I have been doing some long overdue organizing of the 300+ files in my downloaded folder. I have a habit of downloading stuff there and not moving it on to a final location or not deleting it. Today was the day I tackled it.

In there, I found two mp3s I have zero recollection of: Can I Sit Next to You by Spoon and how do you sleep? by LCD Soundsystem. A look at my order history shows I bought these in March 2021.

...why?

Normally I would think I heard them in a cab or in a show or something, but March 2021 I wasn't going f'ing anywhere. Google does not link these songs (as in, in a movie soundtrack) other than that they were both released in 2017.

Anybody have any idea why I would have heard these songs? I mean, I like them. But I usually immediately put purchased music into a playlist. It is weird to have two random mp3s I don't remember buying hanging out in the downloaded folder. Like the time I was downloading music from Napster and ended up with the song Darkness Darkness by Screaming Trees because someone had mislabeled a file.

Hmm. Looks like the Spoon song was used in a show called The Royals? I couldn't find the other one used as a TV or movie soundtrack either.

When I find random songs not in my usual styles of music, I usually originally heard them because someone used them in a fanvid!

My last theory was that they were from the fanvids at Escapadecon, which I attended virtually that month. But no! I also had the vid program in that folder and neither of those songs are there!
