Does anyone else have songs from artists who perhaps never made it beyond a handful of fans? I have some songs I treasure, got the CDs from the musicians or friends over 10yrs ago, but they've dropped out of the radar and I can't find them anywhere. Just their voice haunting my speakers like a sweet ghost. There's also an mp3 I got off a yahoo group, around 2005. I like the song, but it has no artist name, no title, just a voice and a guitar, perhaps home recorded.
@dilmandila I have some songs from the old Limewire days from a band out of Kansas (I think?) called Samsell. I know nothing about them, and google has never helped me much, but damn I love their music. Every time I hear one of their songs I wish I had more.

Have the mp3s from a ripped demo cd of this acoustic guitarist Katie Yearick who used to play coffee shops and small venues in upstate New York in the late 90ās. Have transferred those files from multiple laptops, pcs and mp3 players over the years.

@dilmandila I got a rip of a folk rock CD from the early aughts, courtesy of some family member (forgot who). The band used to have a website, which has long gone offline, they have a singular Discogs entry, and aren't on any streaming platforms.
Pity, because the songs are bangers, too.

@dilmandila and until recently, one of my favourite nu metal bands, LeVeL, was basically a "everyone in this niche heard of them, nobody outside ever has, they put out one CD in 2005 and vanished" type deal. Couple years back they reformed though and went on Spotify and such.

@dilmandila (a band called "Level" with an album called "Level", you can imagine how ungoogleable they were)

@dilmandila I still have songs from my brothers' old bands stuck in my head.

@dilmandila Totally. Thereās a guy named Steven Emerson I used to see perform with his band pretty often in the SF Bay Area 25 years ago or so, and while he put out a couple of albums, Iāve never met anyone outside of one of his shows who knows who he is. Great crooner.
Cool thing is itās so easy now to get on streaming, and heās there, so anyone can find him.
Also, I had a band back in college, and our demo tapes are on streaming. I hope that we are that band for some folksā¦

@dilmandila Yeah, I have loved and appreciated many small artists, some now well forgotten, or who've withdrawn early works from distribution.
I'm archiving their work from time to time, although I'm lagging behind about it.
Here's a favourite:
The October Country - Clean Kills and Other Trophies

@amberage š
I wonder if some of the names we pick for ourselves now will not make much sense to people in future. -

https://archive.org/details/the-october-country-clean-kills-and-other-trophies@HauntedOwlbear This is cool! Though I wonder about copyrights, if they would mind....?
-
@dilmandila YES! Well, had. I remember hearing a song on a guitar mag cover CD a very long time ago (20-30 years). Might have been Total Guitar. I've never been able to track down the band or anything else they ever did.
Song was called Chicken, and I think the band was called Sault St(e?) Marie, which is practically un-Googleable because it's the name of at least 2 towns where other bands have come from.@woe2you @dilmandila at the days before you had to consult an SEO expert when naming your band.

The CD itself is listed on Discogs, but yeah, can't find the song or band anywhere and this is the only recording of them apparently.

@dilmandila Honestly, I hope they get in touch to complain, then I can ask them about preserving their other CDs!
The band and micro-label have both vanished off the face of the earth, so I'm considering this to be both music preservation and bait.

@dilmandila I got a cassette in the late nineties from a black metal band called Perished. I played it a lot and it is my lost white whale. The cassette is lost and the band probably quit 30 years ago. But my memories still lives š

@dilmandila absolutely. Living in Maryland growing up, punk band Active Sac. Then in Florida later, bands like Pygmy and Monster Zero. When I lived in New Hampshire, too. Sometimes bands that may even have been kinda loved locally a little but NO ONE would know their names if you mentioned them to someone (The Gravel Pit from MA).

@dilmandila tons. Obscure demo tapes, self released CD-Rs, sometimes even DIY 7" vinyl. Love that stuff.

@dilmandila I was hugelt involved in the metro Atlanta music scene 10-15 years ago, and I have a few dozen albums that, probably, I'm the only person to still (or ever) have a copy.
There's a line from one of them that I quote often enough that I had to upload the song, so people would know what I was talking about.

@dilmandila sorta related: there is an internet radio station i love that is small and plays reruns of their friday show all the way back to like 2006. The other day i was listening and found 3 songs I liked. Shazam could recognize them but they weren't avaliable anywhere. I think only 1 artist was on tidal with a different album and one artist was on bandcamp with a different album. The 3rd functionally didnt exist. If I hadn't heard the 2006 rerun Id never have heard the songs!

@evan These people complaining how they canāt keep any water at their bedsides because cat either havenāt discovered bottles or have super advanced cats with opposable thumbs.
-
@evan I used to, but I also have my desktop computer next to my bed, because it was the only realistic way to lay things out. And after an accident which cost me $2000 in computer parts, I decided I could go downstairs if I was thirsty in the middle of the night.
-
@evan
I only keep a glass, and It's totally full, but mostly not water or any such substance.
-
@evan Yes indeed. Middle of the night thirst quench is one of lifeās little pleasures.
-
@evan Thanks, I saw the warning first and will heed it š
