from the Grant-Lee Phillips' website news:

The relative portion: ..."What’s taken shape in the late hours of my downtime is a semi-acoustic rendering of cult classics by The Pixies, Joy Division, REM, The Cure, Robyn Hitchcock, The Church, Nick Cave, New Order, Echo And The Bunnymen and The Smiths.

  • Grant Lee Buffalo were an awesome band, don't know much of his solo stuff though.

  • Grant Lee Buffalo put out some incredible songs and CDs. They also put out some unbelievable Bsides. They were just under the radar and slowly disbanded - what a shame. Grant Lee Phillips put out an icredible CD titled Virginia Creeper. He is brilliant.
