Something that one of you nerds might have: on the darkBASIC demo disk there was a demo called "dreams of a nebula cat" with some midi music. Would like to see that again if anyone still has the disk from 20 years ago.

Okay, here’s another one: I’ve been looking for cheap plastic army men that look like the classic marching soldiers with the tall hats and dress uniforms. eBay has some things like this for $20+.

This is a fairly recent one but it's been driving me bonkers all week. I'm p sure I saw this on twitter. It was a funny video, I don't think it was a tiktok but the creator was clearly kinda doing TikTok style comedy, rapid cuts and stuff. It was a younger woman, and all I remember specifically was at one point she said to the camera "my life be like oo ah" like that one tiktok meme song in this really funny cadence.

Whew, finally caught up again... here come some solutions and some un-solutions!SimonCat posted:Mine is some 70s euro-trash that was on Cinemax/Showtime in the mid to early 90s that I watched on a "scrambled" channel on Friday night. Two things I remember, one was a guy having sex with a girl in the upstairs bedroom of a row house, while her dad banged on the wall shared by the neighbor's, an elderly couple, and that they should be ashamed of themselves at their age. Though if this is totally wrong, it might just be that it is one of the other movies functionally just like this in the, I am delighted to learn has a name, Bavarian Porn subgenre. Hard to imagine "disapproving elderlies" would be an uncommon sex comedy theme taiyoko posted:One in particular was the Doom logo flipped into becoming "WOOD". A game about antique-ing with a catchphrase of "you're never getting those hours of your life back". Ooh https://www.somethingawful.com/photoshop-phriday/boring-games/1/ looks like your jams start about page 4 Teketeketeketeke posted:I also remember a series of gum in mini cartons like these: ANYWAY I finally realized I do have some white whales. One is something that really seems like it should be findable, as it was on some (legit) techno compilation a friend let me borrow; I liked the song so much I made a mix tape of JUST THAT SONG to play whenever that friend was over. The song was clearly called "KINGS" as that is what I wrote all over both sides of the tape, and the only part I remember now years after losing the tape is the chorus, where a guy who sounds completely insane says, in sort of a "they're coming to take me away, ha-ha" sing-songy style: * "All of US! All of YOU! YOU'RE KINGS! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!" and then an, I guess for lack of better term, generic Egyptian melody plays out, like something you expect to hear in a cartoon if they are entering a pyramid or maybe charming a snake, and then back to whatever the verse was, including lots of chopped samples of a woman going "uh-uh uh uh-uhhh uhuh-uhhhh." Best sentence ever And two others dating back to a period a local college radio station was doing an automated summer session playlist on loop (this was summer 2004) and I kept hearing the same songs nobody seemed to recognize for a couple of months; two songs whose lyrics I am 99% sure are accurate, as I heard each of them playing several times and the vocals were fairly clear, but Googling those phrases still produces nothing 15 years later: * "You can't cover up white walls" (shouted, particularly WHITE WAAALLLLS!, by an angsty lady vocalist, and this is absolutely all I can remember of the song other than that it was standard distorted guitar rock) * "I'm the angel of death ... in disguise; I'm in pursuit ... of all the young guys; they say I'm the worst; you're not the last, and you're definitely not the first" spoken, but in rhythm to the music, and definitely also sing-songy and not rap-like at all; backing music was somewhat minimal and somewhat eclectically electronic For a while I thought every one of the mystery tracks being played might be a local band, but the last time I went searching I finally found a third song, belonging to an indie band from Sweden, so ... maybe the other bands are Swedish too? Here is that one just for time/space placement if nothing else https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsaJuGFnshg

Does this direct link work? https://archive.org/download/darkba...ebula%20cat.EXE Otherwise just download the whole thing and find the folder yourself https://archive.org/details/darkbasic-pcactive It complains about a missing d3drm.dll when I tried to run it on Windows 10 just now, so good luck actually getting it working (and there's no source code for that one) Just to be clear, this is freeware included with a retail demo, it's not "files". Oh man, I found my old darkbasic folder. Real tempted to setup a VM and see what I made.

An old image that was a cartoon of a bear sitting in a car with a single tear sliding down his cheek, with the ghost of his wife next to him. I remember it specifically as “A bear sits in his car as the ghost of his murdered wife looks on.” A similar cartoon that is just a fire hydrant humping a fire hydrant humping a fire hydrant humping a fire hydrant.

A female maker, very spectrummy and super bright, she wore glasses and in the video I saw she was making a wire reel controlled camera jig that would automatically track her cat around her studio, I think she was writing the code for it as well.

There was an article about some kind of holy structure that had been sent over as a World's Fair display or something similar, that then ended up being left behind, then used as the tiki bar at some casino. Then a member of the religion visited the casino on an unrelated trip and went "holy poo poo why are you using our temple as a tiki bar" and it ended up being given back to the original owners. Wtf was that?

The rest of the internet thinks it's impossible but can anyone find more than one episode of Old Friends... New Friends? It's an interview show Fred Rogers did in the 80's(?). I can find a single episode out of 24. I know it's the longest of long shots but uh, can any of you find them?

I had an mp3 collection of the orchestral soundtrack from Akira. Many reformers and failures to back up later, I don't. I would love to have that on vinyl or cd. I've seen some CDs on Ebay, but I don't trust the sellers

It looks like the OST is still available on Amazon as CD, vinyl, and streaming/mp3 (though only some tracks are available streaming) for relatively normal prices ($28 for vinyl might be high, I don't really know.) (Edit: On further inspection I'm guessing you're referring to the Symphonic Suite which does appear to be more rare and out of print and something I think I would love to find as well.)

There was a youtube video of a really good mix for the Beastie Boys' "Hey Ladies" that included like a five minute preamble that was a scratch routine that included bits from Shake Your Rump and a few other various little samples that was different from the B-Side extended version off Paul's Boutique. It was titled like HEY LADIES BEST VERSION EVER and has since disappeared and I've searched for like a year because it was loving dope as poo poo

Is the "Symphonic Suite" different from the OST I have on CD? This says "Symphonic Suite" on the art, but y'know, Youtube, so,  Sounds just like my CD version, but it's a been a hot minute since I listened to it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=De3cWcjZ0Q0 Anyways, I have contacts in the vinyl/CD trade and will put a shout out. Failing that, I'd be happy to burn a copy of my CD for you, if that's what you'd like and I can find it (I have like 1200 CDs in a storage unit, most --- most --- of which are organized alphabetically).

This says "Symphonic Suite" on the art, but y'know, Youtube, so, I'll have to look into using "symphonic suite" as a search term, thanks! The version that I own is the "action soundtrack" which is made of soundbites from the film cut to the symphonic suite. It's not nearly the same. I appreciate your legwork.

This podcast episode showed up in my timeline a bunch this morning and it turned out to be both in the spirit of this thread and extremely good. A man in California is haunted by the memory of a pop song from his youth. He can remember the lyrics and the melody. But the song itself has vanished, completely scrubbed from the internet. PJ takes on the Super Tech Support case.

Podcasts themselves are crazy. I spent ages trying to track down an episode of one published maybe five years ago for an interview it contained, but the series had ended and then vanished in a website redesign, and I eventually found a tweet from the host saying they didn't have their own copies. Another great-but-ended local podcast disappeared when the creators couldn't renew their domain name (at least that one was in the Wayback Machine). Though sure, a lot don't have any real lasting value - that first one was about pop culture and stayed relevant for maybe a week at a time, and then there's all the podcasts that are just bad.
