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.

    There’s a a conspiracy theory involving a relatively popular celebrity from the early 2000s and some guy in Brazil takes full credit for the entire conspiracy theory and says he made it up just to prove how easy it would be to do. He’s even credited in the wikipedia article for it.

    I’ve seen proof that he’s wrong, I’ve had bookmarks that would show he wasn’t the originator of the theory, but all the forums and sources that would be able to prove him wrong are defunct and offline. The timeline doesn’t even make sense for it to have originated when he said he came up with it, but I can’t prove it. He was like 6 years late. Every once in awhile, I still go searching to see if I can find something old enough to prove it.
