I still rank IPOL as my least favorite of the studio releases.
Although, I hardly ever listen to Desperate Straights, I should more often so I can assess it. The problem is I consider it more of a Slapp Happy album, who had Henry Cow as their backing band.

I think I will hear this entire boxset all the way through, and then right afterward feel the urge to do the same thing.

Trust me, too much of a good thing isn't always the best idea.
I love The March but I don't want to hear yet another live version so soon after hearing the last.

So far I really want to hear Trondheim again. Stockholm & Goteborg is also worthy of repeated listens. The others not so much at the moment. Except the Matching Mole/Wyatt covers.  The DVD tracklisting is orgasmic though. I hope the music lives up to it.

My joke would have been "how many Ottawa songs can I hear?"

I haven't heard it yet.  But from everything I've read, that seems to be a general consensus.

Oh, that too. That has vocals though, so it's not quite so annoying.

Hamburg was almost too similar to Concerts for me, I guess that Cutler wanted to provide the Hamburg piece, but overall I'm not sure how much that disc brought to the table. I mean it was still great, but nothing really new.

We Did It Again. That was new and epic.  I can never get enough of Little Red Riding Hood Hits the Road either. But yes, it is similar to Concerts.

I love Hamburg. You're being too critical.

Well, that was an enormous pwn.
I'm mentally drained after that.

I'm mentally stimulated.  For music anyway. I don't feel like doing homework.
