I like making weird noise music involving samples. Some of my favorites have been sample CDs from the 90s, and using archive.org to look through PSAs and old news broadcasts. But it's really difficult finding anything good in the piles of just...local community radio and the mountains of college lectures. I like finding stuff that's really eerie or odd, like that one recording of that time the US tried scaring the Viet Cong with scary ghost noises (which didn't work lmao :uncle-ho-2: )

Does anyone else have a more streamlined approach or do any of y'all have any favorite media that's esoteric/creepy?

      I just went there and one of the top posts is that time in 1996 everyone at the DNC did the macarena. This is the only good subreddit now

        One guy on that sub uploads stuff to the Internet Archives, too - the guy who just did the Classical Loon 2 post. That might be worth checking out.
