So most excellent. "Papa Was a Rodeo" and "With Whom to Dance" and everything on i is terrific. Okay, some of it more and less so. But some of it very so.

"Infinitely Late At Night": "Stephin's funniest song!" "(Also his saddest!)"

And "Yeah! Oh Yeah!" staged with Stephin offstage and leaning on at the yeahs...

(But why "The One You Really Love"? Not to end on a sour note (the end was in fact "All My Little Words" which was excellent.) But why?)

Okay, I lied about not replying to any old lj comments, because I totally should have replied to this months ago. I think you should get Get Lost. There are good songs on all the albums, but Get Lost has imo a) the highest concentration of good songs b) fewer duds c) some of the very best. Tracks 2/3/4 is maybe the most concentrated favorite music I own, if that makes any sense. ::grin:: I also (ahem) may be putting together a best-track-from-each-album sampler as part of a mix for somebody who is hopefully not reading this ::grin::, so I could try to remember to send you a copy, but, of course, the best song from each album is not going to be especially representative ::grin::.
