Grandaddy

Daycare Nation · 05.17.2006, 07:26 PM

So, I went to see Lytle and Burtch give a free show on the day that "Fambly Cat" came out...I had only heard a couple of Grandaddy tracks before and wasn't impressed. It sounded like fluffy pop. But it was free, and the band had broken up so I decided to go.

The friend I was with was a big fan. We sat on the stage next to them, it was really fun. I was impressed with the music, so I decided I'd buy some on payday...I picked up Sumday (used) and Fambly Cat today, and I'm really, really enjoying this...and looking forward to hearing more since apparently I haven't heard their best yet.

I don't mind them. They're the typical indie rock group, but there's something I like about them over most indie.

fuck the valey fudge

I would recommend Under the Western Freeway.

For some reason Go Progress Chrome is one of my favoritest songs ever.

it's a good one alright-so good they should have made it longer!

3: Jed the humanoid

Last night something pretty bad happened
We lost a friend, all shocked and broken
Shut down exploded

Jeddy 3 is what we first called him
Then it was Jed
But Jed's system's dead
Therefore so's Jed

We assembled him in the kitchen
Made out of this and
Made out of that and
Whatever was at hand

When we finished Jed
We were so proud
We celebrated
We congratulated
At what we'd created

Jed could run or walk sing or talk and
Compile thoughts and
Solve lots of problems
We learned so much from him

A couple years went by and something happened
We gave Jed less attention
We had new inventions
We left for a convention

Jed had found our booze and drank every drop
He fizzled and popped
He rattled and knocked
And finally he just stopped

^that song always makes me so sad

The line "I try to sing it funny like beck, but it's bringing me down" is one of my favourite lyrics

AM 180 has one of the best keyboard lines ever FACT

AM 180 is great, it sounds like nintendo and the guitar line sounds like its from my bloody valentine

Yeah it's pretty cool. I actually got into them through that song on the 28 days later soundtrack.

i really like "the sophtware slump" and "sumday"... it's the only two albums i have from them; what i've heard from the other albums actually did not really convince me, but i should try again...

lytle's voice is lovely.
