| Ivy - Apartment Life (1997) |
Died of C19 complications today. Dude played a big part in my musical life starting in the mid-90s. Utopia Parkway (1999) is probably about as perfect as it gets. Oh, and Ivy's Apartment Life (1997). I played the hell outta those albums, they should be taught to anyone who is considering making pop music. I'm just thinking about these ones right now, but there's so much more. Definitely worth your time to track down some other stuff. Super sad about this. RIP, man.

I Want An Alien For Christmas
Some people think Fountains of Wayne are a novelty band, and in some ways, they are. What I really like about them are their smart, catchy pop songs. They've got enough hooks to last days and days. In any case, both of these are pretty darn catchy with a healthy dose of fun. You can find the tracks on FoW's "Out-of-State Plates" compilation or on the original single (pictured) if you have the time/cash to track it down.Listen:
Fountains of Wayne > I Want An Alien For Christmas
Fountains of Wayne > The Man In The Santa Suit
