Last Sunday, my trusty side-kick "Jaye-bird":http://mog.com/jaye visited "Neumos":http://neumos.com/ for one of our favorite local artists, Sean Nelson of Harvey Danger infamy.
Now, Sean was the opening act. And he was terrific, as we expected. The headlining band, however, was Fountains of Wayne. I didn't know who they were, so a month or so ago, I asked one of our MOGGERs if he had any FOW. After being threatened with an intervention because I was buying tickets for shows of artists I didn't even know (I resisted BTW, just like Amy I don't need rehab for this addiction), I was clued in that FOW are the _Stacey's mom has got it going on _ guys. Ahhhhhhh, well...
They were alright. Rather poppy, but what do you expect? The crowd were an interesting mix of moms and dads with their kids and late teen/early twenty young men, who sang the flagship song with gusto. Was kinda disconcerting, in a Mary Kay Letourno way. Ewwwww...Anyhow. The point of this rather pointless post is that while FOW didn't knock my socks off, the lead singer Chris Collingwood had one of the most beautiful guitars I've seen. 
And this is what I wanted to share with you, as well as the bass player was very talented and didn't use a pic, and the drummer was kind of hot. Silver linings in every cloud, I tell you, silver linings...
Finally, as is my tradition here on MOG, we have shoes. In this case they are Chris Collingwood's extremely orange Nikes, topped by his tangerine pants....only rock stars can pull this off
