Oh dear, this is wonderfully odd

Grandaddy really achieved critical (if not commercial) success in 2000 with their 2nd album, The Sophtware Slump. This generated lofty expectations for their eventual follow-up, Sumday. It took the band years to complete Sumday, much to the consternation of their record label, V2. So eager was V2 that they made repeated calls to the home of frontman, Jason Lytle.

Well, Jason and the gang got a great idea to screw with the boys at V2 but good! Over the course of three alcohol-fueled days, Grandaddy recorded an album for V2. It wasn't quite the album V2 was expecting, though.

Yes, The Ham and its Lily was the album V2 received...and they freaked! By all accounts, people were almost fired over the joke. Executives were convinced Lytle had lost his mind and needed rehab. Once things were smoothed over, The Ham and its Lily was officially credited to Grandaddy's alias, Arm of Roger.

Funny thing is; the album is pretty good! It is so bad, so bizarre, so utterly bereft of continuity, that it rocks pretty hard. I dare you to listen to the song "One Time They Called And Asked For Freddy" and not be humming it 2 days later.

Anyway, that is the history of this bizarre album, now here is the album.

UPDATE:

I almost forgot this truly stupid video that I, J.R. Kinnard, made for "The Pussy Song". Yeah, nothing to be proud of, but somebody is watching it. It has almost 20,000 hits through vSocial!

"I am a naked spaceman/I like to stand naked on the moon."

These dudes were doing some serious drugs.

Thanks for reminding me about "The Pussy Song". I did a video for it (don't ask me why I felt the need to make a video for it). I'll edit the post to include the vid.
 
I can't blame the record execs-I would have thought they needed help too.

Wish I could have been in the room when they first played it. ;)
 
SE-yeah, that would have been priceless.
And JR, that is where I heard it. I wondered what the hell it was, and how the hell you found it...heh.
