The What! Help is on the way. One of my all-time favorites, now almost completely erased from digital history. - Lemmy.World

This album has phenomenal songwriting. It’s got a kind of laid-back LA-surf-rock sound with elements of punk and maybe a hint of wistful country in the lyrics. The album and band appear endangered, unavailable on any music streaming service. The only online version I could find is this a random YouTube upload with almost no views. They were introduced to me by a friend’s sister in, like 1999. Their band ended quickly after the death of one of the members. The only other digital presence related to them now appears to be a remaining band member’s channel, which hasn’t been updated in 11 years. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtzbqcFuFKejZwn5Ewdd9VA [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtzbqcFuFKejZwn5Ewdd9VA]

    Thanks!

    Never used it before. Sort of crazy. Eventually, I suppose we’ll get to the point that a lot of content will only be available through p2p systems. I sometimes wonder what’ll happen to my favorite YouTube videos when Google finally decides it isn’t worth storing all that data.

    There’s a huge segment of the piracy community that’s also doing media preservation. I’ve got a couple gigs of books I’ve scanned in myself that are oop. Most recent was the book sequel to E.T. lol. I don’t have the resources to keep a lot of video, but books I can do :)

    For the YouTube stuff that I can’t bear to see disappear, I make exceptions to that, though. I can’t keep everything, but stuff that really brings me something important, I find space for, even if it’s only on a burned dvd. Download, transfer over to my media PC, burn the disc and hope I never need it

    Hopefully, there’s enough of us out here keeping some things that if the big companies ever shit the bed and go away, there’s some hope of a solution like peertube to fill the gap.
