Pitchfork: The Band

So Eucalyptus by Pitchfork (pre-Drive Like Jehu) arrived in my mailbox today. I've lusted after this record for a loooong time...at one point, it was sort of a holy grail to me.

It came out in 1990, but I didn't get heavily into the Touch & Go scene until '94, just as the whole indie/noise rock thang was hitting its peak, by which time THIS record was already long out of print.

I burned a copy off a friend in Denver back in....oh, probably 2002 or so, but it was stolen out of my car shortly thereafter.

I'd bid on this five or six times on ebay before I finally won a copy...and a steal at $4.99!

It's a very good record, no doubt. But I can't help but wish I had found a copy of this back in the mid-nineties...when I REALLY would've gone apeshit over it.

Right now, I'm far more interested in the Thin Lizzy record that also came today.
