Fountains Of Wayne have revealed a few details about their new album.Bassist Adam Schlesinger recently told Billboard that the band hoped to release the new album sometime in 2009.“We still have a ways to go, but we have eight songs that are relatively close to complete now. We’re looking to regroup after the New Year and do the second batch,” Schlesinger told Billboard.“I think we’re tr

No, not as a joke writer. But Adam Schlesinger does continue to write awesome songs for fun things. Adding to his resumé as Oscar, Golden Globe, Tony, and of course Grammy nominated songwriter, the Fountains Of Wayne singer-guitarist revealed to Paste he will pen tunes for The Colbert Report 's Christmas Special. This is great news because Adam's songs got it going on ("Stacy's Mom" reference)..

don’t it make you want to get some sun? Fountains Of Wayne - Radiation Vibe / 1996Fountains of Wayne are most famous for their 2003 comeback song “Stacy’s Mom” but it was 1996’s “Radiation Vibe” that first broke them onto the scene and into my heart. But its not all MILFs and underwear-on-the-outside with [...]

Fountains Of Wayne are one of those bands that it's damn near impossible to hate. They make catchy, accessible pop tunes that feature clever lyrics (Adam Schlesinger wrote songs for Stephen Colbert of God's sake). It's a winning combination.No Better Place- Live In Chicago is the band's first live DVD (out March 3rd). Recorded at a 2005 show in the Windy City, the DVD is pretty much a strai

"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 s...

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....

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 stuf...

I recently saw Fountains of Wayne for the second and last time. The first time was at a Penn's Landing (Philly) extravaganza a couple of years ago. They were fully electrified, but the music was nearly incomprehensible and much too loud. I knew what they were playing, as I own all of their releases and love this band. My poor wife was not so lucky and was not impressed. The only time I really e...

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...
