I’ve always loved this record. Egghunt was a too short-lived project by Ian MacKaye and Jeff Nelson, both from Minor Threat. “Me and You” has an excellent groove and a really big sound. The vocals/spoken words are intentionally on the verge of being completely inaudible. The flipside, “We All Fall Down” is very different but just as good. It’s rocked out in a melodic hardcore way. This really is an excellent record. Too bad there weren’t more.
Etched in the run off margins:
Side 1 – TOMAS IS INCENSED
Side 2 – LE CTEL TOMBE
You can get the full scoop on Egghunt at Wikipedia.
So the question is this: When are you going to start posting little 30 second clips of these reviews so that we can experience it at the next level. Some of your descriptions leave me wanting for more…for example I’ve always liked the Minor Threat/Fugazi/Ian M. sound but I wasn’t even aware of this Egg Hunt. And now, where in the world would I possibly find such a 20 year old recording.
With my wish stated, and assuming there wouldn’t be copyright infringment problems, when are you gonna make this happen?
Dude, it takes everything I have just to get the pics up…
