There seem to be a few articles about it now: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/12/06/x-files-son... An update from one of the songwriters: https://www.joneshouseband.com/about-2
They're planning to release it as a single!

#22This reminds me of how much I miss watching X-Files back in the days. Such a good show.
The Lone Gunmen!

#23Lyrics: "have waited for a light-year." What a long time! Wait.
It's just a few parsecs.

#24This link doesn't really work for anyone without a twitter account fwiw. We just see a single message. I think the preferred way to share twitter content these days is to screenshot the full thread. Or just accept that it's not really shareable and move on.
It’s frustrating because some of Musk’s first moves were to make logged-out Twitter a ton better, but then a while ago he reversed course hard and made it entirely unusable. It’s the worst it’s ever been, I’m not employing “unusable” flippantly, it’s in fact almost pointless to follow a Twitter link while logged out now. Yeah, in my circle if people want to share Twitter stuff, they’ve taken to using screenshots.
If you want to watch the presidential debate, you'll need to log in to Twxtter, is the gut check I'm getting with the push to streaming, but not adding clips.
You can go from there depending on how optimistic/pessimistic you want to be, but ultimately I do feel like I can see that being the path forward foe Twxtter.

#25This makes me miss the ReplyAll podcast. They were the best at tracking down obscurities like this and telling a fun story about them.
Sounds like you would enjoy this podcast, if you haven't listened already:

A whole 8-part podcast series about the origin of the Scorpions song "Wind of Change". But really a vehicle for lots of interesting cold war history.

the public (open?) internet is dying i wonder if there are any nuances between public and open
No the public internet is doing just fine. I can still send packets to where ever. However, the machines connected to it aren't playing nice with each other anymore.

#27Coincidentally there’s another song in an x-files episode that has been sought out over the years. In that case though, it’s a rendition by the original performers that seems to have never been made public: https://www.reddit.com/r/XFiles/comments/1zthzq/can_we_pleas...
Re: A lost X-Files song
#28Makes me think of once I was in bed listening to a house mix and suddenly I heard a remix of a track I've been wanting to re-listen since my child hood. No text, just melody. I jumped out, got on the piano and rev-engineered the melody.
Now there are search engines for melodies, I think I used this one:

First 5 hits were not the track (knowing how to read score helps here), but the sixth: bleam!
The track was "Ryuichi Sakamoto - Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jElCDsfptVU

What if we talked about the X-files in a post about the X-files, and talked about Elon Musk... Anywhere else?

#30I checked the whole thread but don't see a link to the actual song. did it actually get posted yet? and I don't mean a cam of someones TV or something. as others said, logged out Twitter is garbage.
