Sending drunken, slightly irate, awkwardly worded, overly formal emails of complaint really does work!

Remember that great album you heard or had years and years ago? You know, the one that you can't find anywhere. For some reason no one has it, or even heard of it.

I was thinking about an album like that a while ago, and after a few beers decided to send one of those ill advised drunken, slightly irate, awkwardly worded, overly formal emails of complaint, to the artist.

Hello,
Many years ago I heard an album by a group called "Itch-E & Scratch-E".
I very much enjoyed listening to this album, and would much appreciate doing so again.
I have looked and looked, and cannot find said album anywhere on the inter-web.
Can you please direct me to a proprietor that has, in stock; the album "Itch-E & scratch-E and friends",
This album had songs with themes ranging from "wolves howling" to "space station number 5".

Thank you for your time, and consideration,

Having completely forgotten about the whole thing, I went on with my life.
7 months exactly (to the day) later I actually got a response:

We are in the process of making this album available in itunes.

Keep an eye on http://www.paulmac.com.au/ for updates.

Kind regards,

Adele.

 Yay! At the time, I couldn't find a single reference to the album, and soon it's going to be on iTunes. Yes you heard it here first: "Itch-E and Scratch-E ... and friends"cira 1994, will soon be available on iTunes! Pity I don't/won't/can't bring myself to ever use iTunes. oh well.

So the moral of the story is that I should send drunken emails, (especially to "famous" people) complaining about random crap that I can't even find a reference to more often ....
