Random Album of the Day

Today’s Random Album of the Day is the Hot and Informed EP from Q and Not U. Yes, we’ve encountered them before on the Random Album of the Day. This is, in fact, our first repeat artist! They were I think our third artist ever on the Random Album of the Day.

Anyhow, Q and Not U is a post hardcore band from DC. They first formed in 1998 and they are really quite good. This is just a 3 song EP but it does provide a good glimpse into their music.

Rating: 9.6

Favorite Track(s): “And the Washington Monument Blinks Goodnight” is a solid tune and a great song title. The beeping should be annoying but I enjoy it. That’s a good song but “Bus Lights Busy Carpet” is a great song! “Kiss Distinctly American” is the last song and it’s slower paced but good.

Keep or Trash: Keep.

Random Album of the Day

Today’s Random Album of the Day is a 7″ single from Egg Hunt. This band features Ian Mckaye (Minor Threat, Fugazi, etc…) and Jeff Nelson (Minor Threat and many other bands). And it’s a very solid single as you might expect. My wife also liked it a lot.

Rating: 9.5

Favorite Track(s): “Me and You” is primarily instrumental and as my wife says features a great baseline. “We All Fall Down” is very Fugazi-esque.

Keep or Trash: Keep. duh.

Random Album of the Day

Today’s Random Album of the Day is Novelty from Jawbox. I honestly never listen to this but there is no particular reason. This album is considered post-hardcore or alternative rock.

This is solid music. Some nifty guitar riffs in this. Occasionally hard hitting, sometimes inventive instrumentation, and overall good music. Not every song was great, but I liked it overall.

Rating: 8.8

Favorite Track(s): Cutoff, Static

Keep or Trash: Keep. Definitely worth keeping.
