I guess it’s my duty to be the indie rock historian of this blog…Ten years ago Grandaddy released its sophomore, Sophtware Slump album.  Mixed by Pavement’s bizarro first drummer, Gary Young, Sophtware Slump featured Grandaddy’s distinctly American northwest sound morphing with the anti-technology mantra of OK Computer. Jason Lytle, Grandaddy’s lead singer-songwriter, explores deforestation (Broken Household Appliance National Forest), civilized man (The Crystal Lake) and escape from the “machine” (Miner at the Dial-A-View).  My favorite song on Sophtware Slump is a simple piano ditty, Underneath the Weeping Willow.  It may make you cry… -Henry
