is there a website where you can input chords and then it will play said chords?

Some years back, Skot (I think) shared a fantastic YT video of amateur footage taken at a 1960s American high school concert featuring a super charming garage band among others, singer kinda looked like David Byrne, anyone recall this?

When the actor Gina McKee first came to prominence, I thought "Oh, she's the one from that advert on TV for some car wax where the joke is she's been hired to sit on the car and deliver her lines to camera but the wax is so good she keeps sliding off".
But now I can't find any reference to this online and I wonder if I mistook her for someone else. A Dulux paint ad though, so she was definitely working in that area.

some time in the early 2010s I found a website dedicated to golden age turn-of-the-20th-century illustrators. one of the works I remember was a calendar depicting countryfolk engaged in seasonally appropriate customs/rituals such as harvest festivals. iirc the illustrations had a bit of a pagan flavor, and Celtic gods may or may not have featured in certain scenes. think Arthur Rackham meets The Wicker Man. the project was originally conceived as a calendar and wasn't just some modern product assembled from old illustrations. I'd guess that the artist was a British man active between the 1900s and 1920s, but I could be wrong on that. anyone know what I mean? so far google has been of no help whatsoever, and the site I discovered it on is probably long gone

1. Diary of High School Nerd - pretty sure this was pretty close to the right name, but now all I can see to find are links to High School Musical fanfic. This was a kid who self-described as a comedy nerd, over the course of it I believe he either transferred from a religious school to a public one or vice versa. I think the guy who wrote it went on to do some comedy writing on the web at one point.
Drives me crazy wondering if I just hallucinated this one, but I've still been unable to find it. Every few months I try new combinations of words to try and find it, but no dice.

There's a dude who had a website called something like Diary Of A Nerd, he was called Andrew Hicks? I googled him some time ago and he'd become a daddy blogger.
― Daniel_Rf, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 16:41 (three years ago) link
Holy shit, yes! Andrew Hicks was the name, thanks for that! Found a few articles about him from 2011 that reference a blog that resurrected his original writing, but unfortunately all those links appear to be dead now. Thanks for that much though, I couldn’t even come up with his name which wasn’t aiding my googling.

I was going through The Oregonian's archives and found this ad for a pizza restaurant…… in 1957. Yes I realize it was probably not great pizza, but the toppings sound intensely appealing to me. I need to recreate all of these!! pic.twitter.com/TAaV03BlJR— Neven Mrgan (@mrgan) September 8, 2020

Two things I can't find
1. This is an arthouse film I saw on TV in the early or mid 90s, it was one of those films on an un-dressed white set, like Dogville. There was a man trying to get some advice in his life, he was told to marry a rich widow, so he did this, then went with the widow to the USA. The border guard gave them hamburgers and coca cola, they said "but we don't like hamburgers and coca cola" and he said "sure, everyone likes hamburger and coca cola" - I have no idea whether this was a good or a bad film, I watched it with my dad who was not at all impressed, but that scene has stuck with me for at least 25 years.
2. A Japanese (possibly Korean) sitcom which I used to watch in China in 2006 (so probably from 2000-2005) - it was called "(Man's Name)'s Diary" and was about a strong, dumb, harmless guy and his relationship with his petite wife who he was terrified of, standard enough sitcom fare but it was ridiculously cartoonish, to an almost Lazytown level, but it was an adult show.
