My dreams last night involved talking to Oprah about the importance of correct bra sizing and dancing as a solo Supreme in a Karl Lagerfeld warehouse fashion show. I blame these images.

“Television is escaping the TV set and the cable box. We no longer watch the tube. We watch, to borrow ex-Senator Ted Stevens’s memorable conceit, a series of tubes.” Nick Carr

When music is data, what is the box set?

As younger listeners increasingly acquire their music by downloading individual songs, the concept of the album has withered. So record companies are appealing to older buyers, with more money to spend and longer attention spans, by offering something special.

More profoundly, digitalization has changed recorded music from being a “thing” to a collection of data. The container is irrelevant, said Evan Eisenberg, author of “The Recording Angel,” a study of the cultural impact of recorded music.

Yet the impulse to have and to hold an object, as well as to collect it, remains. A box set “preserves something,” Mr. Eisenberg said. “It preserves a time that we want to remember, that we want to remain in. It suggests permanence and solidity and a bunker against the passage of time, and transience and decay.”
