Traffic and Weather and Rocks and Things
Hooray, there's a new Fountains of Wayne album called Traffic and Weather coming in April! USA Today describes it as "a 14-track album of guitar-driven neo-psychedelia and retro-pop rife with intriguing characters ranging from an assassin target and department of motor vehicles clerk to a pair of lusty newscasters." That's just three songs, unless there are two separate songs about lusty newscasters, so there must be 11 more songs about other intriguing characters.
Adam Schlesinger also co-produced and co-wrote a couple of songs on the new America (yes that America) album Here & Now. They also cover songs by My Morning Jacket and Nada Surf, and anyone who's ever imagined Nada Surf's "Always Love" being sung by better singers doesn't have to imagine anymore. I'd link to an mp3 if I could find one, but I don't see any on the bloggregators. More proof that indie bloggers hate America.

That last sentence is the funniest thing I've seen all day.
Also, an April release...hmmm...I know a little girl whose birthday is in April. Is a Fountains of Wayne CD an appropriate 2nd birthday gift?
