Later I'll tweet out all the Adam Schlesinger songs I love, this is just one of many brilliant songs from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. But I feel so numb and furious right now.

Here's a Fountains of Wayne song about slow motion. This all just sucks. And another Fountains of Wayne song I love, Little Red Light. "New York to Nyack—feels like 100 miles!"

When Clive and I first met, we once took a weekend vacation and listened to nothing but Welcome Interstate Managers on repeat in the car. You could listen to his songs forever.

"Two men sit in the corner of a diner
Both of them look quite a bit like Carl Reiner
One of them is smoking even though the sign says not to
The waitress says to stop, he says "Sorry, but I've got to"
They tell each other jokes that they both know that they both know...

They talk about real estate, prostates, Costco
And when they finish up they leave a twenty on the table
The waitress picks it up with their half-eaten bagels
And when her shift is over she goes back to Mineola
Sits on the couch, opens up a diet cola and says

I'm so
I'm so sick of this place
I'm so ready for a change of pace
I'm just looking for a new routine
So she spins her globe
And the next thing you know
She's living in Liechtenstein"

"Way Back Into Love" from (the excellent and underrated romantic comedy) Music And Lyrics.

"Bitch! I know you, that tough act's a bluff/So sheket bavaka SHUTTHEFUCKUP." Jap Rap Battle (the filthier version.)

The perfect "That Thing You Do."

"Out on the highway, up in the air
Everyone else is going somewhere
They're going nowhere, and I'll be there too
I might as well go under with you"

Fountains Of Wayne: Tiny Desk Concert

It speaks well of this performance that Fountains of Wayne's set pokes around in a few gray areas; its four songs showcase a band with tremendous narrative gifts and a real flair for subtle beauty.

Adam Schlesinger and Rachel Bloom sing "We Should Definitely Not Have Sex Right Now." https://www.vanityfair.com/video/watch/rachel-bloom-and-adam-schlesinger-sing-we-should-definitely-not-have-sex-right-now-2016-11-04

From his band Fever High. "All work! No play./That's no way to live. You got to live for today..."

I'll end with one of my favorites, "Bought For A Song."
"Come on now, get your ass out of bed
You heard what the man said!
The crew is already gone—
We were all kinda high, but man, what were you on?"
