Imagine being so skilled that you can whip up a whole amazing song in four hours! I'm not sure if I could create anything beautiful in four hours.
True. I know a couple people who work with soundtracks professionally for TV, and the crazy thing is that "writing songs fast" is a totally different skill in itself, so it's not enough to be an amazing player with decades of experience, or even an amazing songwriter, it's a different superpower that impresses other musicians too. Those super-fast soundtrack/jingle composers, session musicians and professional songwr…
I find stories about lost media intriguing and I am happy that this one got resolved. There is an online subcommunity both on YouTube and Reddit trying to discover a lost song based on a 17 second audio clip found online a couple of years ago. So far, no luck. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everyone_Knows_That_(Ulterior_... Honorable mention to The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet as well: https://en.wikipedia.org…
Every artist has demo tapes with songs they've written but never published, and a lot of obscure stuff got leaked in the heyday of filesharing.
Talking about music Shazam fails to identify, I have a bee in my bonnet about a piece of violin that I found in several trailers [1] [2]. Sounds like Ray Davies but can't find the tune anywhere. [1] https://youtu.be/md9M1KPP9no?t=82 [2] https://youtu.be/R4OIZJljMWA?t=3
I once was listening to a song in a cafe in Pakistan and couldn't find it. Me and friends did: - Shazam a few times - Ask the restaurant folks if they can look at some screen to get us the name, apparently it was on a screenless mp3 player - I recorded a sample of it - I tried all fingerprinting services apart from Shazam - Posted on a few subreddits, found the base song, a daft punk song but not exact one - I looked…

Apparently Dan and Glenn had 4 hours to write and submit the song! Imagine throwing together a song in 4 hours and then finding out that people loved the song so much that they tracked you online 25 year later.

If anyone is into musical mysteries, there's a bunch of Zappa fragments that might be quotes from his or others' works, something that he did all the time: https://www.zappateers.com/fzshows/mystery.html Every time I hear #4, I think a bit of La donna è mobile, ...
This reminds me of how much I miss watching X-Files back in the days. Such a good show.
I fondly remember getting Little Caesars pizza every Friday after soccer practice and coming home to stay up late with my dad and watch the new X-Files. The 90's truly were the best decade.
> Producers used the Compact Disc's pregap, so a listener would have to actually manually rewind the first track a full nine minutes to hear two additional hidden tracks, "Time Jesum Transeuntum Et Non Riverentum" and a cover of The X-Files theme song, both performed by Nick Cave and Dirty Three.[20] This is hinted at in the album's liner booklet, which notes "Nick Cave and the Dirty Three would like you to know that "0" is also a number".[21] The use of these hidden tracks has been described as "just the sort of surprise one might have suspected from a show that deals in unexplainable mysteries".[22] Not all CD or DVD players will allow the album to be "rewound" back to these tracks as this violates Red Book standards.[23]
