weezer / modest mouse

This reissuing crap from both Weezer and Modest Mouse has got to stop. I'm sorry but it seems like a real slap in the face to the fans that already own and happened to have kept your albums. Why do I want to re-buy the first Weezer album for b-sides that I scrounged the web for years ago?

Modest Mouse is just as guilty (though I am sure it's just the arm of Epic Records at work), new artwork and four live b-sides? Isn't this just a dupe to get people who have heard "Float On" to accidentally buy the wrong album?

I say put out a b-sides disc if you want to release b-sides, but stop this reissuing crap.
