“Granadaddy”:http://www.grandaddylandscape.com/ “broke up”:http://www.nme.com/news/grandaddy/22068. đ I started listening to them a few years ago off a mix CD a friend made me and while I’m far from a zealous fan, I realllllly like em. Their music is fun. And pretty. And comforting. Of course, those adjectives don’t tell you much at all besides that it’s not…heavy metal, unless you think heavy metal is fun, pretty, and comforting. Maybe you do. [shrugs]
At least solo artists can’t break up. BUT THEY CAN DIE! …I’m going to try not to think about that.

Thanks for visiting! I wish I had seen them live, but I remember them coming once…and me staying home. That was unsmart. I probably didn’t do anything exciting that day.

yeah, i hate it when good bands breakup. it’s hard to say if it’s worse for them to break up or suddenly start to suck. at least if they break up, you never end up hating them…. glass half full. (plus, they aren’t dead. yet.)
peace

I guess killing a band preserves its greatness. But still! (sniff)
