Probably because the only market for rereleases (hell, for physical media at all) are superfans and hipsters looking for the musical equivalent of coffee-table books, who want the largest, most indulgent and bloated nonsense imaginable. The killer is all on Spotify for the casuals to listen to already. 

You are always free to make whatever cut of an album you like for your personal use, but otherwise unless the artist in question is on board this isn’t going to happen. And no who likes the double album in question would be happy with the results anyway. Don't be eliminating "Revolution 9" from the White Album for…

As good a place as any: I’ve started noticing articles floating from section to section of your front page over multiple days:

Interesting. Clearly you’ve thought abou this: what are your prime candidates for such treatment?

It’s always a positive reception upon re-inspection for albums that were derided at the time of release. Does every album need a six-CD expansion replete with the dross they originally left on the cutting room floor? Why isn’t the opposite ever the case? Why don’t we revisit some bloated double album and reissue it as…

It’s such a baby/bathwater dismissal of Spector, and readers unfamiliar with his work would simply assume the guy’s a hack nutjob. A more careful writer would have gone with “Phil Spector and his insufferable 1970s overproduction” or “Phil Spector and his insufferable studio antics.” Dissing some of the greatest…

Like all solo Beatles albums, I bought Mind Games when it first came out. I liked it. It was a return to Lennon’s Beatles-like style of lyrics and music featuring a band of great musicians compared to Elephants Memory used on the previous album, Sometime in NYC. The songs seemed polished and refined in comparison. I…

Cool. It’s a good record, but one you have to approach it with an open mind. Solo Beatles is often about digging for gold, and there’s only a handful of albums that are considered true classics. Look past those though, and you’ll find quite a few admittedly flawed albums that still have a lot of worthwhile stuff. Mind…

HBO gives the show a budget. As long as they deliver shows within that budget, HBO isn’t going to care what the money is being spent on. Also, delaying the Youtube posting of stories means WBD sees enough value in the show that they think people will sign up for HBO and/or Max just to see it sooner, so that’s actually…

Stewart didn’t need to call Andrew Sullivan a racist, Andrew Sullivan answered the questions Stewart asked and came across as the out-of-touch accidental racist middle-aged white man that he is. Not being personally racist is all well and good, but you also can’t deny institutional racism, and the residual effects of i…

It scares me though, because I can’t see them funding their schemes forever. The RV and Red Lobster stuff made up only a few minutes of content and cost at least $2 million.

I like how you called it blood libel and then excuse other people who did the same things. Because you are a hypocritical piece of shit.

Why the fuck are you here again other than to be a stalker and hate on everything?

I like the episode called “The Problem with White People” in which he found mere statistical differences to be proof of racism (they are not proof of racism), had women on the show whom you pay to harangue you about your racism over dinner, called colorblindness racist, and had a conniption fit when Andrew Sullivan…

I live a comfortable middle-class life working for a corporation. It’s anything but miserable. I recommend it.

To be fair, the main problem was that the show wasn’t very good. 

Well, mega-corporations. Almost all corporations are small businesses. The advantage of single owner/operators incorporating is that it gives them limited liability so if the business goes tits up they don’t lose everything.  That’s hardly evil.

Lasseter was apparently a credit hog, and was able for years to remain at his place because he was supposedly irreplaceable.

Toy Story 5 is coming out 30 years after the first Toy Story. Is there even anyone involved from the original movie?

I can’t even tell what you’re asking. What’s the “trendy turn of phrase” in that snippet? They’re talking about how it’s nearly non-stop action, and the only moment where you can use the restroom is that single slower scene.

NOTHING IS EVER GOING TO BE AS PATHETIC AS YOU LYING ABOUT WHO YOU ARE TO AVOID THE SHIT YOU SAID.I KNOW YOU KNOW YOU ARE A LOSER. THE FACT YOU HAD TO CHANGE ACCOUNTS AND LIE ABOUT WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU PREVIOUSLY SAID REALLY DRIVES THAT HOME.
