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.

At a certain point, I forgot the name of an online store that sold a lot of cool modding gear. It was impossible to find with searches without the name, but I found an old tour of the warehouse in my very old files one day and it was called Lik-Sang. It's so old, I probably don't even have access to the email I used for those purchases anymore.

Not internet, but I a certain scene in an anime on Scifi channel always stuck with me. Eventually, I figured out it was Zeiram the Animation, but the scene had a different dub. That was the era when shows would sometimes have more then one English dub for one reason or another.

I also remember seeing an episode of Max Steel in the hotel room while on a family trip to Canada which had a different opening with a different explanation to how the MC got his powers. Chalking it up to some BS&P issue.

There was some AMVs I saw at Otakon that never got released online. A really good Kino's Journey one, but I don't remember the song at the moment.

Now I'm digging up obscure media from my brain. Apparently, it's not lost media or even good, but I remember watching a prerelease of Game Over at a gaming con once. I guess one episode is lost media.

Shame Welcome to Eltingville never got a full series. CN sure got a lot of mileage out of playing the pilot for a show they opted not to continue.

edit: oh for fun. A friend of mine has been on the hunt for a version of Zorro he saw bits of as a kid. He's never been able to figure out what version of it it was, even though every time he brings it up, we tell him it was actually The Princess Bride. Seriously, he wont watch The Princess Bride, but is convinced that it's not what he saw.

Oh, and there's allegedly a Japanese show that's allegedly streaming on Japanese Amazon called Space Jobs. This is the trailer I found on a fansub torrent site.
