We hate to be reminded of it... but sometimes we have to talk about it.

Episode 2 sees the Fink chaps consider that most powerful of artist tools... the ability to say NO to things.

Which classic 2010s album are Fink themselves going to offer another bite of the cherry to? And what exactly is a reissue anyway? Find out here.
