What if they come on a completely separate disc or set of discs? So the album-proper can still be isolated? I think bonus tracks can give great context to an album's process, and sometimes they're awesome tracks of their own (especially if they're singles that haven't been issued on a full-length collection), but…

That is FALSE — the deluxe edition is the ONLY edition to listen to, 'cause it has the whole album as MJ's original demos, which are always, in each case, better than what resulted when they overproduced it in the modern era.

I remember reading somewhere that, in the 1980s especially, he would eagerly give a dubbed cassette of his latest material to just about anyone he met if they were artists themselves, or cool. He assumed that there was a code of privacy, which I'm sure many kept. Many others, however, did not. Thus, he eventually…

Projects that should be very nearly ready to go:

It's shocking to me that, considering all of the people he had on his payroll doing crazy stuff, that there's not an organized digital database of everything in the vault, ready to go.

It's frustrating that he's never exactly lost his voice, more like he's lost, at various points, the right approach. Wilburys records were good 'cause he was trying to match the other…

yeah, that sounds right. From 1981 to 1996, there was a lot of that "pinched wheeze" sound, and I think a lot of drinking.

He's also a Rob Zombieist.

I really, really liked Shadows when it came out, but it hasn't endured as a favorite album for me. Not incredibly excited about more of same, but the four tracks I've heard so far are good and have their own personality separate from Shadows.

She says hey, by the way.

Congratulations dude! You don't get it!

I forgot the scene with young-ish Hector and the twins as kids: "La familia es todo." Good stuff.

Maybe it'll be a very simple blackmail:

Somewhere, a nerd has been assembling a chronological cut of every bit of BCS and Breaking Bad. All the cold open callbacks (and call forwards), and all the non-linear aspects of the presentation, rearranged in some semblance of a corrected timeline.

"So you're an antique, what's that all about? Say hi to your mother for me, okay?"

It's 15 years old, grandpa. I don't care though — I love him.

I had a "Welcome to Burger King. Hold on. [long pause] Welcome to Burger King. Baby, whatchu need?"

"Jann Wenner … shit on guys…"
