UPDATE 2.33! (Added 09 May 2016)


LMC 22

Hey guys. It's the Shoegazer with a few updates for you guys.

First off, We would like to apologize for the difficulties the site has been having. For lack of a better way of stating it, we've been having financial problems staying afloat. We have decided to set up a Patreon for the site, and we humbly ask for your support. If 30 people donated 2 dollars a month, this site could easily stay online. Anything you guys can do to help is greatly appreciated.

Secondly, I have a brand new episode of the Lost Media Chronicles posted as of yesterday. This episode we cover the lost and unreleased games in the Pokemon franchise. That's right, it's video game month for the Chronicles, meaning we're covering the one big subject we've barely touched up on for the series. Feel free to check it out above.

Thanks much for your endless support, guys. Keep seeking out that lost media! Have a great day!

UPDATE 2.32! (Added 03 May 2016)


Billy and Mandy in: Trepanation of the Skull and You.

Just For Kicks (2006) The Complete Series Part 1.

Just For Kicks (2006) The Complete Series Part 2.

Lost Media Chronicles Episode 21.

Hey everyone, dycaite here with a new notice board post as we enter into the month of May (this year is just flying by, huh?)

Firstly, for those who missed it, the TROMAnimation Film Festival took place a few nights back and was indeed streamed online, including Maxwell Atoms' much anticipated Billy and Mandy student film (which has since been separately uploaded by the man himself in its best available quality, as seen above). Big thanks go to both Maxwell Atoms and the folks from Troma for putting this event on and for being kind enough to also provide the content online; your efforts are greatly appreciated!

Next we have a surprise unearthing that was uploaded to YouTube just a few hours back and that is the complete series of Nickelodeon's 2006 series Just For Kicks. Big thanks to YouTuber theSuperMetroid02 for the provision of these elusive episodes! It's one thing for a single episode of an almost entirely lost series to come to light, but to see an entire series unearthed in one fell swoop is truly impressive!

Aaaaand finally, Randy has released a new episode of The Lost Media Chronicles; this time he's covering Prince's extensive catalogue of unreleased material, following the prolific artist's recent passing. Thanks to Randy and Trey for another great LMC instalment (and for promptly dealing with the DMCA issues that cropped up shortly after the episode's publication)! Also, be sure to keep an eye out for upcoming LMC episodes; this month will see a number of new episodes released, all focusing on a specific theme (what theme, you ask? Well, you'll just have to wait and see :P)

That'll do it folks; 'til next time!

UPDATE 2.31! (Added 23 Apr 2016)


Big and Little Wong Tin Bar.

1995 Siggraph reel (Pixar ad at 8:19).

IMP, Inc. English dub.

Lost Media Chronicles Episode 20.

What's up guys, dycaite here with some more lost media news!

First up, Big and Little Wong Tin Bar (most notable for being the debut film of Jackie Chan, when he was a young child) was uploaded to YouTube in its entirety back in early February! Big thanks to Chinese YouTuber 吹啤啤 for the provision of the film and to Anthony Banchieri for the tip off!

Next up, Pixar's "Pinhead" Levi's commercial has been found! It was uploaded by YouTuber Xpresi Dent in October of 2015 as part a 45 minute Siggraph reel from 1995; the ad in question can be found at the 8:19 mark. Thanks to Xpresi Dent for the upload and to Harry Wong for the recent tip off!

Moving on and LMW contributor ThaWarden (aka B00TL3GG3R)'s search for the English dub of IMP, Inc. has come to an end, with the short being uploaded to YouTube a few days back! YouTuber duh dee dee uploaded the video after being contacted (regarding a review of the short that he previously written) by ThaWarden. Nice work guys!

A new episode of The Lost Media Chronicles has been released! This time Randy covers the infamous lost, unauthorised mockmentary A Day With SpongeBob SquarePants: The Movie (for real this time, we promise!)

On one final note, for those of you in or around New York, don't forget that the lost Billy and Mandy pilot "Billy and Mandy in Trepanation of the Skull and You" is being screened in Brooklyn on April 30th as part of Troma's TROMAnimation Film Festival. Kudos to all involved in the short's unearthing; here's hoping it manages to reach a wider audience soon!

That'll do it for now; catch ya's!

UPDATE 2.30! (Added 13 Apr 2016)


LMC 19


Hello guys!

A new episode of The Lost Media Chronicles is now available. To those of you who tried to watch it earlier, but noticed that Sony initially blocked it due to "copyrighted content" (even though my video fits the terms of fair use), I now have it back up, at least temporarily. Hopefully it'll stay up, but I doubt it will. Sony is usually pretty quick to reject these claims, unlike Warner Music Group who can take up to a month to reject it. If they decide to permanently block the video worldwide, don't worry, Trey and I will edit out the offending clips and repost the video.

This episode is about Jeff Buckley, a now-legendary musician who drowned in the Wolf River in 1997 at the age 30. Ever since, his music has only gone on to influence countless other artists, many in other fields. Recently, some of his tracks have been released by Sony via the new album You and I. This is proof that Sony is likely listening to fans. However, I have started a petition to help support more unreleased tracks by Buckley to be released. Please, check out and sign the petition here.

