Writing and composition Regarding the song's conception and its position as ''The Sophtware Slumps opening track, Jason Lytle noted: "It was definitely a struggle to get all the three parts to actually sound like they were intended to live together. I usually get into this space where, once the album starts to come together, I start to figure out what's missing or what needs to be added, and I realised that it really needed something like that to set it off in a certain direction. It's just a struggle putting something like that together and making it not sound forced, y’know?"

Excerpts From The Diary Of Todd Zilla
''Excerpts from the Diary of Todd Zilla'' is an EP by American indie rock band Grandaddy, released on September 27, 2005 through record label V2. According to frontman Jason Lytle, the EP was "a way to fill the gaps of time while recording 'Just Like the Fambly Cat''. The EP received a mixed-to-favorable response from music critics. Title and theme The EP's title reflects frontman Jason Lytle's frustration with his hometown, Modesto, California, and has been described as "not so much a farewell as a fuck off to the town". The name comes from something Lytle saw on the vanity license plate of a large truck in Modesto. In Lytle's words, the EP "was a nice opportunity for me to produce some whiney little complaining songs about my hometown. I think it's pretty blatant; it's pretty stripped down in terms of the message." It was recorded simultaneously with '' Just Like the Fambly Cat'', and Lytle planned to leave Modesto as soon as the album was complete, stating "In Modesto, i ...

Through A Frosty Plate Glass E
Prepositions and postpositions, together called adpositions (or broadly, in traditional grammar, simply prepositions), are a class of words used to express spatial or temporal relations (''in'', ''under'', ''towards'', ''before'') or mark various semantic roles (''of'', ''for''). A preposition or postposition typically combines with a noun phrase, this being called its complement, or sometimes object. A preposition comes before its complement; a postposition comes after its complement. English generally has prepositions rather than postpositions – words such as ''in'', ''under'' and ''of'' precede their objects, such as ''in England'', ''under the table'', ''of Jane'' – although there are a few exceptions including "ago" and "notwithstanding", as in "three days ago" and "financial limitations notwithstanding". Some languages that use a different word order have postpositions instead, or have both types. The phrase formed by a preposition or postposition together with its co ...

Signal To Snow Ratio
Signal to Snow Ratio is an EP by American indie rock band Grandaddy. It was released in 1999 by record label V2. Musical style In the describing the EP's music, AllMusic's Nitsuh Abebe writes "the band takes a large step away from its more straightforward pop and rock constructions, choosing instead to toy with the vintage electronics which added texture to 'Under the Western Freeway'' and to work with more roundabout and inventive pop structures which come off perfectly. Far from the typical Pavement and Weezer references which hovered around the LP, the best aesthetic reference for ''Signal to Snow Ratio'' would be more along the lines of Mercury Rev – the sounds might be completely different, but the intelligent and imaginative approach to rethinking pop music is very much the same." Release ''Signal to Snow Ratio'' was released in 1999 and is also included in the special edition of the album ''The Sophtware Slump''. Reception Brent DiCrescenzo of Pitchfork desc ...

Reception AllMusic writer Dean Carlson gave it a three-star review, describing it as "a decent litmus test for the group's own potential. Definitely not as pretty as the title might suggest, but still one of the better – although flawed – messes from America's indie underground", comparing it to Pavement, Pixies and Yo La Tengo. Guitarist Jim Fairchild put the similarities to Pavement down to their recording budget, stating "We had very meager means when we recorded our first album for Will Records, so it's naturally going to sound ...
