That thing you could’ve sworn you existed, remembered existed and how it has now turned into a great wonder of a chase to acquire again after so long. What is that thing for you?
Mine is discovering what music was played during an old internet radio show I still listen to was. The episodes I’m listening to are 21 years old now and for years I wondered what specific tracks were played on that show that I so want copies of. In one of the episodes, the host mentions that the backing music is from Digitally Imported now known as DI.FM.
However, that doesn’t do me any good since newer music is played now on that platform and with no hint or source telling me what tracks were played on that show in show notes or even word of mouth, I’ve no hope in tracking them down. So for so long, I’ve had to listen to this show’s episodes almost religiously, just because of the music that was played.
And my only hope now is tinkering with audio tools so I can figure a way to rip out the parts where the hosts are talking so it is just the music, then go around online asking people who’re more expert on the genre than I am to tell me, then find them and download them.

Two things:
An article about a blockade of kayaks that were in an Eastern US port preventing warships from leaving the country to go to the war in Iraq. It was spearheaded by Quakers and was part of the impetus the Bush admin wanted to use to charge Quakers as terrorists. Quakers are one of the few religious groups that are by default conscientious objectors and cannot be drafted into the military due to the non-violence aspects of their religion. I have been able to find evidence that the Bush admin was toying with prosecuting Quakers, but not this specific event.
An article about musicians suing their record company for money made from suing individuals for file sharing. The record companies always argued that the people doing music piracy were stealing from the musicians, but the musicians had to sue their record company to see a penny of that money.
All together I have literally spent days and days over the years trying to find these. I have a fairly good memory and everything else I remember from that period of time I have been able to dig to find the source. These two elude me and it kills me.