Thank you guys so much for watching and remember to keep seeking out lost media!

UPDATE 2.29! (Added 04 Apr 2016)


Radiohead's "Lost" Music Video for "Let Down".


Great news guys!

A piece of Lost Media I covered on The Lost Media Chronicles has been found! The full version of Radiohead's music video for the song "Let Down" was found. Buried in the depths of the video director's website for years, a fan dug deep enough and found it sitting around there. It goes to show the benefits of this show! It helps spread awareness and gets lost media found in some cases! For those of you who want to see the original video I did on it, you can catch it here! Special thanks to YouTube user Vini M. for uncovering it and to the Simon Hilton for including it on his site!

UPDATE 4.02! (Added 02 Apr 2016)


New LMC!


Hey there, guys!

So the video posted yesterday was an April Fool's Day prank. To make up for any possible outrage, don't worry, we will do a straight episode on the A Day in the Life of Spongebob Squarepants soon! Here's the previous episode of LMC, and we'll have a new, ACTUAL episode out next week! Thanks as always for watching, and I'll catch you guys next time with another episode, hopefully within the next week or so.

-RandyTheShoegazer


UPDATE 4.01! (Added 01 Apr 2016)


New LMC!


Hello, all! Here's a brand new Lost Media Chronicles for you. This time I cover the much sought after lost documentary, “A Day With Spongebob Squarepants: The Movie”. Though the release was formally announced and planned for November 2011, it was mysteriously pulled for unknown reasons and, as of yet, has never been viewed by the general public. In this episode, I go over all the information that has come to light about the movie, as well as the sketchiness of the company that was set to release it. Thanks as always for watching, and I'll catch you guys next time with another episode, hopefully within the next week or so.

-RandyTheShoegazer


UPDATE 2.28! (Added 20 Mar 2016)


New LMC!


Hello, all! I have a brand new Lost Media Chronicles for you guys! This time it's about the lost animated films by Quirino Christiani. Having beat Walt Disney to the punch for the first full length animated feature film by 20 years, Christiani often remains an unsung hero in animation history. Here I talk about his life and his lost work.

Thanks for watching, and I'll catch you guys next time with another episode, hopefully by the end of the month.

-RandyTheShoegazer


UPDATE 2.27! (Added 17 Mar 2016)


New LMC!


Hey, guys!

Shoegazer here with another episode of the Lost Media Chronicles. Sorry about the delayed production. Basically Arizona has been getting a nasty flu going around making everyone sick, and both me and Trey got it. Naturally, that slowed things down, but we got another 2 episodes due out by the end of the month, with one hopefully to be completed by the weekend!

This new one is about the choreography to the Rite of Spring. Premiered to controversy in 1913, The Rite was only performed 8 times before shutting down. The original choreography has been feared lost, though reconstruction efforts have surfaced many times over the years.

Thanks again for watching guys, and I'll see you hopefully in a couple of days with another one of these.

-RandyTheShoegazer


UPDATE 2.26! (Added 07 Mar 2016)


Lmw tan meets trope tan.png

What's up guys, dycaite here and with a new month comes a new notice board post (though, admittedly, a bit of an overdue one).

First up, something that slipped under our radar for nearly a month was the unearthing of the Super Nintendo Lobo prototype, which was obtained, dumped and subsequently released online on February 10 by assemblergames.com user marvelus10. Thanks marvelus10!

Secondly, LMW staffer/French native Reynard has generously translated the Motherboard article on lost media (the one from two posts back, for which I was interviewed) from French to English, making it much more comprehensible than it was via Google translate; you can check it out here. Thanks Reynard!

Speaking of Reynard, he has also recently taken the liberty of creating a TVTropes page on the LMW, providing a rad illustration of what it'd be like if Trope-tan and LMW-tan met to go with it; nice! Additionally, you may have noticed some cool new illustrated thread icons in the forums, which also come courtesy of Reynard. Thanks again, man!

That oughta do it for now; catch you next time, folks!

UPDATE 2.25! (Added 26 Feb 2016)


Lost Media Chronicles Episode 15.


How's it going guys, your friendly neighborhood Shoegazer here with a brand new episode of The Lost Media Chronicles. Now, this one has been up for a week now, but we've just been so busy as of late that we forgot to post it here. So, with that said, please enjoy.

The next episode is set to be out hopefully next Friday, so keep an eye out for that. Thank you guys all for watching!

-RandyTheShoegazer


UPDATE 2.24! (Added 17 Feb 2016)


Lost Media Chronicles Episode 14.


Hey guys, dycaite here again with another handful of updates and goings-on.

First cab off the ranks is the new episode of Lost Media Chronicles; this time Randy covers Fritz Lang's 1927 sci-fi epic Metropolis, where he details the film's history and its previously/currently lost scenes in a delightfully stylised manner :)

Secondly, the Motherboard article by Sébastien Wesolowski for which I was recently interviewed (as mentioned in the previous notice board post) has gone up. You can check it out here, but keep in mind that the article is in French and (for most of us) requires translating, so expect one or two odd translation imperfections in the text.

