That thing you could’ve sworn you existed, remembered existed and how it has now turned into a great wonder of a chase to acquire again after so long. What is that thing for you?
Mine is discovering what music was played during an old internet radio show I still listen to was. The episodes I’m listening to are 21 years old now and for years I wondered what specific tracks were played on that show that I so want copies of. In one of the episodes, the host mentions that the backing music is from Digitally Imported now known as DI.FM.
However, that doesn’t do me any good since newer music is played now on that platform and with no hint or source telling me what tracks were played on that show in show notes or even word of mouth, I’ve no hope in tracking them down. So for so long, I’ve had to listen to this show’s episodes almost religiously, just because of the music that was played.
And my only hope now is tinkering with audio tools so I can figure a way to rip out the parts where the hosts are talking so it is just the music, then go around online asking people who’re more expert on the genre than I am to tell me, then find them and download them.

Due to this post I just found mine.
For the longest time I’ve been trying to find a video that featured someone copying a VHS recording over and over again, each time loosing a little bit of quality.
The specific video featured a catchy song, but I couldn’t remember the song or any of the words. I’ve found a few different videos over the years but every time I found a video the song was wrong.
Every few years it’s jumped into my head and I’ve gone off looking for it, but could never quite figure it out.
This time I either put in just the right terms or the magic algorithm has moved it around,

This was a really neat watch!
I wonder if it was inspired by Alvin Lucier’s “I am Sitting in a Room”
