Hearing the "you're playing the wrong chords" story made me laugh. I knew Chris Collingwood in High School and I've never met anyone as arrogant about their musical knowledge/taste/talent. But as I got to know him better I realized it's not bragging if you can back it up.
Welcome Interstate Managers is such a criminally underrated album. It's an incredible run of pop songs wrapped in different genres and built around amazing miniature screenplays. It's magnifying glass critique of suburban America was about 5 years before 'The Office', and I think it was just overlooked, partially because of Stacy's Mom.
Hackensack, Halley's Waitress, All Kinds of Time, and Hung Up on You are tracks that I'll bump forever and it sucks that they're stuck in the towering shadow of the third song on that album.
It’s been one of my Desert Island Discs (That’s not a thing anymore, is it?) since the day it came out. Stacy’s Mom is probably my least favorite song on the album, but I still love it.
@@bro9991 "Valley Winter Song" is another I'd add to that list. I don't know that I've ever heard another song that captures the melancholy of being stuck inside on a grey winter day quite like that one.
Adam was singularly one of the most extraordinary human beings I’ve had the good fortune to call my friend. There are few days that pass that I don’t think of him at least once. Thank you for producing this fantastic piece. One thing that’s overlooked here is, one of Adam’s first breaks into the music biz was being hired by Jody to play bass in his band The Belltower, who had helped usher in the Shoegaze/BritPop movement in the late 80’s and early 90’s. That band eventually dissolved following the divorce of Jody and his then wife, Britta Phillips (Luna/Dean & Britta). It was in the wake of that divorce that Adam sent the demo for the FoW debut to Jody and asked him if he’d like to join the band. Bri later came onboard as he stepped off The Posies train, and was positively the only drummer this band could have ever had. Jesus, Brian Young is one of the best drummers in rock. Together, this was very much a band, not just Chris and Adam working in a vacuum (although they handled all the songwriting). In the end, this video certainly left me in quiet tears, as I appreciated the tone and treatment of the news of Adam’s passing and his imprint on so much of pop culture.
Thank you for posting such a beautiful ode to your friend. We loved Adam’s music (as Gen Xers we adored his take on pop culture), and we were just amazed at his brilliance and versatility. Reading about his very untimely death in those early days of the pandemic was just so brutal.
In 2021, I finally got around to a long-in-development book about the Josie and the Pussycats movie, and I’m heartbroken how little Adam ever talked about his role and thus how little he is featured in the book.
Whenever Trash Theory post one of their mini documentaries I click and click like and then I get round to watching it. Even if it is about something I've not previously been a fan of. They are that good, always informative, interesting, and usually a bit of fun. Sometimes I have even gained a new appreciation of an artist or song. Supposed what I am trying to say is keep up the good work, I hope it brings you as much joy as it brings me.
Their videos are so well created that they always give me something even if I am not a fan of the artist or genre. But when they do video about something I like those videos are absolute pleasure!
@@josefacundo6140 Must admit I hit my teens in the early 80's, kind of musically aware late 70's (then acts like the Boomtown Rats, Blondie were new) so as a music nerd I know most of them. However if you are younger than me, many of these are probably new to you, or more like ancient Greek hero's, often referenced, when spoken of directly, it's in hushed reverence .If you pick up on an artist through these, welcome aboard, I'm a bit jealous as you have all "That" (points to discography) to enjoy discovering.
Very nicely done; i wasn't familiar with much more than "Stacy's Mom" but by the end I felt that I was mourning the loss of a genuinely multifaceted talent. Few can create the kind of sheer number of good songs he had a hand in.
Very strange that he died of covid, and that so many people died of covid. I caught covid at age 66, and it was no big deal. Not much worse than a cold or flu. Maybe I was helped by the fact that I had received two vaccination shots prior to catching it. Now I've had four shots, and I will take a fifth shot if it is available. Get vaccinated, everyone.
I am re-watching Crazy Ex-Girlfriend now. I adore it. Also, last month I watched Rachel Bloom's new live show, wherein she shares a lot of her feelings about Adam and his passing. It's a brilliant and painful show.
Stacy's Mom, Hackensack, Leave The Biker, Radiation Vibe, Sink To The Bottom, Red Dragon Tattoo, Mexican Wine, Richie And Ruben, Denise, those were all played a lot on Dutch speaking Belgian radio. I love them all and it's so sad Adam had to fall victim to covid19 at such a young age... Thanks for this delightful documentary.
