false_memory
raze is there a lost media archive for things you must have imagined? i'm asking for a friend. and that friend is a younger version of me. i remember hearing a song on the radio as a child. an oldies station. a pounding proto-punk beat. a man moaning "gooey louie" in a guttural voice, over and over again. it wasn't the kingsmen. it was nothing like "louie louie". i could rig up a reasonable replica if i had a pocket of peace deep enough to sink my salted fingers into. that's how clearly i can still hear it inside my head all these years later. but no song that answers to that name or description seems to exist. what i really want to know now is this: how many morsels of music have i fallen for that were never real at all? how many people? 260316
