its okay because despiD already sent it, but as an unspoken rule, NEVER say that you are from the lost media wiki. never make it look like you are from a group of people searching. heres what i would have sent: "Hello, I’m from the Lost Media Wiki and I’ve been looking into a snippet of a song.."" anyways, your message was great, but next time try not to mention a search effort or the lmw. some things are better unsaid.
oh, okay. should i delete the message and resend without the lmw part?
i think maybe its fine this time but usually we use that rule incase people have bad experiences with the lost media community and it derails a search.

Could you explain why you shouldn't? I find that "logic" stupid and unfounded.
it's not my logic, it's an unspoken rule in this community. I've made the mistake before and that's why I know. if you go on the discord then you would see people peer reviewing messages to contacts all the time, and most of the time we have that same conversation about not mentioning the LMW or a search effort. sometimes the LMA like to message contacts and act unprofessional, (I think it's actually happened with EKT) and in a more extreme scenario, mess the whole thing up by trolling or demanding whatever they are looking for. *edit i meant to say this because what they do, blemishes the whole community and some people see that as all of us.
Anyways I didn't do a whole explanation of why we don't do that but basically my logic is; don't mention the lost media community so you don't accidentally burn a bridge with a contact.
FYI, apparently Scritti has already been contacted and this lead has been debunked according to the subreddit
can you send a link to prove that? I couldn't seem to find anything.
It’s now a “non-discussable topic” because it was debunked apparently, here’s a moderator saying that here: https://www.reddit.com/r/everyoneknowsthat/comments/1aqfkw6/new_automods_say_goodbye_to_tiktok_links_and/
edit: how tf did I misspell “discussable” as “portable” lmao

That sucks but I maintain my stance EKT will be solved within the year.
We’re extremely close to cracking this, I can just feel it. With people working on automated programs to scour the entire web for mentions, this song going viral on TikTok, and more, it’s definitely gonna be found this year.
As for Osny Melo, he’s been contacted and is aware of this search now, a response is just needed As for the unknown Texas artist, we don’t know who it is, but we’re digging into the phone number and building on the CD As for Johnny Glove, we know barely anything about him, there’s little trace of him on the internet.
I live close to the area where the song in Texas was recorded, perhaps I can go on a 2-hourish drive over there soon because I know for a fact in that general area, there’s a thrift store with TONS (and I mean TONS, like 200-250) of random music CDs there, so I can go there and look to see if I can find a disc made in the same building, or perhaps I could stumble across the Johnny Glove cassette album or something.
Unsure about White Mike, but the other 2 have been debunked. Osny confirmed it wasn't him as seen here: www.reddit.com/r/everyoneknowsthat/comments/1aohuz4/it_is_not_osny_melo/ Edit: The creator of the "unknown" song (Vincent Clark) has been stated to not be it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/everyoneknowsthat/comments/1aooh41/potential_leads_re_the_vince_clark_and_reggie/

yeah it’s pretty much proven that the James Brook mentioned in the post is fake and the songs are stolen from another artist
but there’s another James Brook artist from the 90s iirc, so to me it’s a giant 50/50 rn, we’re just waiting for the guy with the casette to upload it to see if this “Presence” song is the real deal or not

The label on the cassette is way TOO well preserved to really be something from 1989. Unfortunately I think that when the guy digitizes the tape it will be a rickroll or smth like that.
Until then, I recommend you to keep your expectations low.

Yeah my expectations aren’t high because it is somewhat suspicious, but it should be uploaded in a few hours so it may aswell have a chance

Hey, can one of you who knows the correct language required contact the radio station 107.3 CITE-FM? (context: https://www.reddit.com/r/everyoneknowsthat/comments/1avdagh/hear_me_out_on_this_one_i_may_have_narrowed_down/) If they truly did play it at one point, then this could be a good source of potential unsearched information
If you can’t send it, I can if a draft can be made.
