I was saying something similar here recently. Except the old pages are dying off, too, due to lack of maintenance with an increasing number not in the Wayback Machine. Both the Google and rotting old pages make sense to me but not Wayback losing pages. Unless it operate like a cache instead of permanent storage. Just a really, really, big cache. Could also be a glitch.
The article is a few days old, and was highly rated on HN for awhile. So Google probably indexed it, followed his link to the music article, and thereby “fixed” the problem for now.

I tried to reproduce his observation and noticed something strange.
When I use !google on DuckDuckGo then his music article is the first hit. When I search using google.com his article doesn’t show up at all.
