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.

Not really internet. I remember a video I saw when I was a kid, like 6-7 years old. It must’ve run alongside Sesame Street or something, because that was the only stuff I was allowed to watch back then. It was some sort of PSA about wearing a seat belt. A father, who was also an actor on the German Sesame Street, was picking up his young daughter, she sat in the backseat. She wanted to show him what she learned playing the recorder and played a bit for him. He had to break, looked back and saw the flute sticking out his daughter’s mouth. That fucking thing sticks with me to this day. Must’ve been early 80s on German TV. I have no hope of ever being able to traumatize others with that shit, but I wish I could just so I can talk about it.
