So the Library of Babel for music?

^ search that bookmarked page in the Library of Babel for “jeans” ;)

On another note, since melodies can be encoded into a text format, the Library of Babel has actually done this too.

Heck, there’s a page in the Library of Babel that reads “Your honor, Lady Gaga will one day steal this melody from the library of babel, encoded here in text format: {melody for ‘Shallow’}”

which may look something like this (search “lady gaga” https://libraryofbabel.info/bookmark.cgi?vakuygoqaattmqm315 )

Sounds awesome. I agree with this 100% (both your sarcastic statement AND libraryofbabel)
