Ever hate the feeling when you spend hours searching for something and get no where? (lemmy.world)

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

What were they?

[-] crohnenberg@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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!

[-] pacoboyd@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] crohnenberg@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

Email address: info@nightpeoplenyc.com

Never hurts to ask.

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?

Edit - ooo, this might be it - https://m.soundcloud.com/plasticplates/scion-a-v-mix-for-night-people?in=wkndrd%2Fsets%2Fdj-mixtapes

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.
