‘I don’t know if this counts but I made an Elf Yourself video of my kids on JibJab around 2007 or 2008. It was so funny and we watched it over and over. When JibJab shut it down for the season, you could buy your video on a CD, but I didn’t think we’d want to watch it anymore, so I didn’t. I’ve regretted that decision ever since.’

‘Music from mp3.com. I have a handful of tracks (downloaded over dialup, hence not the full album) from artists that I’ve never found a trace of since mp3.com vanished.’

‘A creepy guy I know made a horrible song about my girlfriend and put it on MySpace. He called me an asshole in the song, but we found it so damn funny. I’ve tried to find it but as far as I know it’s gone forever.’

‘An old General Mills cereal commercial that played in the 80s, which had a song which stuck in my head for 40+ years. It was filmed in soft focus and depicted a mother preparing breakfast for her child. She sang:
‘Breakfast time is special /When you’re young
‘It’s a delicious time, it’s a nutritious time…
‘Idiotic lyrics, yes, but sung in such a sweet, motherly, sing-songy way as to feel like a comforting hug and a mug of hor cocoa.’

‘Then one day it was gone. I’ve watched hours and hours of videos trying to find it. Gone.’

‘Michelle Shocked songs. Unless something changed recently. She said some controversial stuff, got cancelled, then pulled all her songs. As far as I know they aren’t available anywhere online.’

‘Back in the 90s when the internet was a tiny baby I was very much into reading random peoples blogs. There was one by this guy Dave who was a college student and who used to blog about his life and his friends and all the stuff that came with being in college.
‘It was called Dave’s Unexpurgated Tales of Woe or something similar and I often think about what happened to Dave. For some reason he answered a question I asked and we used to keep in touch semi-regularly but just faded out as these things did.’
