    @mmiasma Thanks for sharing! I looked through the archive and made my first discovery: Camper Van Beethoven! I didn't know about this gem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jns0zMT6TME. One threat to the project is that everything is published on YouTube and may disappear one day. Although, hopefully, others will have made copies by then.

    @mmiasma And let me tell y'all, this is not nearly as easy as you might guess. That kind of R2R media often has a lot of problems, especially over time, that require special knowledge and tools to deal with. 'Heroic' hardly begins to describe this effort.

    @mmiasma For a minute I thought that was Kevin Sorbo. Kevin would _ never_ do this. Probably plays with his shitty Christian music collection.

    @mmiasma This is great, but it will get swallowed up by the AI slop machine and spit out without artist compensation.
