My first order of business is Fountains of Wayne. Like Bruce Willis in Die Hard, these guys are back with a vengeance. If you read that last sentence and it evokes a humdrum “blah blah blah,” I’ve been there with you. However, if you’ve got any soul to your music tastes, you will take my vehemence of passion and see for yourself the goodness these guys possess in their latest record, Traffic and Weather. Don’t be one of the countless paltry listeners who dub these guys the “Stacy’s Mom band” and write them off as a one-hit wonder. Trust me. With songs like the title track, “Fire In The Canyon,” “Yolanda Hayes,” and the balladry of, “I-95,” you’ve got powerpop at its finest. Skip the foreplay of their myspace, and just buy the record here. Here’s to these guys sticking around for the long haul.
