Tom talking about records he has to have for reasons that are absurd, like long songs, complete recordings of, etc.
I have that itch slightly but I have it more with going to see long movies in the theater. Dekalog and the Bonderchuk War & Peace gave me pancake ass, and yet I'd go see something like those again ... something about them being really crazy to screen makes me go watch them ... kind of the film equivalent of a limited edition record.
Also Mike cackling at "this one's for the eggheads!"
