Whitney's 6-Pack: Fountains of Wayne

Okay, people, it's Friday afternoon.  It's that time.  Again.


As you're picking up a six-pack of this or that to round out the week, here's another.  In the interest of spreading the love of good music, we will throw out six suggested songs by certain bands you may or may not know much about. Not much of a time commitment, just a little something to get the flavor and get you going.

We're kicking this off with a band that references New Jersey.  Since it's Dave's birthday and all.

Whitney's 6-Pack: Fountains of Wayne

Vitals
Where: New York City
When: 1995-2013
Who: Chris Collingwood, Adam Schlesinger, Jody Porter, Brian Young

Most know them from their biggest hit, the titillating "Stacy's Mom." Not a bad song, and I've included herein, but they've done plenty more worth a listen.  Enjoy.

"Radiation Vibe," Fountains of Wayne, 1996


"Someone to Love," Traffic and Weather, 2007


"Hackensack," Welcome Interstate Managers, 2003


"Someone's Gonna Break Your Heart," Sky Full of Holes, 2011


"Sink to the Bottom," Fountains of Wayne, 1996


"Stacy's Mom," Welcome Interstate Managers, 2003

Jody Porter might make the list of rock assholes.

This kinda steals an idea I was working on. Thief.

TR asked how normal folks handle stress. I’m not normal but I do find weed helps to take the edge off. No hangovers either.

rob said...

i'm pretty normal, in the grand scheme of things, and i handle stress by drinking. i used to handle it by running a lot, but my joints don't love that.

First soccer game of the season in the books. Only one of my eight kids is a space cadet this season. A huge improvement over last year.

Teej--the Peeps flavored Oreos are delicious

A retrospective tribute to Grayson Allen feels like Springtime for Hitler.

your tribe tips at 2:30 tomorrow. plan accordingly, pray at your local religious and/or spiritual order, and offer the appropriate ritual sacrifices.

These announcers are annoyIng

mayhugh said...

WHat channel are they on?

Shlara said...

Not on TV, just on the interwebs via "CAA-TV"
Which is awful. You can't watch the game on full screen AND get the score.
I think they're doing this so we watch in person.

Shlara said...

Ok, so I guess CAATV reads GTB
They just added a score to the game feed

Shlara said...

We’re up by 13 with 3:41 left in the game and I’m still nervous.

Mark said...

I was pretty drink an drink meant to comment on it last night but, drunj so I forgot. Anywho, Rockets-Celtics was highly entertaining.

zman said...

And it looks like you're still drunk.

Whitney said...

Mark with a strong contender for drunkest comment of 2018.

TR said...

I watched the 4th qtr of Rockets-Celts. Some strong basketballing and absurdly good three-point shooting.

Mark said...

I was dead sober when I posted that comment. Maybe that was the problem. Still sober, by the way. Adulthood is pretty overrated.
