Well, it has finally happened.
After a fierce breakup, yellowviolet's final album has been released.
Late last winter, an argument about whether or not to insert a jaw harp solo or some "funny grunting sounds" got out of control. It wasn't until a few weeks ago that yellowviolet could even sit in the same room together and semi-cordially go over the tracks to determine which ones made the cut.
This isn't the first time that yellowviolet has called it quits. Back in 1999, yellowviolet took a break that lasted 7 years. Although yellowviolet has declined to describe this as a "hiatus" or a true breakup, he did say that he "couldn't even think about spending another session with that assclown."
There was even a rumor that the album was going to be literally split in half – not one song here and one song there, but track by track.
"Nobody wants to hear some jackass playing a jaw harp solo for an hour and a half. I guess we'll just get it over with and release the damn thing the way it is."
The album, originally called "Here It Is, Now Fuck Off" was released last week under the tamer title, Grand Finale. Grand Finale goes places where other yellowviolet albums were headed, but halfway there got kidnapped, thrown on a bus and tossed over a cliff in a whiskey barrel. I'm not really sure what that means, but I'm pretty sure that no other album has ever gone there.
So, before the web site is shut down, check out Grand Finale. You can listen to the album in it's entirety at yellowviolet.org and can download by right-clicking on the tracks.
I encourage everyone to reply to this blog and try to get yellowviolet to patch things up and get back in the studio.
Thanks for listening.
