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.

So I remember coming across this basic webpage that was just a song playing on loop with an animation in the center.
The song was this weird electronic loop with samples on top: baby coos, a few lines from some female rapper, various bloopy sounds. It changed a bunch.
The animation looked like old 90s 3d web animations, very pixelated. The object would rock back and forth, and periodically changed into a different object: an old CRT monitor, a dolphin, just random stuff.
The whole thing had a very Windows 98 sorta vibe, I think the name looked like a file name. That was the whole thing though, just this animation and music loop.
It was maybe 15 years ago. The song was pretty catchy, so every once in a while I try to find it, but I can’t even begin to think of how to search this.
