New Grandaddy

Let’s run away from this week.

After four days that have felt like way more than five, this week has grown tired of whaling on you whenever it sees you. Be sure to run off while it’s distracted. RUN. RUN FOR THE WARM EMBRACE OF THE WEEKEND! ETC.!

Okay, music: Grandaddy’s Sophtware Slump has a very special place in my heart. It means so much to me that it is detrimental to my enjoyment of anything else by the band, because I am constantly comparing everything else to Slump and finding it wanting. But I need to get over it. There will never be another Sophtware Slump, and that’s okay, because The Sophtware Slump we will always have with us. There is plenty of space for other Grandaddy. Which is good, because they’ve just released two new tunes.

Here’s “Way We Won’t.”

Here’s “Clear Your History,” which is a great title for a song.

Enjoy. And savor every second of this weekend. The weeks don’t get any easier from here on out for a long, long time.
