Sweet! The latest Grails record made it to my top ten albums of 2011, let’s see if Lilacs & Champagne will place itself among the best ten albums of 2012.
Maybe if I have the longest comment, I will get the prize. And by comment I mean penis and by prize I mean vagina. And by longest I mean mediocre and by vagina I mean the hole in the middle of the record.
Trippy bro
Love music, hope i’ll win. Thanks.
Well, every single thing Grails guys touch is gold, like the Taj Mahal, I would love to have this travelling with me to India!
Love the site! Thanks and keep up the good work!!
Roses & Liquor
I’ve been using Grails recordings to teach my guitar students new/interesting scales for the last three years. Give me a copy and help them learn A phyrigian!
freebie!
gimmie dat
Awesome!
Life right now is a limbo waiting for the Lilacs & Champagne record to be released. This will define 2012 as Deep Politics did 2011.
Directement au niveau des synapses…

Woah!
It is really extraordinary. The heaviness of the writing is strong evidence of his physical vitality and his crushing power. Note also the underlining with its upward drift and its immense strength.
Awesome!