Didn't realise how much music Adam wrote. Way back into love is such a brilliant song, as are most in this video. What a shame he died.... and from Covid, at such a young age. You will be fondly remembered.
I am a lifelong mega Monkees fan. When I heard "That Thing You Do!" back in the day, I immediately thought "this guy gets pop. He should produce a record for the Monkees!" When I told people that they looked at me like I had a horn growing out of my head. It took twenty years, but he ultimately did. And it was fantastic! Monster good, a classic! Thanks Adam, for all the melodic music and smiles. Welcome Interstate Managers has a place of pride on red vinyl in my collection right next to my teal blue vinyl copy of the Monkees Good Times, and Psonic Psunspot by the Dukes of Stratosphere. What higher compliment can I give? Rest in Peace Mr. Music Man.
“Welcome Interstate Managers” is an absolute underrated classic: “Mexican Wine”, “Bright Future In Sales”, “No Better Place”. If there was true justice in this world, FOW would’ve been hailed as the heir to the portraiture style writing of Ray Davies.
I won’t pretend, I absolutely love the Josie and the Pussycats songs. I bought the cd back in the day. My 18 year old self had to often times defend it for having it in my collection.
I was in the same college class as both Adam and Chris. Everyone who attended a party in college knew them, because they were always playing music, but with the typical paths of law, medicine & Wall Street for most Williams grads, I don't think anyone realized music would be their full-time careers. I still remember seeing them playing back up in a quick scene on the first season of "the Real World" for one of the cast members and thinking "are they doing music full time?" then not realizing Radiation Vibe was them for the longest time. I will die mad, though, that "That Thing You Do" didn't win the Oscar, because it's not just period perfect & right for the film, making it pivotal to the plot; after 11 renditions in less than 2 hours, you don't hate it. As for my favorite songs, with Fountains of Wayne, it's Hackensack, because it's like a Neil Simon play in miniature. For his comedy songs, I have to go with "It's Not Just for Gays Anymore," because it was side-splitting hilarious. Oddly, my favorite Fountains of Wayne song is a Collingwood creation, "Valley Winter Song," because it so perfectly evokes the Berkshires. When the news came of Adam's passing, so early in the pandemic, it was a gut punch to everyone in our class, and oddly made us all come together in various virtual ways, which was a perfect tribute to him. My favorite memory, though, is at our 25th reunion, in 2014, when Adam walked into the dorm that was our headquarters and various classmates started doing the Wayne's World "we're not worthy" bow, and he couldn't quite accept we all thought of him as a superstar.
I was in your class too, @CPTDoom. I saw Adam pretty often in the 90s when we both lived in NYC, but one time I remember especially, I was walking somewhere in Midtown and my path was blocked by the Pope's motorcade coming through, and then Adam was there too, also just walking somewhere. I asked him what he'd been up to, and he said "Well, I wrote this song that Tom Hanks is thinking about putting in a movie. I don't think he will, though. It's not that great...it rhymes 'do' with 'do'."
I remember playing That Thing You Do to death and having no clue who wrote it, everything else I liked continued in that way too come to think of it. My favourite song of his is actually Hackensack. Katy Perry did it on her MTV unplugged and she announced where its from and it genuinely shocked me that the Stacey's Mom dudes did Hackensack. But that's the point isn't it. That's their song and you'd hope people find them and look past it.
20:24 I don't think the moms daughter is his girlfriend, the song doesn't indicate it and the music video explicitly shows they aren't boyfriend and girlfriend at all. But she wishes he was her boyfriend while he's fantasising about the mother.
Adam with his absolute genius, and the great original lead singer of The Cars (the band Adam admired so deeply), Benjamin Orr, left us waaaaay too song. Decades apart but both were way too young…I cried when I read the news about Adam - the early days of the pandemic were just so horrible but Adam’s death (a fellow Gen Xer) just seemed so personal.
