The collection of digital copies of original recordings which themselves may have been made with digital equipment or possibly analog equipment but which either way now exist in a digital mastered form for ease of consumption in the current sales market will make its appearance on this particular date.

"Dropped" is pretty awful, because it just sounds so tired and stale now. It needs to go the way of phat and jiggy and, yeah, "tha bomb". Oh, and "dope" too. Kill that fucker dead, plz.

in canada it's three syllables.

where in canada? I've never heard anyone anywhere say "re-lee-said", it's more like "re-least" than anything.

oh sorry, I see you say you made a mistake upthread... just thought it was some weird prairie thing I didn't know about.

Yeah, I hate it too, and agree with sundry folks above -- it's almost as dumb a faux-hip cliche that people bizarrely don't realize is a cliche as "rawk." (Which might be the stupidest one ever, by the way.)
