Grandaddy is dead

[Tomtomtom]

They will release their new album soon, but it's over.

Great band, beautiful songs.

Very sad.

[yeahwho]

I read about this yesterday and it is sad. One of the things that made my year last year (it doesn't take much) is when I heard their Nature Anthem (http://www.branchy.com/clips/grandaddy-nature_anthem.mov) song used in a Honda Civic Hybrid TV ad.

The songs of Grandaddy just had a way of creeping in and making me think, "Hey, there are some very cool people still out there writing songs", here's to hoping some of the current crop got the message.
