Heard this song on the radio a couple of months ago, and it made me a Fountains of Wayne fan. (Before that, I'd really only heard "Stacy's Mom," which is okay too, but didn't grab me.) It only comes to mind now because, since I slept all day, I now can't fall asleep when I should, and am putting together a holiday playlist. "Valley Winter Song" has such a pretty melody! It's not a holiday song, but I'm putting it on cuz I like it so much.

I saw Fountains of Wayne in Boston a few years ago. I'm not sure why. Robbie Fulks has a funny songs called "Fountains of Wayne Hotline" that parodies their songwriting and sound. Also, Al Gore's apparently a fan. They said he was at their show in Tennessee (w/Tipper) and they made a point of using lots of profanity (for Tipper, not Al -- Al swears like a sailor. Wait, wasn't he sailor? No, a journalist. He was in Vietnam). Ironically, I was at an Al Gore speech in 2000, and Fountains of Wayne was there. No, that's not true at all. Everything else in here is, though.
