Remembering US musician/songwriter Adam Schlesinger, #DOTD in 2020. As bassist for Fountains of Wayne, Adam earned US #OneHitWonder honors in 2003 when “Stacy’s Mom” spent 8 weeks on the US Top 40, peaking at #21 that November. #AdamSchlesinger #StacysMom #OneHitWondered
Ivy - Guestroom LP cover. On a green background, a key (to, I assume, a guest room), with a metal beaded chain. The black LP plays on a vintage, restored Bang & Olufsen Beogram 4000 linear-tracking turntable to the right.
Ivy - Guestroom
2015 (? - I forget) re-release of Guestroom, Ivy's 2002 album of covers. Songs from The Cure, Steely Dan, the Go-Betweens, etc.
Always bittersweet listening to them. Good album, though.

Bright Future in Sales/Fountains of Wayne bass play along by Cara. FOW is one of my fav bands I listen to them all the time, unfortunately this is the only one with an interesting bass line. Fun to play! #fountainsofwayne #adamschlesinger #brightfutureinsales #cararickbass #fow

👉 I mean, haven't we all known a few Stacy’s Moms at one time or another in our younger wolf'in around days?
Happy Birthday. Today, Oct 31, 1967 – #AdamSchlesinger, American bass player, songwriter ( #FountainsofWayne, #Ivy, and #TintedWindows ), and producer was born.

#Interestingly Adam Schlesinger had a gift for writing smart, radio-friendly power-pop… He’d already proven that with “That Thing You Do!” from the 1996 film of the same name. #FountainsofWayne #AdamSchlesinger #TomHanks #ThatThingYouDo #OneHitWondered
Adam Schlesinger and Chris Collingwood
#Interestingly "Stacy's Mom" was written by frontman/guitarist Chris Collingwood & Adam Schlesinger… although the two wrote separately, they’d agreed to credit both on all Fountains of Wayne songs. ‘They’ say that Schlesinger actually wrote “Stacy’s Mom.” #AdamSchlesinger #OneHitWondered
In The Rock 10/4/1996: ‘That Thing You Do’, Tom Hanks’ brilliant film about the rise and fall of The Oneders is released. It’s a great imagining of garage rock fame in the 60s, with a killer soundtrack. #TheWonders #TomHanks #AdamSchlesinger #RockHonorRoll
#QuickSidenote “That Thing You Do” was written by Adam Schlesinger… who earned US #OneHitWonder honors in 2003 when “Stacy’s Mom,” by Fountains of Wayne, spent 8 weeks on the US #Billboard #Top40, peaking at #21 that November. #AdamSchlesinger #OneHitWondered

#Interestingly The Click Five were an experiment in packaging… sharp suits, power-pop hooks, and a clean-cut image. They were quickly marketed as a modern update of the ‘Beatles meet boy band’ formula. It worked… at least for one song. #TheClickFive #AdamSchlesinger #OneHitWondered

#Interestingly The Click Five had chops, sure… Most of ‘em had been students at Berklee College of Music. But what they really had was power-pop’s secret weapon. “Just The Girl” was penned by Adam Schlesinger of Fountains of Wayne. #TheClickFive #AdamSchlesinger #OneHitWondered

Story in Your Eyes/Fountains of Wayne (Moody Blues) bass play along by Cara
Fountains of Wayne is one of my fav bands but they have very few songs that are interesting on bass.

One of my favorite bands, they don't have a lot of interesting songs on bass, but this one has a lot of licks!

On this day in 2005 Fountains Of Wayne released the album "Out Of State Plates". The CD was a compilation album of non-album, and previously unreleased music. Plus 2 new songs including "The Girl I Can't Forget".

Adam Schlesinger was a once-in-a-generation songwriter, a pop music galaxy brain. I recently re-discovered this link I'd saved to a tribute album compiled by his friends and admirers back in 2020. Give it a listen. It's pure love.

Five years after the tragic loss of co-leader #AdamSchlesinger, #FountainsOfWayne have returned to the stage. Last night, they played a show opening for #Weezer at Mizner Park Amphitheatre in Boca Raton with #Eve6 ’s Max Collins filling in on bass. It was their first real reunion show in 12 years.
