Fountains Of Wayne

.I've been figuring the "Strike" would go through the day today, Friday the 23rd, but have seen some comments suggesting others are thinking it's over as of today. .I don't know what the original intent was but; HEY, LET'S CALL IT OVER! Even if it's 24 hours early. The message has been sent, probably too late to effect the new deeper MOG version 2.75 (or was it 3.75?) the Mogfather has hinted will be coming our way soon. Let's just hope the message was already understo... MORE

A while ago, I was surfing the Internet, with iTunes set on "Party Shuffle," when this tune made me stop and listen. I looked up the artist and thought, "I sure didn't expect THAT from them." This may or may not be Country, but it sure is a dark and lonely place, where alcohol is a poor substitute for love.

Hope you feel better soon. It sucks to be sick.

My boy has pneumonia, just diagnosed on Wednesday evening, so I'm home. He has had a persistent cough, heck, we both have. His just seemed to change Tuesday night. I got him in for a check and we were promptly sent to the hospital for chest x-rays, blood tests for mono, and a skin test for TB...It seems that when the fever spikes in children, at night, it is a warning sign for TB. And since I was coughing too...chest x-rays all around. He has his recheck today and a... MORE

debi was asking about football songs. I recall the NFL used the Fountains of Wayne's "All Kinds of Time" as music for a promo commercial a few years ago. I think it stands up well. What about other football songs?

Fountains of Wayne again, wishing for the unattainable (unless you are a newbie Mogger with no picture for an avatar)

In honor of your tales of the King of Prussia Mall Santa, this one from the Fountains of Wayne!

"Hey Julie" is an older tune from FoW, from the album that first introduced me to the group. Tons of other people also met Fountains listening to this album--mostly because of the song "Stacey's Mom" about a kid who likes his friend Stacey's mom more than he likes Stacey. The whole album is great, including similarly peppy tunes like "Peace and Love." But Fountains also lets us see the mellow side of life with "These Days," an introspective look back on lost love. My favor... MORE

add me up!

Hey Julie is a great tune for a beautiful late summer day when one desperately wants to play hookie from work. A great video in the "Hot for Teacher" ala Van Halen video genre is Stacy's Mom also by Fountains of Wayne below.

Last Sunday, my trusty side-kick Jaye-bird visited Neumos 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 (... MORE

Linkin Park has done it again: a new album, "new" songs...I haven't actually picked up the album, because I expect to hear the same old crap again: something about how Chester Bennington hates himself or that he can't be what he was before. I've heard "What I've Done" [not my own fault, though - it's inescapable on the radio] and although it sounds just like a snazzy new version of the old stuff with less rap, it still makes me dance.This sums it up nicely: It sti...
