There's a reissue of Give Up coming out this year? Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamberello are really opening up my wallet this year.
Why the hell would anyone who already owns a copy of Give Up feel the need to buy a reissue? It's not like there have been dramatic leaps forward in remastering since 2003, and it's not like anyone who would seriously pay for a second copy doesn't already have, like, a flash drive with all of the b-sides and covers and shit on it.
"Lo-fi" is such a weird and broad term,it's silly to argue about what does and doesn't qualify. To clarify: I'm excited to hear guitars, distortion, screeching Karen O rather than bleep bloop dancey glam stuff.

Yeah, that wasn't an argument. You'll know when you're involved in an argument.
I've liked all four versions of YYYs, (Fever To Tell, Show Your Bones, Is Is EP, It's Blitz!), and Fever To Tell is one of my favorite albums of the last ten years, but I think the sound and production on the Is Is EP is the most exciting and pregnant with possibilities. You can't remake the energy of Fever To Tell, and I hope they don't try.

I wish TV on the Radio would go back to doing crunchy shit like Cookie Mountain. Their last two records, like, if I could touch the sounds coming out of them I feel like it would make my fingers all greasy.

Agreed! Return to Cookie Mountain is the only TV on the Radio album I ever throw on, I always try to switch it up but then I'm like, wait I just want to hear "I Was A Lover".

Exactly. I was able to pretend that I liked Dear Science more than I actually do until Nine Types of Light came out, and then I was all like, Oh, I guess this is what we're doing now. Oh, well.
