Once again, a news story that sounds like it was written by Neal Stephenson. Modern Life is weird.

They spelled Pharma-Douche wrong.

You can head on over to Motherboard if you want to get a look at a gorgeous Wu-Tang collector’s item that you will never ever get to listen to.

All released material from the unreleased Wu Tang-Clan album "Once Upon A Time In Shaolin"

If it had just been a couple of years later, Pharmadouche could have bought an NFT of the album, leaving the music for the rest of us.

The boxes also look rough. The outer box has scratches in the leather. There’s a big divot to the upper left of the icon Wu-Tang symbol exposing the cedar box underneath.

Seems like either there is either a good story or some poor asset management practices.

I’d say a drunk obnoxious Shkreli, showing it off to potential sexual conquests before they run out the door.

The music itself was expected to be spectacular.

I would expect Wu-Tang not to even try, saving their genuinely worthwhile tracks for the public.
