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.

    Some late 90’s or early 2000’s time travel movie. If I describe the plot, you will tell me it is The Butterfly Effect. But it isn’t. I was trying to figure out what it was several years ago, tried watching The Butterfly Effect, and it was not the movie I was remembering, but it was similar enough in enough ways that I can’t find anything else. It feels kinda like how we had multiples sets of similar movies released in that time - Bug’s Life and Ants. Mission to Mars and Red Planet. Deep Impact and Armageddon. Dante’s Peak and Volcano. etc. (I sweat there was another tornado movie around the time of Twister but can’t find it so maybe I just regularly hallucinate movies?)
