I'm still a mess and you still don't care
Actually, I'm doing fine. But the song "Little Red Light" by Fountains of Wayne is great. This is a good breakup song. Here's a guy that is no longer with his significant other (no details are given), who is "still a mess," but is getting on with his life. He's distracted, hurt, lonely, but as mentioned in "Bright Future in Sales," still getting his "s--- together". He doesn't seem to be hurting less than an emo-kid (thanks for the correction Matt), but that doesn't stop him from going to work. It's a damn fine song.
you people are way late in your fountains of wayne discoveries. their first album was quite good and it came out like 6 years ago. the only people i remember liking them at covenant until now, were me, morris, em clutcher and maybe mesh, but im not too sure.
Posted by: dp at July 28, 2003 10:25 AMYeah, I was fond of "Sink to the Bottom" and "Radiation Vibe" back in the day. I probably first heard the Fountains from Morris: that little Japanese man has a way with the tunes.
As someone who does sit in an office all day and does not get any calls, I should note that it pretty much sucks.

Posted by: dp at July 28, 2003 01:30 PMI'm familar with the original FoW album, and it had a few really nice tracks on it. But I'm not listening to that one right now, I'm listening to Welcome Interstate Managers.

Posted by: mesh at July 28, 2003 03:01 PMUmm, that's really not the kind of info you should post on a public place like this. Email next time, eh?
Posted by: ryan at July 28, 2003 03:15 PMIt's a work number to my office's main desk. It's public information. And most of the secretaries have no idea who I am, or how to find me. I remain unconcerned.
