First comment bitch tits!

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

this sounds like one of the tracks off the new nada surf with some added electro keyboard riffs

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.

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. :)