R.I.P. Adam Schlesinger♡ Before coming upon this video I only knew of _Stacy's Mom_ and not the guys or even band behind that catchy song that is so obviously so well etched into the cultural memory of the collective consciousness that I had recently paraphrased it to make a smart-ass joke online and therefor wound up eventually looking up the song again for a listen to refresh my own memory, ultimately leading me to this beautiful and genuinely appreciative and loving video essay. Now I can whole-heartedly say that I am very glad to, through this heartfelt tribute and memoriam of a reportage, have gotten a bit more familiar with Adam Schlesinger, the band Fountains of Wayne and the other guys behind it and to thus have learned about the important and meaningful contributions they all made to popular culture and music. The whimsical yet covertly serious (by slight of word rather than hand) _lightness of being_ that emenated from their boys/guys-next-door's perspective driven kind of investigations of the humanity, human condition and woes of mundane, average and often rather uneventful people is portrayed as very sincere here and speaks to their personable integrity! So it seems to me that this tribute is very well deserved and that I would have loved to ever gotten to meet Adam Schlesinger in person, had I ever gotten the chance to do so. So may all of you who did personally know him in a favourable way keep him in your hearts and minds and not allow the world to forget about his person and his works for a long time to come!♡☆🙂
You know, I like the movie “music and lyrics” and always thought the music was phenomenally well suited for it. Now I know why…Adam had a super talent for being able to write music…both ballads and songs with humor. The soundtrack and High Grant make it a pretty fun movie!
My favorite Adam Schlesinger (and Dominique Durand) song is "Edge of the Ocean", from the Ivy album 'Long Distance'. That song is a strong contender for my favorite song ever.
Would you be willing to do a deep-dive into Matt Mahaffey of sElf? He's another huge-behind-the-scenes power pop artist that never really got a huge amount of public acclaim, but has a bottomless pit of musical talent and knowledge; he's written music for over 50 television series and films, and most famously composed a full length album with children's instruments, Gizmodgery.
I heard "that thing you do" in a Kohl's one time and thought a lot about how even though it's a fake 60s jangle hit, it slotted in perfectly with the actual songs they used to put on the muzak. Dude wrote a song that not only sounded like a certain era, but like one you'd been hearing on oldies stations all your life. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend just proved he could do one of those for every imaginable genre. Unbelievable talent and my personal Tri-State hero.
I was a huge FoW fan from the moment I heard their first album right after it came out. In the late '90s they were one of those bands that was like a secret that you wish weren't. (Beulah is another one that comes to mind.) In a better, alternative universe, "Red Dragon Tattoo" and "Leave the Biker" were smash hits. Schlesinger's death, early in the pandemic, was deeply sad. He had so many great songs left in him.
Whoa, a Beulah shout out? That makes me so effing happy. I still occasionally get the chorus of A Man Like Me stuck in my head randomly when I wake up in the morning. I have a whole shelf of CDs from the mid 2000s that all have a very specific, jangly glitterblack sound to them. That Beulah record, Doves Some Cities, Nada Surf's Lucky, there was this sound I was very specifically in love with in my mid 20s.
When I was a kid my favorite band was REM. The response to that answer was always "oh the band that plays Stand" or "Shiny Happy People", and I was always like "yeah...but..." And then they went on become one of the biggest bands in the world. Nowadays when asked and I say Fountains of Wayne the response is "oh that band that plays Stacy's Mom." And I'm like "first of all, that's a great song...but..." I always hoped they'd follow the same trajectory, like maybe that would draw enough attention for people to pull back the curtain. Fountains of Wayne, and particularly Adam Schlesinger, will go down as one of the most criminally underrated artists in history, IMHO.
In that initial couple months of the pandemic news, I had completely forgotten Adam had passed away. I'm not a fan of musicals in general, but Crazy Ex Girlfriend is one of the most brilliant TV shows ever created. The musical numbers are just top notch throughout its run. And to think they were doing that with the typical TV show deadlines you always hear about. His life was too brief, but wow, what a genuinely amazing list of accomplishments.
THANKS a lot for covering one of my favourite bands of all time. I fell in love with “Denise” since the first time I heard it. Not trying to be pedantic or anything, but “Stacy’s mom” never catched my ear like “Hey Julie” or “mexican wine” in that album. I was able to talk to them and get my copy of “Traffic and Weather” signed by the band when they toured here in Spain. Any chance you could cover, even briefly, his parallel project Ivy or the superband Tinted Windows? R.I.P. Adam Schlesinger. A true pop genius
I've always loved "That Thing You Do!" movie. Adam is a genius! My other faves from Fountain of Wayne are the songs "Traffic and Weather" and "Strapped for Cash".
Love this video, Fountains are one of my favourite bands and Collingwood/Schlesinger deserve to be spoken in the same breath as Lennon/MCCartney. Always been a huge fan of Bright Future in Sales, 92 Subaru and New Routine but there are so many to choose from. Probabaly the COVID death that upset me the most, RIP Adam.
