It's almost here. The new album by Fountains of Wayne ' will be out in the next couple of weeks and from what I've heard so far, we have a serious contender for Power Pop album of the year! The new set of songs are filled with Fountains of Wayne's trademark stories of quirky characters and absurd modern life. Of course there are plenty of hooks and this time there are a quite a few allusions to summer fun.
In fact, it really seems like they planned this release to correspond with summer in the northern hemisphere. Looking forward to hearing the full release when it comes out. As is customary around here, I put together, bonus tracks and songs played on American TV in anticipation of the official album release. None of these tracks can be found on 'Out of State Plates' the official collection of B-sides released in 2005.
For fans of Fountains of Wayne more rockers, you'll want to listen to. Its a nice up-temp balance to the more mellow new album. Let me know if anyone has any rare tracks I'm missing!

Glad you are enjoying Don. Not much chance of becoming much more prolific. Isn't 'Places' on Out-of-State Plates? Or is this a different mix/version? This stuff is great! Can these guys do anything that is not at least entertaining?!
Can't wait for the new LP (except I will have to wait!). Thanks a lot Haber - another great comp. Shriner, you are correct. 'Places' was on Out of State Plates and should not have been included in this comp. I'll fix in a newer version sometime soon. Anonymous said. That's cool baby, you know how it is, rockin' and rollin' and what not.
Shmoopatties said. Haper - I missed out on this.any chance that you can repost the files? Matt, I checked and the files are still there.
Autopano giga serial mac. Can also sew several. Hundred or thousands of images, photos from multiple image processing applications in record time.
Just follow the links. Haper - bizarre.when I click either of the Mega UL links in your post, it takes me to an error page and says 'Unfortunately, the link you have clicked is not available. Reasons for this may include: - Invalid link, etc. Try it now Matt. Think I fixed it.
That did the trick.thank you! Is there anyway you can post this again!!!!! I been looking for these songs for a while!!!!
Any chance of these being reposted. Can you repost these tracks please? As per usual, i missed them. Ordinarily I'd be glad to oblige but the tracks behind this post have been repeatedly removed (and quickly) that I think I'm supposed to get FOW's message.
They don't want these up there. FOW are one of the most successful artists I've featured on this blog but if they don't think my blog posting is good for them, then I need to respect that.
