Ha!...All somebody had to do was ask. New grandaddy Lp recorded and is getting mixed very soon. I don't see why it can't be released in the middle of this year. Live shows...hmmm...no idea

@jasonlytle Hi Jason. I do love your music very much. It has gotten me through so many times. And I appreciate you being active on Twitter. May I ask, what are your plans for new @Grandaddy and/or Jason Lytle music? Do you foresee live performances? Thank you.

Had a thought. My dad had an insatiable hunger for new music & was always chomping to share bands he was excited by. Grandaddy and Arcade Fire come to mind. He hasn't been around for nearly 7 years now. What bands from these past 7 years do you think he would have loved?

I love Fambly Cat even more now because it got such a lackluster response upon releasing it and I found myself almost apologetically having to explain it to journalists who were more interested in discussing past releases.

@theHenryDemos @jasonlytle I'm not sure how Jason feels about Fambly Cat in general, as it seems to be the forgotten album. However I reckon Where I'm Anymore is right up there with his greats.

@jasonlytle Maybe it was my continuous head full of ecstasy at the time but the fact that the Software Slump didn’t take off like Ok Computer made me realize that everything Grandaddy did after that would be a struggle, living in the shadow of obscurity and you’d be damn lucky to get more.
