Fountains of Wayne

Most well-known for the song “Stacy’s Mom,” a song that
really had it going on, the band’s lead singer and songwriter, Adam Schlesinger
is also responsible for the catchy-as-can-be title song for That Thing You Do,
starring Tom Hanks. Although Fountains of Wayne didn't enjoy mainstream
attention until the release of "Stacy's Mom" in 2003, the band had already
established itself as one of America's strongest power pop acts.

The
group also recorded the theme song for the Comedy Central show Crank Yankers,
and wrote songs for, and appeared as animated characters in, the VH1 cartoon
series Hey Joel with columnist Joel Stein. The show aired briefly on VH1 in
2003, but was later picked up by Teletoon in Canada. They would perform original
songs while the action was taking place, or moments before it, and the theme
song. Most recently, following a hiatus, the band has released Sky Full of
Holes, a finely crafted, maturer version of the same pop punk vibe. The New York
Times says, “Since 1996 they have been writing finely observed, neatly rhymed
character studies set to sleekly produced pop-rock.”

If you love Weezer,
Ween, the Lemonheads or the Flaming Lips, you’re going to love seeing Fountains
of Wayne on StageOne -- even if it’s not part of your 90s Nostalgia. Don’t
hesitate to grab these tickets, for a rowdy night of pop punk. While you’re at
it, get psyched for the show by heading to Amazon.com to buy Sky Full of Holes,
for an amazing low price of $5

Forgive me, I guess I don't quite see how we are 1 million over budget? What financials are youRead More referring too? The third quarter statement of account? Was last year the year the BOE returned $ to the town? Absolutely agree with you about the middle school, we need more STEM offerings. Right now high schoolers are required to show they are proficient in Microsoft Office. Many take a semester long course to help prepare for the test (seems like that time could be better spent). Other students just take the proficiency test. Seems like this can be something that can be addressed earlier than high school. Why not offer the course to 8th graders, and let them show they are proficient in Microsoft Office before they even get to high school.

It seems apparent to me as I watch children getting picked up in the morning by school buses thatRead More there is some stream lining that could be done with the school bus budget. There are at least five separate buses that pick up children in front of my hose on Jennings road each morning 4 of which are all elementary. Can all these children in a two block radius go to different schools and if they do why. all the buses are almost empty when they pick up these children. Why then potentially are we paying all this money for buses when less can be used?

For flat, easy terrain, the beach area and old post road offer the best situations. On weekendsRead More you'll find plenty of bike riders in the area so you'll have some company and there is plenty of scenery. Also, there are a couple of multi-use off-road paths located at Ash Creek (near Fairfield Metro Station) and Pine Creek.
