Reunions

[Gilly]

Do you guys consider a band coming back to play a few shows a reunion? I saw that the Feelies were "reuniting" and I thought, "Sweet, a new Feelies album!" but then saw that they're just playing a couple shows nowhere near me. Is that really reuniting? I guess it's cool that some people get to see The Feelies and Big Dipper again but it just doesn't really strike me as a reunion. I suppose by definition it is, but when I think reunion, I think the bands back together to give it another go.

If the band is broken up and gets back together, even if it's just for shows, I'd call that a reunion.

I think of a reunion show as a one-shot (or few-shot) deal.  But if I hear a band is reuniting, I think they are getting back together indefinitely.

That's probably the right way to think about it Sarah. I just have been disappointed when I read a teaser that some band I love is reuniting and then find out it's just a reunion show, usually across the pond or at least out east. Midwesterners don't get any love!

any updates on possible cd reissues?
