I want someone to upload a version of Kraftwerk's "Electric Cafe" at 45rpm to Youtube. This is what was used as the Sprockets theme song.

Also I want more Sprockets!

A very whimsical documentary called something like 'Happy Birthday Piter" or "Happy Birthday St. Petersburg" (Russia, not FL) that has lots of interviews with 40-somethings about their lives and contains the line 'Perhaps I can cut you a thinner gerkin?' I think it came out about 7 years ago.

A year or two ago I found an archive of what appeared to be a currently running public access show (or an otherwise obscure local television show). Probably from the greater New England area? I think it was called "____'s Show". The tagline of the show was "____'s Show is your show." It seemed like every episode had different hosts, or were pulled from a large pool of hosts.

Frustratingly any link to a sale on an Acid Jazz box set that was on my facebook feed this morning. Supposed to be through Harmless records but I can't see the box listed on their homepage, even for full price.

I can't find the thing that was on my feed earlier either. Assume that any time i go into facebook from another source i'm not going to find exactly the same feed as I had earlier anyway. Plus I don't think I was intentionally linked or subscribed to anything to do with harmless records. Did wonder why it was on my feed but it did look tempting.
I just was on my phone when i first saw it and have far less access or display on that than on my computer. Now can't find it again. Looked on their Facebook page and it seems to be weeks behind the current date and no sign of the offer which I think was newer.

a gif, or even a video or img of some old hanna barbera / looney tunes etc. cartoon (surely this happened in more than one) where a cat goes through a wash/dry cycle and floats out in a big puffball.

écorché (S-), Tuesday, 2 June 2015 07:44 (eleven years ago)

Perhaps you wanted a more generic/anonymous cat but I remembered this happening in the Pink Panther and there it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y94584UUw1Q

Feel like there's a Tom and Jerry too but I'm at work and should probably stop watching cartoons.

thanks a passing spacecadet. I seem to remember it happening by accident? I dunno. Keep watching cartoons at work!

one Christmas -- I wanna say around 1991 -- A Current Affair did a Christmas song; some singers came on with I think just a simple mall-piano accompaniment, these were piano-lounge types. It was clearly just a lark somebody ran with, the credits ran over it while the singers mugged: "A Current Affair! Satanic killings! A Current Affair!" etc.

tune's been stuck in my head ever since but the internet does not seem to remember it.

when's international me day? (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 26 November 2015 06:52 (ten years ago)

there are a few skits from the tracey ullman show that i remember fondly and precisely that simply do not exist on the internet, all these many years later. no scripts, no videos.

there was also a list put together by some british music magazine -- a list of great heartbreak songs, called "heartbreakers." it was a pretty interesting mix of the well-known and the obscure, ranging across genres (rock, soul, country, pop, etc.) and decades (from the 1940s to the early 2000s IIRC). i learned about a lot of great music from this list, which /was/ on the internet once upon a time. but in the past decade it seems to have entirely disappeared.

wizzz! (amateurist), Thursday, 26 November 2015 10:50 (ten years ago)

it had songs by lewis taylor, slapp happy, don covay, scott walker, etc. etc.
