid lit*TAKEN*
f. Desert Island (If you were stranded on a desert island, what five books would you take with you?)
g. A "Preview of Coming Releases" for books (we have one for films and for music)


ORPHANED THREAD:

"Classics of World Literature" (originally hosted by Mastadge). This is a very good thread that needs a new host.*ADOPTED*

Any other suggestions are welcome.

Would cooking or things like crafting or folk art be considered something that would fit into the forum? It might be JCC material, but then anything on that sort of topic usually sinks like a rock over there. Not sure it would do good here either. But then cook books can also come into it.

What about Asian music? I know I have a thread over on the JCC, but no one posts on it. Maybe more people here in the Amp listen to it. But if not, that's okay. Just thought I would suggest it.
