It's a sad, sad situation, but Grandaddy's demise is upon us. The band's final album, Just Like The Fambly Cat, is in stores (listen here).
To mark the loss of our favorite space rockers' split, Stereogum and V2 wanted to give one of you something special. Turns out Mr. Lytle is doing some spring cleaning, thus a contest is born:
GRAND PRIZE
RUNNER-UP PRIZE
RE: the grand prize, Jason took the book from his own library and wrote things in it (why he bought the book, what he thought, etc...). The CD artwork he drew is unique -- no two are alike.
CONTEST IS CLOSED.
There's a fun blurb about the band's swan song in The Sun:
THE SUN: There's a neat irony in calling your final song "This Is How It Always Starts." Why did that seem the best way to say goodbye?
JASON LYTLE: Considering Rob Thomas from Matchbox 20 or that guy from Creed probably would have called the last song "Goodbye" means I did the right thing.
So stop comparing Jason to Scott Stapp everyone, OK? Finally, Jason's doing some acoustic in-store goodbyes.
