I found out about Fountains Of Wayne in 2003, about the same time that many other people did, but for a different reason. A friend at work had been listening to them for years, and recommended them along with a few other bands such as the Wondermints and Shack. I listened to the recommended songs, and loved their suburban guitar-pop. And right around the same time Stacy's Mom became a bit of a runaway novelty hit. The single could've been considered a sell-out by some ... MORE

While I'm rarely in favor of a band using lyrics to try to trick you in to believing that they live in a different universe where emotions are more powerful and love is deeper and there are no brands names or proper nouns, I'm even less in favor of a band using lyrics to remind me that they live in the same time and civilization as I do by name dropping pop culture references and winking asides about TV and current music. This, among many other reasons, is why I hate the n... MORE

Dear SIRIUS DJs (mp3Js?) (m4aJS?),
I would like to begin by saying thank you for finally curbing your appetite for all things Ween. This was, I'm sure, a lapse of judgment and I am glad to see the universe straightening itself out.
I, and several colleagues, have noticed, however, an increase in your "spinning" Fountains of Wayne songs over your satellite airwaves. Please stop. This is not 'OK.' No one needs to hear tales of tossing off to a friend's mother or getting a cart... MORE

Progressive Pop Pundits spin their wheels or, _Welcome Interstate Managers_ the outtakes If you lived in North Jersey in the late 90's and liked new rock, you probably liked Fountains of Wayne. Alot. They were like your own low fi personal possesion, passed around between you and your friends like a secret that made you blush and smile when you heard it.. You drove into the city for shows, knew where the place was on rt 46, and salivated for a new record.And then over... 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...

So if you can remember back to a few years ago, you might recall a very annoying song titled, "Stacy's Mom." This song was in fact, done by New York professional pop-sters Fountains of Wayne. For those of you who stopped at "this song is so stupid and so annoying" and failed to realize almost every music publication gave the parent album to the single "Welcome Interstate Managers" five out of five stars or close to it, you missed the boat. Now is your chance to redeem... MORE
