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…

More generally, these are instances of Lostwave: https://www.reddit.com/r/Lostwave/

Somewhat related, in that involves the X-Files and hidden songs, the CD of X-Files related music had a "Track 0" that can be accessed by rewinding beyond 0:00 of track 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songs_in_the_Key_of_X:_Music_f... > 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 Tr…

I remember finding that secret track based on that "0 is also a number" and being blown away. IIRC there's at least one other secret song in another track's pre-roll.

Why do people use twitter as a blog post platform? Why can't she write a blog post and share it on twitter?

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

Google Assistant is better these days, in my experiments.

Kinda similar, I've been forever looking for this classical song played at the end of Stargate Atlantis S05E03 https://youtube.com/watch?v=ostmot-zVDs

I think I read somewhere the guy died who made the song (and was going to release it), but probably lost forever now :( https://forum.gateworld.net/stargate-atlantis/episodes/seaso...

Makes 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: https://www.musipedia.org/js_piano.html First 5 hits were not the track (knowing how to read score helps here), but…

Huh, I also recognize that tune from a dj set. Going out on a limb here, but is the one you have in mind The Outrunners at Razzmatazz? It would have been on the VALERIE blog in 2009ish. Here's a link: https://www.mixcloud.com/pierre-de-la-touche/the-outrunners-...

Nah, different one. I prefer yours :)
