HAPPY ENDING: thank you so much to forget_why, who managed to get the song to me! This is the Very Best Bar!

Yes, this is slightly ridiculous. But isn't it nice that our Bar is the kind of place where the members feel comfortable with making ridiculous requests?

A few weeks back, I came up with an idea for an Avengers fanmix. It was my fastest ever assembled mix, in fact - I had the tracklisting settled in less than an hour, and I spent fifteen minutes sourcing pics for the covers, and another fifteen making them. The only problem? I can't get my hands on one of the songs!!!

Specifically, 'The Skyscraper Blues' by Tony Bennett.

I can't seem to find it, or the only album it's on ('Hometown, my town') on any free websites - not even Pirate Bay! I can't find this CD at any of the libraries I'm a member of (and one of them is now on an interlibrary network, which means it's not in about 20 libraries!). I would be happy to buy this off amazon or similar, but... amazon and iTunes won't sell you anything downloadable unless you have a US account, including a legitimate US address and US-issued credit card/itunes voucher. Amazon.uk is the same, only substitute 'United Kingdom'. I can't find this song on iTunes Australia at all, and... to be honest, even if I could I wouldn't because the 60% markup for the exact same damn song/mp3file you would buy in the US offends me on a personal level.

I could change the song, maybe, but it's so damn fitting!!!

So anyway, is there anybody out there who has a copy of this song they could upload to rapidgator, mediafile or similar so I could download it? If there's someone out there willing to buy it I'm happy to pay you back, or even swap music, if there's some rare music you're looking for that I might have or be able to source? Heck, I'll write some BlackHawk fic on request if you'd like!

*puppy dog eyes* Pretty, pretty, please, with my almost-finished (and completely sourced) BlackHawk fanmix on top??
