orangerfulNPR emailed out their list of the top albums of 2007, which of course sent me right to the library catalog (what, you think I'm going to buy these albums?) Anyway, much to my chagrin, our system doesn't own any of these albums!!! Grrr.
So I'm typing in titles into MARINA, the first step in interlibrary loan. The search system is a bit sketchy so you don't always get the most logical results. I typed in Easy Tiger, the title of the new Ryan Adams CD. And while I'm going down the list to see if the album is in the results, what do I find? This awesome set - Fraggle Rockin'.
Of course, it's owned by Baltimore County and they won't lend CDs. Blah. But it will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine. (Seriously, I'm a librarian, they should allow ILL of CDs to other librarians! Come ON BC, AACPL would hook you up if you asked!)
Looking at the track listing, I know most of those songs. In fact, I think I know the lyrics to the first CD in the set. Hm...yes those are so going on my Wishlist!
