This Week
(February 2007)

In 2005, Will posted a new song every Monday to this site. Now the best of those 52 tracks have been selected, mastered, and sequenced for maximum listening enjoyment and efficiency. Recorded entirely to a Tascam 424 cassette portastudio, this is Thunderegg's crowning four-track achievement and surely one of the medium's classic albums. Includes great songs like "Even as You Walk Away," "Skeletons," "To See Things Begin," and "Say We Did," a duet with Mascott's Kendall Meade. Printed in a limited first-run quantity of 100 homemade copies. $10 including postage; 15 tracks total; 57:55. Only 51 copies left.

Plus you get the previously unreleased Sweetest One (2004), eighteen bonus tracks, album notes, and a beautiful 108-page illustrated lyric book. Signed and numbered in a self-produced limited edition. Contains all of the albums below except A Very Fine Sample.

A Very Fine Sample of What's Available at the Mine
(March 2005)
TRACK LISTING + LYRICS

The long-awaited full-band debut from Thunderegg features ten favorites recorded between 2001 and 2004 by Nathan Gohla in and around Hartford, Connecticut. In addition to Will on guitar and vocals, Jake on bass, and Keith on drums, A Very Fine Sample also features guest appearances by Jonathan Chatfield (keyboards), Tom Colligan (guitar), Tim Kane (trumpet), and Nate himself (guitar). Accessible, smart, and 100 percent do-it-yourself, this is the kind of straightforward, head-nodding rock album people don't really make anymore. $8 including postage; 10 tracks; 40:44.

Sweetest One: The Three-track Demos
(November 2004)
TRACK LISTING + LYRICS
(Not available for individual sale)

This is the great lost album that further accounts for Thunderegg's whereabouts from 2001 to 2004. By the time it was recorded, the old reliable Porta07 four-track was pretty much worn out. Crackly connections, buzzing, lots of hiss. Plus, we used only three of the machine's four available tracks, so everything got squished. Despite all this, Sweetest One contains some of the best Thunderegg songs ever. You can get it in its entirety on the mp3 anthology Open Book. 12 tracks; 48:36. Commercially available only as part of Open Book.

The Envelope Pushes Back
(October 2000)
TRACK LISTING + LYRICS

With upwards of 150 homemade copies in circulation, this comeback album brought Thunderegg its first taste of critical and even international respect. Quite possibly the most encouraging sign is that everyone seems to have a different favorite song: Chris likes "Pardon Your French," Alicia likes "If I Went on a Diet," Tyler likes "Tomorrow I'll Change," Ken likes "In the Loft," and Aristides likes "The Second Coffer" while Patty likes "(Do) The Curfew." In addition, the rare B-side to "Diet," "What About (The Children)," is appended here, along with retooled versions of "What Was I Gonna Do?" and "Planetarium." $8 including postage; 16 tracks; 58:08. Only 14 copies left.

In Yanistin (September 2000)
TRACK LISTING + LYRICS
An obsessive, conceptual Powder to the People, this second fragment album hones the medium’s style to a jagged point on numbers that would eventually become "The Envelope Pushes Back," "Your Pretty Little Angels," "The Scheduled Show," and "(I Was a) Long Way from Home"—interspersed with a bunch of promising melodies, some underrated minisongs ("Burnin’, Burnin’," "Thanks for the Great Performance [In My Dreams]," "In Yanistin," "Glockenspiel Song"), and a dictaphone’s chronicle of some shit seriously gone wrong. $8 including postage; 43 tracks; 66:49. Only 23 copies left.
Powder to the People (August 1998) TRACK LISTING + LYRICS
A crooked baker’s three-dozen tunes recorded over a two-week period in the summer of 1998, this music was originally intended for internal use only—it’s a bunch of fragments and songs in progress. This album has its detractors, but you'll find early sketches of some classic Egg here ("In the Loft," "Keep It with You," "This Is What I Saw," "Tomorrow I’ll Change"), and since the songs are so short, it's good for car trips and moody days when you don’t know what you feel like listening to. $5 including postage; 35 tracks; 47:33. Only 9 copies left.
Thunderegg (November 1997) TRACK LISTING + LYRICS
Quite possibly Thunderegg’s finest hour (actually, 73:29), this fourth, eponymous CD boasts many of the band’s most enduring singles, among them "You Showed Them to Me," "Christina Stopped Playing Her Violin," "Rutting Season," "There Should Be Wheels on Everything," "I Died Today (For Just a Minute)," "The Mighty Battlecat," and "The American Standard Is Slipping (And It’s All Your Fault)." If you’re just getting acquainted with the Egg, this is a great place to start. $8 including postage; 24 tracks; 73:29. Only 16 copies left.
Personnel Envelo-File (February 1997) TRACK LISTING + LYRICS
This fan favorite is the ideal nexus between the early albums’ batty enthusiasm and the later releases’ more straightforward songwriting. Bulls-eyes here include "Cop on a Horse," "Double Reverse," "Will Bite," "The Building of the Bed," and the one-two punch of "They’re All Rats" and "My Mad Hatter," which marks the addition of bass guitar to the mix. $8 including postage; 27 tracks; 73:44. Only 30 copies left.
New England Music (May 1996) TRACK LISTING + LYRICS
Recorded during the record-snowfall winter of 1995-96 and featuring (relatively) embellished instrumentation and an overall looser feel than the other recordings, this follow-up effort has sometimes been seen as the Egg's most prolonged exercise in slack. But underneath that looseness lies a vein of pretty songs, including "Supergirlfriend," "Around Mountain," and "Penned In." The imminent calling-card beats of the Dr. Rhythm drum machine make their debut here as well. $8 including postage; 27 tracks; 70:48. Only 22 copies left.
Universal Nut (November 1995) TRACK LISTING + LYRICS
SORRY! OUT OF PRINT!
The scruffy debut, originally released as an uncredited 90-minute cassette in the fall of 1995. Contains such Larry-era classics as "Christy Pickle," "Ephemeral," and "Just Another Joe" alongside sleepers like "Always Forget You," "Truce," "The Boat on Home to You," and the hard-hitting opener, "Pillowcase." 27 tracks; 71:59. We have no copies left, but it's included in Open Book.
