Every Monday and Thursday for seven weeks, there was a new Thunderegg History Lesson: a song from the vault accompanied by a story. (For optimal results, listen and read simultaneously.) There are now fourteen, representing a song from each Thunderegg album, and thus completes Thunderegg History Unit #1. See the complete list after the jump, and stay tuned for what happens next.

I wish I were still a teacher–I would assign these little historical vignettes instead of crap like WWII and women’s suffrage. Keep up the good work, buffalo soldier.
Awesome. I can read the Thunderegg while I listen to the Thunderegg. But I also want to drink some beer. The right beer. Any idea what you were drinking when you recorded these songs?
Teardrops and Rumple-hoos.
