Sigur Ros Tix / Billy Bragg Reissue Deets

Couple quick things this morning...

Pre-sale tickets for the North American dates of the upcoming Sigur R�s tour are now officially on sale, so get on over to their site pronto. Just picked up two for their show at the Boston Opera House on September 15th, and I'm not sure I could be more excited.

Yep Roc Records was kind enough to provide me with details on this fall's Billy Bragg reissue discs, and the box set that pulls 'em all together. Here's the skinny:

Four double-disc reissues, three of which have two cds of music. The fourth will have one cd and one dvd. The box set will contain all eight of those discs along with another bonus dvd, for a total of nine discs.

As of June 20th, here's what they have for tracklistings (subject to updates), with the previously unreleased material in italics:
