Yeah my daughter is going to love Willow Wand. Kinda like the Catholics sounding like the Catholics. Jason Lytle sounding like Jason Lytle. It's a good thing. |

i'm liking the new album. somebody's someone is a little too sad for my tastes, but the rest is real nice. willow wand is great.

i just read that interview where lytle says he's seriously considering making a new grandaddy album and making it sound like grandaddy. he seems to be pretty inspired by the idea, so here's hoping.

i like Yours Truly a lot but for me nothing on that is in the same league as prime Grandaddy. looking forward to Dept of Disappearance. track I heard so sounds good |
| Jose Jones |
Posted - 09/25/2012 : 01:55:11
did we ever discuss "yours truly, the commuter?"
that second half is... i don't really have words for it. the most beautiful movement of music he's written, i suppose.
can't wait for the new one. and if they actually make a new grandaddy record... well, fuck my face.

got my copy special japanese 2-disc Fambly Cat edition and, guess what, all the extra songs are fucking Radiohead songs. yep, Radiohead songs. not Grandaddy.
nowhere on the cd does it say anything about Radiohead. i wish i knew their song titles and i might have known. i've been hoodwinked.
i'm so depressed. i've been waiting for 15 days to receive this cd.
jap heads are going to roll
I saw that one on ebay, and I immediately saw the hoax, but I was too late to warn you. I failed you floop. It's a pretty ugly bootleg I think, no way it's official

If they ever reform, they could call themselves Grandson, but that would be a crap idea.

yeah, Nature Anthem was in a Honda commercial too.
as for the show "account".. i don't know what to say except what a treat it was. it's like Jose put it, it's almost like this is the way these songs were meant to be heard. i loved their full set the two times i got to see it, and it's nice to get the fat bass and big sound. but there's something even better about seeing him in such an intimate enviornment like this. kind of like being able to sit around with him while he's in his home studio or something..
i've been listening to his music a LOT lately. i'm just so fascinated that this guy with no musical training living in the middle of fucking nowhere creates such sophisticated, beautiful music. and he's one of the few songwriters out there who i would say his lyrics are genuine poetry.
like i said, after the show my girlfriend and i were getting our car out of the parking structure. on the way out of the club we could peer into the backstage cool people area and assumed he was back there with a bunch of LA groupies. and then we look way in the corner of the parking lot and he's there with his friend drinking a beer. it was almost like they were hiding. when we went up he seemed really sweet and shy and genuinely complimented that we liked the show. totally humble. he was saying he hoped it worked (the solo set up) almost looking for our approval or something. all i could do was beg him to come back soon. i almost didn't have the guts to go talk to him but my girlfriend insisted and started talking to him, saying 'my boyfriend loves your music, you're his favorite band, we play your music all the time' etc.. they asked us if we were from LA and made some small talk. i almolst got the impression that they didn't have anything to do and would have come hang out with us if we asked. during the show he talked about how he had been checking out all the skate parks around and afterwards, i thought of how cool it would have been to go skate with him (in a fantasy world).
anyway, here's what i remember of the setlist (not in order):
under the western freeway:
everything beautiful is far away
software slump:
hewlett's daughter
jed's other poem
sumday:
go in the go for it
saddest vacent lot in all the world
the diary of todd zilla:
valley son
fambly cat:
jeeze louise
elevate myself
summer it's gone
rarities/bsides:
ghost of 1672
protected from the rain
why would i want to die?
my small love
i know there way more bsides but i can't remember them all at the moment. and he played 2 songs i've never heard which i'm guessing had to be new material (though there are still some floating out there i don't have)
anyway, he seemed in really good spirits and happy about playing music, so i'm just happy that we can look forward to more to come... i can't wait.
