Hello Nice People.
This is Jim from the former Grandaddy. How do you do? Things have
been busy for the past few months. I just got done with my first
record, which won't be out until February 20th, but I've just posted
some songs on MySpace for the first time. It's called All Smiles.
Let's be friends if you are so inclined. Thanks for paying attention
now and in days of yore.

Fantastic!

Still stuck on "...Fambly Cat". Thank you for not being a part of the quality that falls apart these days.
Keep up the good work.

Been following your work since "Western Freeway" and am glad that the end of Grandaddy didn't meant the end of my listening to new music entirely.

On a side note:
I'm actually an video editor for a small post production company in L.A.
We do primarily work for all the crap that comes out of Universal Music...spots, videos etc.
If you need any help with promotion or videos let me know. I know you are out of state now, I think, but maybe we can still make something happen.

Also have a feature film I'm working on that needs music. I wrote it with your music in the background. If any of this seems of any interest at all....let me know. Stay strong... Lots of Love.

my email.

hey manny!
i'm a long time grandaddy fan and movie buff. Work in tv and film in scotland.
In minor crew only, but i'm interested to know what the film is about. I've long thought that grandaddy are the most underused band. there music is very filmic.
Sorry bit of a shit text but like i say often thought about using there music if i ever get to the lofty position of being able to make my own movie.
go progress chrome!!!

Good news Jim. I always thought you really enjoyed playing live and it's great to hear you've been keeping busy. Do you have a deal and a band?

That's the best new of the month for me!
you can't imagine how me and friends of mine were sad when Grandaddy decide to split!But I was sure that you would continue writing music , Jim, and I'm going to inform everybody!! (sorry if I don't explain myself very well, I'm french..)and believe me, french people really enjoy your music, even if the name is no more Grandaddy,YOU'RE THE BEST!!! The music coming out from your brain is happiness in my ears... Thank you,Jim.

Just got the advanced copy you sent to Steve.  Can't wait to listen to it!  Hopefully, I'll see you in a couple of month, bro.

Excellent!  On my way to check it out.

(what are you going to wear to the Coachella Grandaddy reunion, which I'm thinking would be a good way to spend a weekend in Spring 2012, just before the end of the Mayan calendar.  I'll probably be in a Flaming Lips t-shirt.)

Awesome. Grandaddy is/was my favorite band and looking forward to anything any of you do on your own. Will definately check out the new music from All Smiles. Hope you make it to Detroit if you tour behind the project.

Congrads on your first solo album!!!  I do believe it will be the first, and not the last. I remember having conversations w/ you, as well as, hearing some of your own music years ago and I knew you would make it happen. I am happy for you and hope all is well w/ you and everything else in your life!! Talk to you later, byyyee, your friend, Starlyn.

'ten readings of a warning' by All Smiles (Jim Fairchild) on dangerbird records is a beautiful album & I hope anyone & everyone reading this entry will check it out & invest in this real piece of qaulity.It's the full package...the album artwork is great & in an understated environmentaly friendly way & all Jim's eloquent lyrics are included ,which,for any fan,is always a real bonus & the liner notes make for interesting reading too.Jim's diverse musical talent shines here & his voice has a gentle & fragile empathy that leads you through an emotional journey,sometimes tinged with sadness,often singed with humour,& as this filters through,it really is all smiles
