Connor plays keys in the Implements of Destruction with our own @DoctorDeathray. He is frequently Fat Jimbo the meteorologist on #newellijaytelevision he is also the composer of most of the original music featured in our original programming. Much of his material, though not this album, is released cc-by-sa.

I'm working with him to get an organized archive of his #creativeCommons music in to a format more fit for public consumption, browsing, and re-use. That should be available soon!

In the meantime, these tracks are a sample of the kind of lush, political, psychedelic music of which I have come to recognize Connor as the undisputed champion.

Give it a listen, you won't be disappointed.

@cjrando hey! I adore this.

I really love your work generally.

Maybe we can work together on something, or I can commission some loops for #newellijaytelevision or something.

If you've started following me in the last 8 months or so, it was probably because I said something pithy about the fediverse, or because you saw me talking about #newEllijayTelevision

This might have led you to think that I'm a media person, and not a computer person. This would be a mistake. I've been on the fediverse for more than half a decade, of course I'm a computer person.

In fact, I do a lot of retrocomputing (or, at least, I used to! People are complicated, circumstances change.)

You don't have to take my word for it, here are some things I've written:

Now, I don't have any inside track on the studios, and I don't currently work in the media industry, beyond the work I'm doing to destroy it with the power of community media production re: #NewEllijayTelevision #netv.

I don't *know* that the studios are scared, running out of money, and so desperate for the writers to take a deal that they would do basically anything, and that they are attempting to shift the narrative to make it seem like that is not the case in order to bluff at least some of the writers in to accepting a bad deal and returning to the table.

I don't Know that, but I strongly suspect it, and I've played poker often enough to know the kinds of hunches I can trust.

@trainingmontage Are you familiar with the work we've been doing w/r/t #NewEllijayTelevision ?

Hey Musicians and Filmmakers! We're getting ready for the #EllijayMakerspace // #NewEllijayTelevision summer film festival.

We'll start accepting submissions soon.

It's a Television festival, so we encourage short works, and love to see people experimenting with old cameras or low budgets.

This year, we're adding a few categories:

- Pilots:
shoot the pilot episode for a TV show!

- Silents:
Shoot a new silent film, write and record a new score for an old silent film, re-edit an existing silent film to tell a new story

- Ephemera:
Make something small and fleeting, evoke a feeling of being incomplete.

Sneak Peak at a project I've been working on:
https://communitymedia.network/

This is a website with information about #DIYTV and #NewEllijayTelevision, a history of independent video from the #videofreex through to #youtube and suggestions on how to proceed in to the future.

It's still growing. There are almost certainly typos, formatting issues, dead links, awkward phrases, incorrect information, missing instructions, etc. Over the next week or three I'll be adding links, embedding videos, sharing code, and writing additional supplemental and instructional materials.

But the site is up and it works, and I have a page through which you can by a hand bound zine style copy of Community Media: A Handbook for Revolutions in DIY TV.

@me #NewEllijayTelevision

We have a 24/7 stream that's a mix of public domain, creative commons, and local DIY/Community TV stuff.

It's also all available video on demand through our peertube instance (https://vod.newellijay.tv) and through the new ellijay television roku channel.

We have a lot more work to do, but this is a start.

Second! This Sunday means George Burns and Gracie Allen all morning on #NewEllijayTelevision

https://vod.newellijay.tv/w/hPrMTPpUuP8ZLoaqHTkLmd

It's FRIDAY!

And that means it's time for more #NewEllijayTelevision

Today, we launch episode two of The Dark Mistresses Midnight Movie starring our very own @DoctorDeathray

https://vod.newellijay.tv/w/fLbvNRTECRUwcrz4QdeRWE

Join Violet, Flo, and Feltvira as they discuss Catgirls in space or whatever.

Catch it on VOD new, or live tonight at 9pm.

#LetterboxdFriday

Basically of just the things I caught on the #NewEllijayTelevision live stream

@fifilamoura @ernie @Kye This is definitely a problem in our (very rural, farming) community. Part of the reason we're running #NewEllijayTelevision is to give voice to the members of our local community who have not been poisoned by right wing politicians and rural billionaires.

I wonder how much it would cost to license Space 1999 for streaming and VOD on #NewEllijayTelevision

The clip that I shared at the top of my last thread (https://retro.social/@ajroach42/110497705648080505) was created by one of two loosely affiliated video activist groups of the 1960s and 1970s. That group, The Videofreex, went on to become Lainsville TV. They decended on a small town in upstate new york and ran a pirate television station. (They are a core inspiration for many of the things I do at #NewEllijayTelevision)

The other group, which shared some members and values but took a more mainstream commercially successful route, was TVTV.

TVTV made documentaries. Here's a documentary they made about how the 72 DNC was a nearly entirely anti-democratic affair:
