Speaking of things that just have to be said…
There’s something wrong with the world when you can download an entire season of That’s So Fucking Raven from the iTunes Music Store, yet there is not a single song by Drive Like Jehu available.

Drive Like Jehu and Yank Crime were two of the most important rock albums of the entire 1990s. They should not be forgotten, and whether it’s an oversight, or a creative/money dispute, there is a kid somewhere, faithfully paying up while trying to expand his/her iPod’s musical horizons. That kid won’t know that s/he’s missing something major, because it’s not there for the downloading.
Oh well, at least you can still find the hard copies at Insound and Amazon.
(And while we’re lecturing like a wheezingly boring, crusty old punk, why the hell is Slint’s Tweez on iTMS, and not Spiderland or the Slint EP? Just asking…).
