After rummaging through a few of my favorite blogs this morning, I discovered that Metro Distortion posted the animated video for Grandaddy’s “Elevate Myself.” You may remember this song from the live clip we gave you a while back from Jason Lytle’s performance at NYC’s Other Music.

Also, in case you missed it last time we discussed Mr. Lytle, he is embarking on an acoustic tour as a farewell. He will be performing songs from the entire history of Grandaddy, including songs from Sumday, The Sophtware Slump and their final album, Just Like the Fambly Cat. Once again, here are the dates:
