FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE "Traffic & Weather (Gold/Black Swirl Vinyl) Black Friday 2022
Not since Ray Davies has a songwriter been able to craft such sharply
observed vignettes in the space of a three-minute pop song like the late
Adam Schlesinger. And on 2007's Traffic and Weather, Fountains of
Wayne's fourth album, Schlesinger took his art to a new level, singing
short stories as varied as crushing on a DMV clerk ("Yolanda Hayes"),
celebrating the sexiness of a car not generally considered sporting ("92
Subaru"), being broke ("Strapped for Cash") and having luggage lost by
an airline ("Michael and Heather at the Baggage Claim"). And while it
lacks a radio-friendly hit like "Stacy's Mom"—it should be mentioned
that Chris Collingwood only contributed three songs to this record—there
are still earworms aplenty, particularly on "I-95," Collingwood's
"Seatbacks and Traytables," and the title tune. Finally out on vinyl,
our Real Gone release comes with a printed inner sleeve featuring lyrics
and in a gold with black swirl pressing limited to 4000 copies,
exclusive for RSD/Black Friday!Ltd Pressing New and Sealed
