One craigslist user in Watertown, however, is partying like it’s 1996 and is charging you $5 to come take OMC’s debut album “How Bizarre” off his or her bands.
OMC — or Otara Millionaires Club for those who weren’t a teenager 20 years ago or never watched a lot of Pop-Up Video — were a New Zealand pop group known for one hit, and one hit only, the once-ubiqitious “How Bizarre.”

But this craiglist user ain’t pimping no CD single — one lucky buyer can score the entire 11-song album (including “hidden track” closer “I Love LA,” which is actually a fucking Randy Newman cover tacked on to the 1997 re-issue), released by Mercury Records two decades ago. The seller lists the CD condition as “good” and “very good,” both of which are impressive as we’re sure the CD has gotten a lot of action over the years.
