    First comment bitch tits!

    Love this band, but I think it’s because I was to young to appreciate the Alan Parsons Project.

    So far, I’m liking “Pull the Curtains”. Very much more like “Western Freeway” than anything they’ve done in a while. It’s not great, but is already a hell of a lot more promising than the whole of “Sumday”.

    They should have the Bush mashup song on the Daily Show website on comedycentral.com.

    Oooo I am really liking “Pull the Curtains” too. Thank you for posting!

    And yeah, when Grandaddy gets sad their music can really be depressing. :(

    STEREOGUM, you looks like you got a case of the hacked. unless that “i liked you better before you sold out” is a message to yours truly. in which case, i agree 100% and commend you for having the courage to say it.

    i really like grandaddy, [& stereogum] but i have to admit that the tracks on myspace are better. and i actually liked ‘sumday’ ..

    ahh, grandaddy. not liking this one so much, though… haven’t checked the myspace tracks yet.

    off-topic, hey gum gum, i know it’s been ages but whatever happened to your britney obsession?

    just wondering, by the way, i like your corny indie self just as much. :)
