Yeah, it sucks. Spent the evening trying to find two foreign movies. One I couldn’t find anywhere(DDL, public trackers, and a private tracker) and the other I did find but locked behind a paid account for a ddl that I’m not sure is even legit. Combined with an EP I’ve had set on SS for years and combed everywhere. This is why preservation is important y’all
It’s especially rough when you remember seeing it on the internet before and even had it yourself at one point. There are/were a bunch of music artists I discovered at both the old eMusic and the music section of old download.com, but those collections weren’t archived anywhere in any meaningful way when the sites changed. It took me years to finally locate what I was after. It’s just so draining to know that something used to easily and freely available and to not be able to find it no matter how hard to dig.
Exactly, like the one EP was given away for FREE by a well liked artist by a large brand(Blu Jemz - Scion Radio Host Night People EP) but no where to be found
we joke about nothing disappearing from the internet, here is a perfect example of that not being the case.
i have a short list of files ive been attempting to get higher res versions of, but every time i go and look, the resources get fewer, even for those bad res copies, if they are still there at all.
i once had to buy a disk off … ebay. that was a low day.

gasp
I’ve had to do it before myself, a few times. I always justify it by ripping the movie, cd, tape, etc and posting it up somewhere. Feels more like I’m doing my part that way
A lot of french dubs of cartoon /anime are now lost media. A small team of dedicated fans have been looking for the french dub of Keroro Gunso for years and despite being really famous when it aired it’s nowhere to be found . A second Exemple is the cartoon network chowder which seems to have vanished from earth like it never existed.
Theres a torrent on 1337x for chowder tho
The french dub ?
Ohh no I’m sorry I don’t think its french, I interpreted you wrong
Np. Thanks for looking anyway.
What were they?
No Life King (1991), Geylang(2022), and one of the more attainable personals grails is the EP by Blu Jemz that Scion put out as part of their Scion Radio Host EP series called Night People
English sub version here for No Life King - https://rarefilmm.com/2023/05/no-raifu-kingu-1991/
There are dl links are behind a password, but the main page has it embedded for watching from the site or you can probably use a tube downloader to snatch it.
Oh damn, I thought I checked that site as it was listed here. Thank you!
My pleasure. There appears to be a 1989 version as well under the Japanese name which is what led me to it.
Am I missing something? The EP appears to be available here: https://open.spotify.com/album/77E5dT4pBw3VFno1qdRanb
Yes, only 1 song is available to stream, the others aren’t
Pretty sure I saw a sound cloud account for them. You might try engaging with them there and seeing if they would be willing to post it up.
Through my personal project on archiving Scion AV releases, many artists have been great help and some have went out of their way. Unfortunately Blu Jemz passed away years ago and I’ve tried reaching out to that email as well as associates and never gotten a response. But you’re absolutely right and I think more people should try going to the source sometimes
I’m still trying here - https://www.mixcloud.com/TheStandard/guest-dj-blu-jemz/
I don’t suppose this is it?
If not, do you have any more details on it?
I really do appreciate the help and the persistence, but those are not it. The first is a mix Blu Jen’s did for The Standard(giveaway is Diana Ross is not on the EP that is visible on Spotify and also on discogs linked below, and the second is a mix Plastic Plates did for Blu Jemz radio show on Scion Radio.
I know that’s confusing, but basically Scion had several web radio stations back in the day with hosts such as Blu Jemz and then each of Thais hosts had a little EP to promote their own station.

I usually assume that if I don’t find it in under ten minutes it doesn’t exist.
I still haven’t had luck finding for the Wheel Squad cartoon, I want to rewatch it because I remember one scene that seemed pretty eerie to me as a youngling.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/playlist?list=PLPDIDwygjrSFhxSOZTpU6K2Ddfu3Hq_Ni

Good bot.
Oh yeah, this is a nice source, and actually I think they got it from Amazon French version but I think it is not complete and well, it is on french, I know it would be impossible to find it on latin Spanish as it is the version I watched, but even English would be fine for this rare case.
Does the closed caption auto translate work for French to Spanish?
I didn’t try it because normally CC fails a bit, this being on French I wouldn’t notice, so it is not the best I guess, but it is worth a try!
Another option if you have a nice Nvidia card is to use WhisperAI to autogen / translate subs for you. I’ve not used that feature of it yet, but I know it’s available.
