Can’t find it now but there was an article or video floating around a couple weeks ago about how supposedly with the rise of titok as a music marketing tool, songs are getting shorter. Or at least the kinds of songs that someone would want to have currency on tiktok. If I recall it had to do with specific song structure changes, like bridges not being used or the number of times the chorus gets repeated throughout a song.

Oh yeah, probably not. I’m stumped too!

How old is the house? Wonder if it could be an old well room. In my area it was common to have well rooms with pump equipment, even for houses built in the 50s. When houses went to city water, mostly they just removed everything and cemented over the well pipe. But it seems plausible that someone just sealed the whole room up if that for some reason seemed easier. The house I grew up in had some kind of well room machinery that had to be removed in the early nineties and I recall it being a big to-do (though I was a kid) based on the size/weight and room dimensions.
