LOST MEDIA
Last Updated: 4 February 2024
What is Lost Media?
As the name implies, Lost Media is media - in this case, songs and artwork - that is generally no longer accessable. A lot of early music from HFS has been removed from streaming services; most early tracks were initially posted to Bandcamp, but were removed for one reason or another. Archive.org is able to provide the original webpages, but not the mp3 tracks, nor the image files for certain releases.
So what is the goal here? I'd like to see a full HFS discography - complete with artwork - developed. I've been able to recover certain tracks (with slightly-less-than-ethical means), but there's still quite a few that have yet to be found. If you have any of these tracks, please email me at hfsfanblog[at]protonmail.com! Even if you don't feel comfortable sharing the files, I'd like to know that someone, somewhere, has them.
I do have 'custody' of quite a few previously missing tracks, but won't be uploading any at this time to respect the wishes of Chris/HFS. Feel free to email me if you'd like to hear any of them, I could do with spreading these about on the down low if you know what I mean.

List of Misc. References/Notes