I knew Fountains Of Wayne from Stacy's Mom, first and foremost. I'd heard snippet of Mexican Wine here and there, but when I REALLY got into them was while going through an "anything remotely John Hughes-esque" phase. I found a movie called Trojan War and I've Got A Flair was on the soundtrack for that and my true love for them started. Truly one of their most underrated songs. I bought their self-titled and wore it out. I think I've bought it used, three or four times now, until the advent of streaming, just because it'd constantly be in my car CD player. From there, I got into all their other records. Welcome Interstate Managers was ALWAYS a must listen when my cousin and I went on a roadtrip. I've seen them live more than any other band, including a weird performance where they were a back up band for Brooke Shields as she relayed the story of a one off date with George Michael. It hit me like an atom bomb when Adam died. The last show I went to, they busted out I've Got A Flair and I nearly cried.
I loved Ivy and, when I wrote reviews for a weekly rag in Savannah, made Apartment Life one of my top 10 of '97. Of course, I also loved That Thing You Do. What an unexpected and sweet tribute this video was. Thank you, TT.
I never really liked this band that much, but the title of this video was really good and lured me in. I found myself being really inspired by the story you told about this band. Great job!
I had only started to appreciate the breadth of Adam's talent through CXG. I am a huge fan and it is a very important show for me personally. Through behind the scenes stuff I found out 'oh that's the Stacey's Mom guy' and 'oh the Stacey's Mom guy also wrote That Thing you do'. I realised he must be a stupidly talented songwriter to be on that team and to write such varied hits. It was a total shock when he died. I still can't believe it. It was only after he died that I realised he'd written on Josie and the Pussycats too. It's so weird how 1 writer can be involved in so many of your fave songs and you don't even realise it. Thanks for this video, he deserves the appreciation. 🖤💜🖤💜
In my teens, the tiny fortnightly local alternative night used to close with "sink to the bottom" - so it's always had a deeply nostalgic and melancholic vibe for me. Later is life I got really into Crazy Ex Girlfriend, which completely sidestepped my usual ambivalence to musicals. Each pastiche was so brilliantly realised that they could just swing from Death Metal to the Spice Girls without missing a beat. It was clear that they had a lot of affection for what they were trying to emulate. Then, eventually I started to clock just what other projects Adam had been involved with and it blew my mind. His passing was my first real gut-punch of 2020. It just sucks that he’s gone, it really does.
@@tassherb Oh, god, that's like choosing between my children. Barbara H is wondrous though. The whole album is. Sick Day, I guess, if I had to pick - from that album, at least - would probably pip it, but fortunately I don't have to pick! I remember it being one of the first CDs I owned, when I finally moved over from tapes, and so I was more able to just start listening from the beginning every time I put it on. Naturally the first few songs got more play, so became more familiar...but I remember my little sister saying at the time that whenever we did listen all the way through, it was full of songs that all made us both say "Oh, and this one's incredible too! It's all amazing!" And it still is.
So well put together it doesn't matter if you have any interest/knowledge of the topic at hand, you always learn and appreciate the content. Thanks for your effort and keep them coming. Always come here to learn about bands/genres I've never really had a previous appreciation for. Outstanding work... 🤝
Loved “Radiation Vibe” from the first time I heard it, it was like a blast through the sludge of 90s grunge…but “Sick Day” is a masterpiece of the mundanity and sadness running through the lives of anyone in a meaningless office job. A Poignant and honest window into a real-life character’s thoughts and feelings.
Chris Collingwood: I'm tired of writing jokey songs. I'm starting my own band so I'll be taken seriously! :: starts a country band called The Gay Potatoes ::
fuck I haven't watched Josie and the Pussycats in like 15 years. "subversive" was the exact word my friend used to get me to watch it. I rolled my eyes and gave it a shot. he wasn't wrong.
I've always like FoW, but had no idea of their musical journey or Adam Schlesinger's role in the band. Nor of his role in so many other amazing songs. Thanks!
Adam: "...an American band that's kind of a cheap imitation of the Beatles, 'cause there were a lot of bands sprouting up then" Me: Like the Knickerbockers haha Chris: The Knickerbockers Me: CALLED IT Video: plays that one Knickerbockers song...Perfect
The song 'End of the movie' from crazy ex girlfriend, Adam's demo recording of it specifically, always makes me tear up and laugh at the same time. I mainly knew of him through that show, and of course I knew of his band, but wow, he had a hand in so many of the things I've grown up on and I didn't even know! He really was a talented guy.
