Fairchild was the lead guitarist of California rock band Grandaddy, and is currently the lead guitarist of Modest Mouse.
Biography
Jim Fairchild moved to Modesto at the age of two, and began to play guitar at the age of 14. He has lived in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Portland, Oregon where he began to work under the name "All Smiles". As of 2009 he lives in San Francisco.
Fairchild joined Grandaddy as guitarist in 1995, and remained with the band until they broke up in 2006. He is featured on the Giant Sand release, Cover Magazine. In 2001, he was the touring guitarist with Giant Sand, who were the opening act for PJ Harvey.
In 2005 Fairchild began touring as a guitarist in Modest Mouse before Johnny Marr joined the band. He released his first solo album, Ten Readings of a Warning, which he arranged to be carbon neutral, in 2007, as well as a single, "Moth in a Cloud of Smoke". Musicians on the album include Solon Bixler, Joe Plummer, Danny Seim, and Janet Weiss. The album art was created by Natasha Wheat. Fairchild rejoined Modest Mouse in February 2009, and has continued to tour with them both nationally and internationally. Fairchild released his second album, Oh for the Getting and Not Letting Go, on June 30, 2009. Band members on the album were Solon Bixler, Mike Cresswell, Nik Freitas, and Joe Plummer. After recording in Austin, Chicago, Los Angeles, Modesto, and Portland, All Smiles released the EP Fall Never Fell on November 17, 2009. The EP was recorded with musicians Solon Bixler, Mike Cresswell, Nik Freitas, Chico Jones, Dave Osborne, Joe Plummer, Danny Seim, Rachel Stolte, and Alance Ward.
All Smiles is an album by the Kenny Clarke/Francy Boland Big Band featuring performances recorded in Germany in 1968 and released on the MPS label. The album was also released in the US on Prestige Records as Let's Face the Music.
Reception
The AllMusic review says "One of the qualities that set apart this aggregation from others of the same mettle was the smoothness of the playing. Smoothness here means sensuous and bluesy, not lifeless in the sense the term is used in contemporary jazz. There's a bounce to the up-tempo tunes, but the ostentatious playing other bands were noted for is shunned. A fine performance".

Utopia | Live at the Capitol Theatre, Passaic, NJ - 1980 (Late Show)
Utopia live at the Capitol Theatre, Passaic, New Jersey on October 31, 1980 ('Deface the Music' tour 1980). During this era, the band often "opened" for themselves, performing 2 sets (1 featuring primarily Todd Rundgren's solo material, and one featuring primarily Utopia material). This is the Utopia set. I restored the audio by adding compression, EQ, and soft reverb to add to the concert atmosphere.

You had such a kind smileI'm sad it's gone If I never say it out loud It can't be wrong I left in such a big hurry Packed nothing real I just had to get out You seemed so strong Not like my forced smiles You act like such a tough girl Thought you could deal If I've been such a bad friend Who taught you to steal Now you're gone And I'm left with forced smiles
