Fountains of Wayne "I Know You Well" Out-of-State Plates

Nothing to be too embarrassed about this week, although surprisingly probably my favorite cut of the lot is the Kevin Salem (there's some great guitar-pop on that disc). An I never thought of it, but that Gabriel cut and The Mekons cut are more alike than you'd think. And I know that FOW cut is mushy, but it's so damn catchy, those follow the leader chorus harmonies.

Back to the usual -- I know zero songs from that list.

Which is ridiculous since I actually own, and have listened to, Crooked Rain.

Wait, or is it Slanted and Enchanted I have? Hmmm.

The Crooked Rain cut is from the re-issue with an extra bonus disc, so you might not have it.

But you should know that Damned cut--it was the first UK 45 punk song--beat the Pistols to release and everything.
