<p><span class="cap">M</span>y friends are probably about sick of me talking about this band. But I recently discovered &#8216;Grandaddy&#8217;, a great band with a not so great name that broke up about two years ago. They put out five albums during their fifteen years together, and four of them are solid, in my opinion. They had a song in a car commercial, &#8216;AM 180&#8242;, which I vaguely recognized (it turns out it was used in the movie &#8216;28 Days Later&#8217; and that&#8217;s where I had heard it) and so I did some investigative work and discovered the band that recorded it &#8211; and I can&#8217;t stop listening to them. They have a few songs that say things that I can really identify with, and lead singer <a title="Jason Lytle" href="http://www.myspace.com/jasonlytle" target="_blank">Jason Lytle</a> says them better than I think I ever could. As a musician, it sort of makes me want to put up my guitar because what I have been trying to accomplish has already been accomplished by someone else. But when I think about it, I&#8217;m actually inspired more. I&#8217;ve got a song below for you to listen to if you want to check them out. <a title="Jason Lytle" href="http://www.myspace.com/jasonlytle" target="_blank">Jason Lytle</a>, the lead singer and primary songwriter of the band, is working on a solo album that should be out before too long, called &#8216;Sew Low Owl Bum&#8217;. Clever.</p>

<p>And just in case you&#8217;re thinking &#8216;This is a graphic designer&#8217;s blog, why&#8217;s he talking about music?!&#8217; I find all creative outlets inspiring and music as well as graphic design are two of mine. They&#8217;re intermingled in a way. The same goes for movies. My taste in both music and movies follows a much more personal route than a popular one. Ideas and inspiration from one area affects the others.</p>
