Say when, I'll stop twisting your arm

I have a sudden insane need to listen to August Everywhere by Blinker the Star and I can't find it. I can't find it. Well, I know where it is, it is in one of the dozens upon dozens boxes of CDs and records that are stashed in the "storage" bedroom, hopefully not crushing one another after two years of being stacked on top of one another. I never put it into iTunes and I need to hear it now now now and iTMS doesn't sell it and I desperately need to hear it. I have two copies of it even! (A promo and a finished copy!) You know what I do have is a 7" of ... something, with a sparkly cover, which I bought for like $1 when Let It Be was going out of business last year, but I don't think that's even a single off the album and the only way I could listen to it right now is if I, like, played it with a fingernail. (Which totally works, by the way! I used to do that with my "Do They Know It's Christmas?" 45! But I don't want to do that with THAT.)

I have it on a MiniDisc, so maybe I need to dig the MD equipment up and out to hear it. But I need to hear it. I desperately need to hear it. Can anyone hook me up? James, you're Canadian, c'mon, you must have it around someplace. I need to hear it. I need to hear it.

(N.B., this is after two nice pint-sized [not pint-sized as in small but pint-sized as in a pint] screwdrivers made with Shakers Rose and Chambord. LOVE IT. I live.) (Ohmigod I said it!)

If you love Steely Dan and Luke Wilson the way I love Steely Dan and Luke Wilson, this may be the greatest thing you've ever read.

August Everywhere. Do you have it? Please give me it.
