-I first became aware of Yugoslav war music around 2015 when i stumbled across the Kocayine video for Jadna Bosno suverena. From there on I found channels like Sak0 and artists like [[Roki Vulović]] and [[Baja Mali Knindža]]. At that time it was all very surface level and was just something mildly interesting that I didn't think about much.

-My YouTube channel was made around April 2019 when I started doing mapping videos of dubious quality. Around that time I also regained my interest in Yugoslav war music and started looking a bit deeper into the topic. I wanted to find more albums, and learn about events from the war, and eventually I found people like [[Pirgo]].

 I would go on to buy my first tape, [[Živeće ovaj narod]], on the 11th of February 2020, followed by [[Srpskim radikalima]], [[Gara iz Nemačke]], and many more after that.

-Around 3 years ago I submitted the album Glas Trebave - Tri planina, tri brata to Discogs, as a regular submission, not thinking much of it. Well turns out you're not allowed to submit stuff from the internet and especially not if the releases "don't even exist". Now, I really didn't know that izvorna dump channels remove label logos from their scans, but after finding that out and noticing that the Glas Trebave album had a doctored J-card scan, I decided to vote on the removal of the listing. Well turns out the Discogs moderators really didn't like that.
