Goodbye? 5:41 Release Notes: When bands go a few years between albums, it's sometimes nice to know what they've been up to before that next LP comes out. And now we can thank dear ol' Grandaddy for squeezing out a little taste of what's to come with a new EP entitled Excerpts From the Diary of Todd Zilla. The name, we're told by V2 Records, comes from a name lead daddy Jason Lytle saw on the "vanity license plate of a grossly oversized, giant tire-style pick-up truck while vacationing in Lake Tahoe." Todd Zilla was recorded at Lytle's home studio in Ceres, Calif., on older equipment-- none of that "glitzy 24-track" business. Its eight tracks will not appear on the band's forthcoming fifth full-length. Eight tracks? That's a hell of an EP. Finally, we hear that "in a move that should permanently squelch the first question that European journalists always ask him, Jason has shaved off his trademark beard in a step that drew a collective yawn from his bandmates."
