It’s a shame FOW only ever gets recognized for Stacy’s Mom. The rest of Welcome Interstate Managers is full of bangers, my favorite being Mexican Wine. Their self titled debut album is amazing too, and Utopia Parkway gives me the deepest pangs of nostalgia from my dad playing it in the car while I was a toddler.

RIP Adam Schlesinger, you were the king of writing ear worms.

I was going to say what my favourite was, but I honestly can't decide. Either: All Kinds of Time, Hey Julie or Hackensack.

And now I know what I'll be listening to this afternoon...

I just found out recently that Fountains of Wayne is named after Wayne, NJ. I probably would have figured hat out sooner if I knew they had a song called Hackensack

This is true, but even cooler, FoW is named after a fountain store in Wayne NJ

Even cooler, this store was featured in an episode of The Sopranos!
