This is not an internet hoaxSo last week, I talked a bit, indirectly, about the reissue boom fueled by the music industry's desire to sell you the same damn album over and over again. I'm not here to belabor the point, but come on, this is a two disc deluxe edition of a seven-year old, widely available album that has precisely one thing to commend it: the formerly ubiquitous Summer of '00 mopedown "Kryptonite". Which you can purchase for 99 cents from iTunes, or, better yet, illegally download for free. Which, come to think of it, you can do with every song on the original issue of The Better Life. Which, come to think of it, is what's killing the music industry, which, with reissues like this, is demonstrating why it deserves to die. Kind of like an Escher drawing.
On the bright side, that 14-disc, 3 DVD Nickelback boxed set complete with Chad Kroeger Nativity Set carved from depleted uranium should be exclusively hitting Best Buy any day now.
