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.

I have way too many of these and have lost count over time. Porn/porn games, old flash games/animations from Newgrounds, classic memes that only I seem to remember, stuff I saw for sale once upon a time that are sold out and can’t be found anywhere anymore, esoteric collectibles, comments I made on videos or posts literal decades ago, old websites long since defunct and so far lost that even wayback machine doesn’t have them on record, underground/indie music recordings that I definitely had at one point and then lost when switching hard drives out. The list definitely goes on but those are the ones off the top of my head.
