Power-pop deliciousness is on the way: Fountains of Wayne is releasing a two-disc collection of B-sides, non-album tracks, and other rarities next month. From the band’s e-mail newsletter, which was sent out yesterday:
Fountains of Wayne’s Out-of-State Plates, a specially priced two-CD collection of non-album tracks and previously unreleased songs spanning the band’s entire career, will be released in the US on June 28th. The first single, the brand new song “Maureen,” will be at radio stations in mid-May.
Here’s a tracklisting. I have copies of about a third of these tunes. A few of them are clunkers, but most of them are great. The collection will include the band’s fabulous 1999 cover of Britney Spears’s “…Baby One More Time.” It’s basically a straight cover, not an ironic takedown, and it uncovers the great pop song that Spears and her producers buried under layers of elaborate production.
Warhol, Spielberg chat. Probably high.
Kubrick’s Danube, Muppet-chicken style.
Examples of Modern Alphabets, 1864.
