Dell_Zincht posted:No idea about the record sleeve but this sounds very much like Pablo Gargano - Everyone's Future You bloody genius. You were dead on about the art, which I recognized immediately, but not the track. However I was able to take that info to Discogs.com (invaluable for some of these visual memories) and found what I am tentatively going to say is it, "The Ultimate Frontier" from his Girotondo album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_Bn0nqVdY8 This is actually a lot harder/techier than I remember. Bizarrely the art I remember isn't from the Girotondo album but instead the "EVE (x)" releases, e.g. EVE 23, that kind of thing. I believe the B-Side is Cockfosters from EVE 23, which has the syncopated female vocal I was misremembering. Or possibly a trancier remix of it? Because I remember that part being a really effective trance breakdown whereas on this cut it's closer to hard house and barely used. EDIT-Holy crap of course I know Pablo he did Senza Volto, can't believe I've been missing it this long. Scaramouche fucked around with this message at 23:57 on Jun 8, 2020 |

I'm trying to think of what your first track could be but it's a bit vague lol

Back in probably ‘96 or ‘97 I was reading a gaming magazine, which I’m fairly certain was an issue of Next Generation there was an article and also an on disc video about a very early in development game that I want to say was called Virus where you had to fight a computer virus in a virtual world, but the game scanned your computer and the world you fought in was based on whatever hardware you had in your system. I never heard anything else about it and I’ve never dig up anything else.

I'm looking for a series of short documentary style stories, mostly shot on black and white. Original language is French, but the versions on Youtube were dubbed over in English. The stories were mostly paranormal in nature, some were simple crime stories, one of the later ones (in color) was a scifi\body horror story about the survivors of Soviet cybernetics experiments. Other memorable episodes were one about a mysterious witch beneath a sheet, and another was about two families that lived next door to one another and its title was something along the lines of "The BLANK watch the BLANK", with each blank being the surname of one of the family. Any ideas would be great.

Scaramouche posted:I figured these would be impossible, but I've seen some crazy things answered in this thread so I figured I'd give it a try. I used to DJ in the 2000-2003 using analogue records and so on before the whole digital thing took off. There are two records/tracks that I used to spin quite regularly that I can't for the life of me find on youtube/remember. These may or may not be mainstream, I wasn't really plugged into the charts scene at the time, mostly picking records because I liked the art or other reasons. The song that popped into my head when I thought of the "come on" vocal was Commander Tom - Are Am Eye? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wh6wrLwRUt8

I would blow Dane Cook posted:A story about Picasso. Basically he never carried money or a wallet. Instead he would just write down his name or scribble something on a piece of paper to pay for a packet of cigarettes or a bottle of milk or whatever because he was loving Picasso. I could never find anything on the internet to say this was true. Mainly for Phil Hartman, giving it 100% as always: https://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/portrait-of-the-artist-pablo-picasso/2868073

Hey remember that TV series from 1983 where Michael York and Gene Anthony Ray played Robinson Crusoe and Man Friday in a pretty awesome adaptation of Dafoe's novel? Well it's not that I'm making it up: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083278/ But good luck finding it anywhere, other that the soundtrack, I desperately want to watch it again ..

Trichord posted:The song that popped into my head when I thought of the "come on" vocal was Commander Tom - Are Am Eye? I thought for sure you had it because the timing was right, and the farty bass stings were striking a chord in my mind, but that's a guy saying "c'mon" in a normal voice, whereas what the track had was a more intoning, almost text to speech like, "COMM ONE" (as in short for communications, or possibly CALM ONE). The voice was deep and slow, and had tons of reverb on it. But thanks for trying! That might nail down the era for me, 95-2000, since that's a 95 track.

Also your username lmao what also dali, as his health failed his cult of hangers-on would get him to sign huge numbers of blank sheets, i think something like 50-80,000? that's also why there's so many fraudulent Dali pieces, people would get these signed sheets and then scribble trash over them.

There used to be a like, compilation video up on youtube of singers in popular music hitting Tenor Cs/C5s. That video's been deleted for probably an insane amount of DMCA takedown notices despite only using like three seconds of a bunch of songs, but there was a performance in it that I'd like to find again. From what I remember, the singer was a small-looking white guy with a beard who played guitar (not that that narrows things down much...), but he hit an amazing sustained C5 on like an extended version of one of the band's hits. The only bit I remember was the passage it came from. The guitar-driven rock instrumentals dropped out, and then he screamed out "It's the hardest part", dragging out hard, and falling into like a almost mumble after that line. I know the regular mix of the song had a music video that went along with it that was just the band playing the song, but that specific performance came from an extended mix I'm sure.

I am looking for a "hidden track" that I think was on some nu-metal album from the mid to late 90s to early 2000s. The bass drum or bass was turned up 15+ db on the song so it was hard to play at a normal volume, and it was like 8-15 minutes of UFO conspiracy theories based around the Roswell incident that sounded like an old school radio show or art bell call.. I heard it twice and I can't find it for the life of me.

I have recently tried to dig up the Fantastic Plastic Machine remake of 70s German art pop band Slapp Happy's song "A Little Something". Here's the original for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYaWiw3hOpM I use to have the FPM remake on a hard drive somewhere. It was also on some record labels (Avex?) official youtube channel in 2014-2015 but it appears to have been wiped from the internet and there is no mention of it on FPM's discogs page. This is driving me nuts because it seems hard to believe that a song by a relatively well known artist/producer would simply disappear without a trace but here we are.

Something sung by Jon Anderson? Small white guy, usually has a goatee. Sometimes plays a bit of guitar. Can/could hit amazingly high notes. Can also be unintelligible. Can't hear him yelling about the difficulty of singing the note, though.

Several years ago there was this amazing bubble tea place in Queens, NY. I used to go there to drink/eat bubble tea for breakfast and just to drink the plain jasmine green. No sugar, no nothing, just the tea. I asked the owner how to get the tea itself and he said that they used the most popular bubble tea supplier in Taiwan, but I haven't been able to find it. Most Taiwanese bubble tea suppliers online require you to basically order on faith, set up a business account, etc. and there's no way I'm blind buying from like ten suppliers to find out which it was.Awful CompSloth posted:Holy crap, that's it! The grey people and the man eating plants. I wonder if the actual series is worth checking out Yes. Yes it is, Deltora Quest is great. I forgot, I also miss this discontinued nonalcoholic drink called Ame. It was only sold for a limited time in the early 2000s and it tasted like apricots but way better. Kind of like ramune, but legendary. And that Juice Bar perfume stuff. And all the Bath & Body Works perfumes from the 90s. They must have changed the formulations because they are all pretty gross now. In fact the entire perfume industry seems to have taken a hit for some reason. I remember a lot of stuff on the market used to be better, like Drakkar Noir. cherry13chumscum fucked around with this message at 05:31 on Jun 14, 2020 |

A children's book from the 80s about a high school football team in Texas (I think) who's coach gets injured and the math teacher dresses up as a dude with a big fake Tom Selleck mustache. I specifically remember one of the players saying "Man, the new coach is really giving us the business" then she takes them all out for ice cream at the end of the book.
