It is indeed a crazy world
Remember this post from Feb. 24, when I mentioned that I was one song away from having in my possession every single Top 40 (on the Billboard Hot 100) hit from the 1970s and 1980s? The one song remaining was Mac McAnally's "It's A Crazy World," which was not available at the iTunes Store and had only seen a brief release on CD.
I was doing some Christmas surfing on Amazon.com tonight and thought I'd check in again on my old friend Mac, and HOLY FLERKING SCHNIT, his album showed up in the Amazon MP3 Store (not just the regular CD store). I zipped over to the iTunes Store and saw it was there, too. I swear it wasn't as recently as 3 days ago.
Short story even shorter, I bought it. And now my collection is complete. All that's left is upgrading low-quality vinyl transfers and such. I feel triumphant but also a little sad that the 13+ year hunt is over. Now I can either move on to the much harder but more rewarding 1960s, or the easy but dreadful 1990s (actually, only 1995-1998 are required).