0:26 What's the most catchiest song ever written about a "girlfriends" parents? Putting in parentheses because when I listen to it, she's not his girlfriend, she wants him to be her boyfriend, but he just hangs out with her to sneek a peak at the mom.
Crazily, I had no knowledge of the existence of "Stacy's Mom", or even of Fountains of Wayne. Instead, I've always known Adam Schlesinger as one of the key forces behind the Monkees' 2016 album "Good Times". He didn't just write the one song, he produced the whole thing (and in fact Jody Porter and Brian Young did some session work on some of the songs). Let me tell you, it's one of the best production jobs in the Monkees' catalog. That is to say, Schlesinger's work as a musician and songwriter is phenomenal, but he was also a great producer, and that shouldn't be left unsaid.
If you haven’t listened to Fountains of Wayne Hotline by Robbie Fulks, you must do so right now. It not a piss-take, it’s an appreciation of their genius.
Absolutely effing brilliant! Never really liked “Stacey’s Mom” so never thought about it as anything other than a naff pop single, usually just making up the numbers on every second power pop/indie compilation release, but eyes and ears are opened (again) by an incisive and thoughtful Trash Theory rockumentary. Thanks. Again.
It's hard to do Adam (and Fountains of Wayne) justice in 30 minutes. But you did an excellent job, thank you. For those who know Fountains of Wayne for only one song, you are missing so much. One thing that didn't get mentioned here was Adam's production work with various artists. The Monkees thought so highly of him for example that he was brought in to produce their Good Times! album, marking their 50th anniversary, which was both critically acclaimed and a success in the charts.
Adam is possibly one of the best American songwriters in rock and pop. I'm so glad a video exists to show how much impact he made on modern pop music and his excellent soundtracking. He's the Danny Elfman of the 00s and I mean that in the best possible way. Hey Julie and almost every song off Traffic and Weather live in my head forever. Rip Adam
One of two great writers in a great band. Anyone who bothered to listen past their biggest hit knew that FoW could not only craft songs as well as as anyone, but deliver an emotional punch to the gut than better-known bands. The Kinks is an apt comparison, and I’ll put No Better Place against anything in terms of lasting, aching melancholy.
Totally worth the happy cry fountains of Wayne is one of my favorite underrated bands and losing Adam was such a big blow so many even this fan don't know how incredibly accomplished he was God damn everybody who appreciates fantastic pop music should listen to fountains of Wayne I don't understand how their wonderfulness is missed and disregarded by so many. A genuine treasure of a band.
THANK YOU for doing this episode on such a remarkably gifted writer, doing this man's legacy justice, and in turn, putting a spotlight on a criminally under-acknowledged band. I was crying by the end of the episode. As a fan of his work AND of Fountains Of Wayne, I'm just grateful that he left behind a hell of a catalog that all of us can listen to, admire and celebrate. RIP Adam Schlesinger. Thank You, for all of what you did.
What a talented couple of guys.....I have a soft spot for anyone from Williams Collage, as my Dad was alumni class of 42! Great video and a lot of research you are incredible!
I only saw Fountains once. Last time they played in Belgium. I only knew "Welcome Interstate managers" and im glad they played A LOT from their first album. It was a véry magical concert and it broke my heart when i heard the news that mister Schlesinger passed. Thanks for the docu!
Yep, I only knew him from CEG, where one could only gape in wonder at the quality of the pastiches. So it was a shock that immediately made complete sense to learn that he was involved in the fantastic J&tP movie. What an amazing grasp he had of what guitar pop is/should be. So sad he's gone :( RIP Adam.
That Thing You Do! was one of my favorite childhood movies, so I'm shocked to only learn now that it was written by Schlesinger. Great tribute to pop songwriter who loved looking at pop in the past for inspiration.
I've always been a big They Might Be Giants fan, but I never knew Fountains of Wayne. I first heard of Adam Schlesinger when I saw Music & Lyrics and loved the whole soundtrack (including the tracks by Andrew Wyatt of Miike Snow). Thanks for this video - I hear a lot of the offbeat cleverness of TMBG in Fountains of Wayne and Schlesinger's other songs.
