What's up guys! dycaite here, back with a quick update this fine February.
Hey guys, dycaite here again with another handful of updates and goings-on.


You may have noticed a new face popping up around the website over the past few days, in the form of [[LMW-tan|LMW-tan]] (LM-tan for short), an anthropomorphic personification (or ''gijinka'') of the site, created and illustrated by our own [[User:Reynard|Reynard]] (aka [http://gaucelm.deviantart.com/ 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!
First cab off the ranks is the new episode of [[Lost Media Chronicles|Lost Media Chronicles]]; this time Randy covers Fritz Lang's 1927 sci-fi epic [[Metropolis cut content (lost scenes; 1927)|''Metropolis'']], where he details the film's history and its previously/currently lost scenes in a delightfully stylised manner :)


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 ;)
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 [http://motherboard.vice.com/fr/read/lost-media--les-chercheurs-de-trsors-du-web check it out here], but keep in mind that the article is in French and (for most of us) [http://tinyurl.com/hfej497 requires translating], so expect one or two odd translation imperfections in the text.


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 [[The Christine Chubbuck tape (lost on air suicide; 1974)|Christine Chubbuck's suicide tape]]; said article has since been published at vulture.com, you can [http://www.vulture.com/2016/01/death-hags-christine-chubbuck-suicide-video.html 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.
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" (1994 'Dumb and Dumber' Movie Song)|"2 Ft. O' Buttcrack"]] (ie. the song in its entirety, not the version extracted from ''Dumb and Dumber'') has been made available online courtesy of its composer, Billy Goodrum! You can [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TX_wUhvH5M check it out here] via Billy's own YouTube account; thanks Billy!


That's all for now; cheers guys!
Finally, I wanted to make note of the fact that a complete, intact 35mm workprint of [[The Dream of Hamish Mose (lost O. J. Simpson film; 1969)
|''The Dream of Hamish Mose'']] has been rediscovered! You can [http://filmsaroundtheworld.com/O.J.html 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!
 
That'll do it for now; 'til next time guys,

Welcome to The Lost Media Wiki

This wiki is a community passion project where we detail and attempt to track down (at least, in most cases) pieces of lost or hard to find media; whether it be video, audio or otherwise (of either a fictional or non-fictional nature), if it's completely lost or simply inaccessible to the general public, it belongs here.

Breaking off from its original Wikia hosting, the site was moved to its own, independent host (the process of which was initiated in late 2014 and concluded in mid 2015) and has been steadily growing since its humble beginnings. We encourage any and all connoisseurs of obscure media to join in and contribute; the more the merrier. Happy searching!

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 song in its entirety, not the version extracted from Dumb and Dumber) has been made available online courtesy of its composer, Billy Goodrum! You can check it out here via Billy's own YouTube account; thanks Billy!

Finally, I wanted to make note of the fact that a complete, intact 35mm workprint of [[The Dream of Hamish Mose (lost O. J. Simpson film; 1969) |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!

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