Old School

Okay, so I’m officially getting old. I went to Best Buy the other day because I wanted to pick up two CDs that I used to own but can’t seem to find anywhere, Dr. Dre’s The Chronic and Snoop Doggy Dogg’s Doggystyle. I found both albums quite easily but was dismayed as I stood in line and noticed that both albums said “Digitally Remastered” on them.

Digitally Remastered?!!! What’s this all about? It’s not like I was picking up An Evening With Glenn Miller or something from the 30’s. This is Dr. Freaking Dre and The Chronic. I was in high school when it came out for crying out loud! Was the recording technology of such poor quality back then in the dark ages that this remastering needed to happen?

Well this is all too much to handle as far as I’m concerned. When they put out the “Saved By The Bell” DVD that says “Painstakingly Restored To Its Original Color” you can reserve my spot at the old folks home.
