1. Thanks for the heads-up!

I've loved their other albums, and the samples that I've listened to off of the new one sound good too.

2. Perfect Summer Driving Music!

5. And since I'm driving out to Chicago on Thursday

the suggestion was a timely one. I had to run out earlier and saw the CD, so I bought it. It was a few dollars more than buying it through iTunes, but I like physical copies, as well as the ones I rip into iTunes (at higher quality than the iTunes store offers).

6. Let me know how it is...

and Chicago is only 90 miles from my bookstore :D

10. I'll have to stop in on my next trip!

after all, I need to see that nifty, non-ka-chinging cash register of yours.

3. Fountains of Wayne Hotline...

If you like FoW, you must check out the song by Robbie Fulks called "Fountains of Wayne Hotline"

4. I live by

the place they took their name from.
Supposedly one of the artists mothers drives to work past FOW
when they were looking for a name for the band she said how about FOW???
Why? I have no idea.....
FOW is a outdoor furniture and statue store, any statue you want to put out side they have... :)
It was also featured in the Sopranos.....

9. When I was checking out colleges...

I visited William Patterson University and drove past that place...it wasn't until then that I made the mental connection with the store and the band

7. Fountains of Wayne is the shiz-nit! Two of my favorites...

Denise Lyrics

I know this girl named Denise
She makes me weak at the knees
She drives a lavender Lexus
She lives in Queens but her dad lives in Texas

(sha la la la la la la)
When she holds me
(sha la la la la la la)
I can't help myself
(sha la la la la la la)
Won't you tell me
Do you love me Denise?
Whoa-oh
Do you love me Denise?
Oh baby tell me please
(do ya do ya ah-oh do ya do ya)

I heard she used to be married
She listens to Puff Daddy
She works at Liberty Travel
She got a heart made of gravel

(sha la la la la la la)
She controls me
(sha la la la la la la)
She can't help herself
(sha la la la la la la)
Won't you tell me
Do you love me Denise?
Whoa-oh
Do you love me Denise?
Oh baby tell me please
(do ya do ya ah-oh do ya do ya)



Red Dragon Tattoo Lyrics


Monday gonna take a ride on
The N train down to Coney Island
With the money I saved
Gonna get me engraved
Drink down a lot of Basil Hayden
Get kicked out when I can't see straight and
What an island to be on
Under the neon

Red dragon tattoo
Is just about on me
I got it for you
So now do you want me?
With nothing to prove
Will you be my honey?
oh yeah
In you I confide
Red dragon tattoo
I'm fit to be dyed
Am I fit to have you?

I hear the man say you want to see the others
A mermaid and a heart that says mother
But I don't know from maritime
And I never did hard time
I brought a .38 Special CD collection
Some bactine to prevent infection
And in case I get queasy
A photo of Easy Rider

Red dragon tattoo
Is just about on me
I got it for you
So now do you want me?
With nothing to prove
Will you be my honey?
oh yeah
In you I confide
Red dragon tattoo
I'm fit to be dyed
Am I fit to have you?

Now will you stop pretending I've never been born
Now I look a little more like that guy from KorN
If you came a little bit closer
You'd see it isn't painted on
Oh no no no

Red dragon tattoo
Is just about on me
I got it for you
So now do you want me?
With nothing to prove
Will you be my honey?
oh yeah
In you I confide
Red dragon tattoo
I'm fit to be dyed
Am I fit to have you?

In you I confide
Red dragon tattoo
I'm fit to be dyed
Am I fit to have you?

12. Two of my faves, too

Especially the line, "Now I look a little more like that guy from KoRN." Here's another favorite:

Leave the Biker

Seems the further from town I go
The more I hate this place
He’s got leather and big tattoos
And big scars all over his face

And I wonder if he ever has cried
Cause he couldn’t get a date for the prom

He’s got his arms around every man’s dream
And crumbs in his beard from the seafood special
Oh can’t you see my world is falling apart
Baby please leave the biker
Leave the biker, break his heart
Baby please leave the biker
Leave the biker, break his heart

Now his friend leans over and says
Looks like we got us a fag
I wonder if that guy’s read one word
That wasn’t in a porno mag

And I wonder if he ever has cried
Cause his kitten got run over and died

He’s got his arms around every man’s dream
And crumbs in his beard from the seafood special
Oh can’t you see my world is falling apart
Baby please leave the biker
Leave the biker, break his heart
Baby please leave the biker
Leave the biker, break his heart

And I wonder if he ever has cried
Cause he couldn’t get a date for the prom

He’s got his arms around every man’s dream
He crumbs in his beard from the seafood special
Oh can’t you see my world is falling apart
Baby please leave the biker
Leave the biker, break his heart
Baby please leave the biker
Leave the biker, break his heart

8. I have a friend named Stacey who has always been plagued by people telling her she has a hot mom, ha

She hated Fountains Of Wayne.

I was thoroughly amused by it.

Rachel Hunter appreciation thread.

She is certainly a MILF.
