Watched 50 First Dates w/ my kid the other day and was reminded that Nick produced the soundtrack, which was covers of '80s songs. Also 311 did a cool Cure cover. Cover man!
We are actually independent now. But we need ad money now more than ever or this site will cease to exist. The vids are silent unless you unmute, but I know the UX still sorta sucks -- hopefully we will be able to get rid of them eventually.
I was busy today so no one will see this comment now but...
I like this song, and i love Juliana Hatfield’s cover, which I listen to regularly.
Be safe everyone!
Re-listening now and that first FoW album was pretty good, too.

Some of you may remember this Flamingoes album came out a few weeks earlier. Was pretty funny at the time though I'm sure FoW weren't thrilled.

I remember The Nines.
Always loved FoW and Ivy. If anyone doesn't know Ivy's 'Apartment Life,' check it out.
Listening to "Hey Julie" right now. Such a great album. Wasn't really into "Stacy's Mom" though 'cause that's my sister's name. 😆
R.I.P. to one of the greats.

This piece was already too long 😂 but yeah MySpace definitely was a launching pad for so many acts we covered on this site back in the day. Some (Cold War Kids!) are even still around.
(Also FWIW we tried to chat with MySpace Tom for this but he was not willing!)
