Just on the spreadsheet, HP, Chat Pile, Party Gull and Uncleimpairedretina need to be merged if possible.

For any Fountains of Wayne interested type people, they reformed in 2025 after a 12 year break, and without founding member and songwriter Adam Schlesinger who died of covid in 2020.

Adam was also part of the indie band Ivy (I love them and have nommed them several times), alongside Andy Chase and Dominique Durand. Ivy released an album last year using demos Adam featured in and things from their back catalog as a tribute.

That's where it was ringing a bell! I think you told Mme about this earlier in the year.

Yep, I read about that. It came as a surprise, even to Andy and Dominique I think. Have you listened to that latest album?

Am I right in saying there may be enough material for another release? I seem to recall reading that.

Adam was just so prolific and talented. Such an enormous loss.

Yeah it was awful.
Yes I've listened, I bought a copy as well to support them. I like it. It's no Long Distance, but it's got some nice songs and I'm sure he would have been proud.

I don't remember that, but the more Ivy the better!!

I knew I wasn't imagining things. I often worry about my memory, but it still regularly doesn't let me down.

They ended up with enough songs for a double album, but opted to keep Traces of You to a tight 40-minute run time, with plans to release a second album from the same sessions next year. And while they initially thought there was no way they could tour again as Ivy, they’ve begun to reconsider, especially with the news that Fountains of Wayne are back on the road.

[WAbulldog]

So the theme is 100% Jazz?

 

[Hydatina Physis]

I believe plonk mentioned "jazzish" at one point so I'd say 50% Jazz.

Oh that's exciting if they did tour. If they ever came to Australia (which feels unlikely) I would try and see them. They would never come to Adelaide. Melbourne would have to do haha.
Look forward to an additional album as well.

It’s always both Adelaide and Perth getting the rough stick for bands touring.

This has given me an idea for a SC theme.
Will need to remember to vote if I’m going to implement my idea for a theme.
