Kool Kids Music Club
By now you’ve probably seen them. Like Christmas carols in October, every fall brings a new crop of reissued albums: big boxed sets boasting multiple versions of the same songs you know, love and probably already own.
Some years back I wrote about the proliferation of boxed sets, deluxe editions and otherwise superfluous reissues of the same damn albums every five years (sometimes even more frequently - I’m looking at you Dark Side of the Moon). “If record labels really want to part music fans from their hard-earned dollars, they've got to offer us something new in return,” I said, a sentiment I standby today.

BG: I'm going to go in a different direction. inom don't think it's the best record of ours, but the first one [Something About Airplanes
