I own a lot of box sets — a lot — but an 80-disc Grateful Dead box? No thanks.

If you’ve read even a couple of pieces of mine either here or elsewhere on the intergooglewebtubes, you know that I love bands going all the way back to my earliest memories, so I’m as guilty as anybody.

So is nostalgia a weed choking the life out of new music? Read all about it on Diffuser.
