SummersRadio™ Bonus Disc! Grandaddy!

SummersRadio™ Bonus Disc! Grandaddy - 'What Can't Be Erased'/ 'XD-Data-II' Last month when I first reported news of a 'Deluxe Edition' of Grandaddy's 'The Sophtware Slump' album I mentioned that I would post more details when they became available - today I have the full tracklisting for disc two! The 'Deluxe Edition' is being released to celebrate the 11th Anniversary of the release of the album - which is 'better than 10' in singer Jason Lytle's words. 

Disc 2:
1. He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's the Pilot
2. Our Dying Brains
3. L.F.O.
4. Wives Of Farmers
5. Chartsengrafs
6. N. Blender
7. Wonder Why In L.A.
8. Air Conditioners in the Woods
9. Moe Bandy Mountaineers
10. First Movement / Message Sent
11. XD-Data-II
12. Beautiful Ground
13. Street Bunny
14. She Deleter
15. What Can't Be Erased (Drinking Beer In The Bank Of America With Two Chicks From Tempe Arizona)
16. I Don't Want To Record Anymore
17. Aisle Seat 37-D
18. Hewlett's Daughter
19. Rode My Bike To My Stepsister's Wedding

I fully admit that I'm a pretty massive Grandaddy fan - but there are several tracks here that even I don't have! The 19 track disc consists largely of b-sides, but also demos and 'other lost bits and pieces created around that same time.' 'What Can't Be Erased' previously appeared on the 'Through A Frosty Plate Glass' EP which was released in 2001. It contained six tracks that first appeared as b-sides on their European singles - and it was also included as the bonus disc in some 2cd versions of 'The Sophtware Slump'. Thus far the Deluxe Edition is only scheduled for release in Europe on August 22nd - you can pre-order it here:

This is the first of two of their spacier, somewhat ambient tracks from that long out of print EP that will now be included on the 'Deluxe Edition'. This is a fan made video for 'What Can't Be Erased'... Enjoy!



In other Grandaddy news the band is reissuing their first three albums - 'Under The Western Freeway', The Sophtware Slump' and 'Sumday' on vinyl in North America on July 19th. Also available is a boxed 'Collector's Edition' that contains all three albums, an exlcusively designed t-shirt - and a poster handmade by Jason! You can find out more information on these and other items from their new official website here: http://grandaddymusic.com/

Here's another track included on the 'Deluxe Edition' of 'The Sophtware Slump' called 'X-Data-II'... Enjoy!