"Josie And The Pussycats" - despite being a poor movie - is now my all time favourite movie soundtrack (it finally toppled "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" from its long-held perch). It lead me down the rabbit holes of both Adam Schlesinger and Kay Hanley - both seriously talented artists. After checking out much of the FoW back catalogue, "Welcome Interstate Managers" was definitely their peak, but I think "Bright Future In Sales" is actually a better pop song than "Stacy's Mom". Maybe having a 4-letter word in the chorus discouraged the record company or the band from releasing it (in terms of hit potential, I think it was far better than "Mexican Wine" or "Hey Julie"). RIP Adam...
My and my two daughters (19 & 15) went to the airport to pickup my wife and my old daughter had a random playlist when "Buddha's delight" came on this led to a discussion of Adam and his songs. My girls were just amazed at his output and when I told them he passed away early from COVID-19 they were sad to hear it as they never realized how many songs o his they loved. It will started with my playing FOW in the car when they were young.
Hello Ash! This episode is truly a gift to all the subscribers! I could not appreciate enough your work while watching 👏👏👏 I was so curious where this song by Wonders came from and was so pleasantly surprised to discover it was connected with Fountains of Wayne! Definitely one of the most magnificent and outstanding, state of the art episodes on the channel, provided them all being superior!
‘Stacey’s Mom’ was the first song I heard by them and I didn’t think much of it. But quite a few years later I heard ‘Radiation Vibe’ and I was like, wow. This is so much better.
Small correction; while "...Baby One More Time" was released by Britney Spears in 1998, the Fountains of Wayne cover from Out of State Plates came out in 2005, not in 1999 like it says it 14:56.
My late Mom loved "That Thing You Do" & I loved Fountains of Wayne covering The Kinks' "Better Things" on Conan. He died on my birthday just like Marvin Gaye so I will always think of those 2 guys on that day. RIP Adam.
Tbh for me what makes Fountains of Wayne hard to get into except is the production they often used. A lot of their music is just a wall of sound of basic strumming of power chords on a dirty fender and uniform drum beats. It's like the low effort and dirtiness of punk but without the angst that fits the music. But some songs on "Welcome Insterstae Managers" is much more slickly produced, which is better for pop. Stacy's Mom, Hey Julie, and some of their other songs on the album have much more distinct sounds and sections to them and that makes them a lot more catchy. So many of their other songs all kind of sound the same and boring. It's interesting how the songs he wrote for other people did that (e.g. Just the Girl, High School Never Ends, etc) but for his own music went right back to a wall of fuzzy sound. Every song just kind of blends together. It makes sense to me why his ghost writing did better as you had other collaborators who would push the songs to be catchier and with singers who stand out more. Rest in peace Adam.
Well done. However, it's a bit tragic that you left out "Sun, Beautiful Sun" in your homage to Adam. He wrote this for the kid show Bubble Guppies and it remains easily one of the most sophisticated, yet catchy songs to ever be on TV.
Fountains of Wayne and The All-American Rejects will always remain in my memory for 1 reason and 1 reason alone - The use of Gibson Firebird guitars in videos, even if I had only recently started my journey on bass guitar 🤣
I heard a song on a commercial for the Texas Lottery and thought to myself it sounded like a Fountains of Wayne song. So after digging around a bit I discovered yes indeed, Adam had written it!
I've been an Ivy fan for a long time, listening to all their songs and researching their history. Adam really is a great songwriter, and I knew he'd had some success writing songs for hollywood films, but I didn't know the extent until sort of recently. I was so shocked when I heard he died a couple of years ago; they had his music featured on the front page of spotify to commemorate his life. Later I found out his bandmate Andy Chase wrote a song about him and put it on youtube. It's so bittersweet. They really were close. I keep seeing people comment about how much they love Apartment Life; hell yeah, my favorite album. Realistic is underrated imo. All their music is good, but I just like the 90s sounds the best. It had a more lush and rich alt feel to it. Hell, talking about it's making me want to listen right now. I think "Over" is my favorite song of theirs.
Shit, now I'm sorry I never bought any albums by this band. FYI, I used to have guys who had crushes on my mom. One guy even asked me if she was divorced.
Great video. I never really listened to them but I absolutely loved the Josie and The Pussycats songs as a kid. Pretty sure I downloaded them on napster. Would you ever do a video on Sloan? They have so much material and are criminally underrated.