The third thing I wanted to mention is another retrospective update that slipped through the net; back in early December of last year, the full, proper version of "2 Ft. O' Buttcrack" (ie. the complete, unedited song, not the version extracted from Dumb and Dumber) was made available online courtesy of its composer, Billy Goodrum! You can check it out here via Billy's own YouTube account. Thanks Billy, it's really cool to finally be able to hear this infamous track in its entirety!

Next, I wanted to make note of the fact that a complete, intact 35mm workprint of The Dream of Hamish Mose has been rediscovered! You can read all about its rediscovery here. While there are no solid plans as of yet to make the film available to a wider audience, the owners of said workprint appear intent on getting it out to the masses; here's hoping they succeed in doing so!

And finally, I just wanted to thank everyone that has donated to the site recently; in just the past week we've received more in total donations than we have over the site's entire lifespan, so big thanks for that guys, we really appreciate the support :)

That'll do it for now; 'til next time,

-dycaite


LMW-TAN // DONATIONS // INTERVIEWS (Added 11 Feb 2016)


Lmwtan donations.png

What's up guys! dycaite here, back with a quick update this fine February.

You may have noticed a new face popping up around the website over the past few days, in the form of LMW-tan (LM-tan for short), an anthropomorphic personification (or gijinka) of the site, created and illustrated by our own Reynard (aka Gaucelm) and we are happy to say that she has officially become our new mascot! Big thanks to Reynard for these wonderful illustrations; I feel that LMW-tan is really going to bring some more personality and flair to our organisation :) Expect to see more of her around from now on!

The second thing I wanted to mention was donations. Now, I am usually pretty modest when it comes to bringing up the topic of site donations, although to be perfectly frank, the site runs at a monthly loss (and has been even since it was launched in June of last year), funds are pretty tight right now and we could really use all the help we can get. If you can spare even a dollar towards our cause to keep the site accessible and ad-free, it would be greatly appreciated; every little bit helps and we are immensely grateful for any and all donations made. Plus, it'll put a smile on LMW-tan's face ;)

Thirdly, I mentioned in the last notice board post that I had been interviewed by New York Magazine's Abraham Riesman for an article on Christine Chubbuck's suicide tape; said article has since been published at vulture.com, you can check it out here. Speaking of interviews, I've been asked to do another one (this time on the topic of lost media in general), with Sébastien Wesolowski of the French branch of VICE's Motherboard magazine, so I'll let you all know when that goes live too.

That's all for now; cheers guys!

UPDATE 2.22! (Added 29 Jan 2016)


Belated new years.jpg


Hey guys!

I'm back with a quick update on a few goings-on 'round the site that I feel you should all be aware of, plus a bit of cool news.

Firstly, you'll no doubt have notice the consuming amounts of spam accounts being created of late and I just wanna reassure you guys that we are working hard to stop them getting in.

Incidentally, I went through and banned an absurd amount of dummy accounts by IP last night, which should hopefully hold them off somewhat. Anyway, as careful as I was to follow the pattern of fake account names, it's entirely possible that I might have accidentally banned a legitimate user; IF you find your account banned and are a legitimate user of the site then please let me know and I will unban you ASAP. Like I said, I was very meticulous in weeding out spam accounts and as such don't think there are going to be many, if any, real accounts that got removed in the wave of deletions, but you never know and if it turns out that I have made a mistake, then I sincerely apologise.

Also on the note of spam, we're currently enforcing email verification for accounts, new AND old; if you don't provide an email address then you will not be able to edit pages. You can add an email to your account via your preferences page. I also wanna give a big shout out to Robin Deurloo for assisting in combating the spam and lending me his time and knowledge of MediaWiki over the past few months; thanks Robin, I think I speak for everyone when I say we appreciate it a lot!

Secondly and on a more positive note, an official Cheez TV Facebook page has been set up by former hosts Jade and Ryan, who have begun posting footage from the show! For someone like me who grew up with Cheez TV, this is really exciting; I'm looking forward to any more videos to come!

As for what else I've been up to, I recently had an interview with Abraham Riesman of NYMag regarding the Christine Chubbuck tape (who, if you hadn't heard yet, is the subject of not one but two Sundance entries this year), so keep an eye out for that.

'Til next time, friends!

And a personal update from RandyTheShoegazer,


New Lost Media Chronicles.


Hey guys, I have a new episode of the Lost Media Chronicles out and for once it's not music-related. Unfortunately, I have to again break my promise about the video game episode. Without divulging too much information, I've been dealing with roommates that have become drug addicts, and my gear that I would have used to film that episode has gotten stolen. So, sadly, that episode will have to be postponed until I can get new gear for it. So this episode will be covering the lost silent Felix the Cat shorts from the 1910s to the 1920s.

Onwards to more positive news. Because my music review show 2Beats+ is on hiatus, that means that LMC will be updating as frequent as we can. We are shooting for weekly episodes, and we'll be covering more of a variety in topics.

Thanks for watching, and keep searching for that lost media,

-RandyTheShoegazer
