Too commercial? WTF were we thinking?

The good news: the box sets are in.
The better news: we’re still not famous.
Tall Shadows returns, 33⅓ years later.
Unapologetically unlabeled since 1993, and now unearthed, unmasked, and unveiled across three unbelievably vibey discs.

Seems bad: “the deans said that donors are withholding pledges, fundraisers suspended a multi-year campaign and new hires are rethinking their commitment to the University.”
Letter from 12 deans to Board of Visitors goes unanswered for almost two weeks
At the time of publication, the academic deans had received no response from the Board regarding their offer to meet with the Board “as soon as possible.”
