Why is the page trying to load a bunch of resources from my localhost? Looking at the console, I'm seeing (obviously failed) requests like:

> http://127.0.0.1/Silk%20Static/Silkura%20-May%2002%20-loop.m...

The link in question is actually "http://yurivish.com/Silk%20Static/Silkura%20-May%2002%20-loo... - yurivish.com seems to be a loop to localhost (maybe broken DNS or something, I don't know). Apparently it's supposed to have some music playing in the background, as is also indicated in the message when you click the question icon in the top right corner.

Hmm... is there an archive for DNS entries, like the Internet Archive acts as for actual content?

Edit: Apparently there is dnshistory.org. Looks like the registration expired for that domain in 2013, so I don't know why it's resolving to anything. But the A record used to point to 74.208.41.229, which seems to still be listening on port 80 but is just 404ing.
