One of the most talented songwriters of his generation. God, what a loss.

[@56squadron]

It is but sadly Tiara NOBODY cares and nobody knows who he is. Half the damn news stories don't even mention he was a founding member of Ivy, the best US band of the past 30 years. The loss... yeah, this is sad, but the apathy and ignorance - that's worse because we'll enjoy his music the rest of our lives - everyone else will never know. Well, he's OK. I interviewed Ivy about 15 years ago and he wasn't able to be there, and Andy told me it was because he had to go visit his grandmother. Adam was a good kid, and I am certain he is back home with Jesus now, and frankly better off than he was here. Adam.... you done well my son. Enjoy your reward.

[@adamkendallwoods6942]

@@56squadron We know though, maybe that's enough. Sending love.

[@clivealcaraz_musicculture8338]

[@kellysound]

Absolutely...thinking of all the songs he had yet to write that we'll never get to hear now. Such a loss, and such a sad way to go.

[@cremazie]

Horrible loss, I will always have fond memories

[@Mulsis]

If there was ever a song that reminded me of my youth, this is it. I wasn't a popular kid, I spent a lot of nights in my room playing video games listening to the college rock station. The fiirst time I heard this song, I was IN. I can't even explain why. The hook, the songwriting..I dunno. But I was in. I was dying to tell people how great this song was 5 years later when 'Stacy's Mom' blew up. I was totally that guy saying "They have a ton of great songs."

[@LPJack02]

RIP Adam Schlesinger (October 31, 1967 - April 1, 2020), aged 52 You will be remembered as a legend.

Radiation is essentially energy given off in varying forms. In this case it's vibes. One of the Golden rules of energy is that it never be created or destroyed, only change form. Adam's energy is still radiating and 'shining on'...

What does it mean to you

[@thedavegtoo]

Discovered FoW when I was a 16 y/o learning guitar. Played in a cover band when I went to uni and this was my FAV song to play. Just made me feel so good.

[@user-vk3zl4ro1n]

Along with Phoenix these are the most underrated and unappreciated bands ever

[@shimmeringfairydust3275]

Seriously one of the most unappreciated bands of the last 20 years. Their lyrics often evoke the Kinks (with the crazy stories) and the vocals kind of remind me of the Hollies. Regardless, Schlesinger/Collingwood write some of the best stuff out there. Absolutely phenomenal band.

[@jackjude]

The thing is everyone is going to remember him for "Stacy's Mom", but Fountains of Wayne had a hit in 1996 (seven years before Stacy's Mom) with this song.

[@tribbleorlfl]

Was going to say the same thing. This was one of my favorite songs in High School.

[@hisroyalhighness8566]

This song is 100000000x better than overplayed Stacy's Bitch mom

[@storageheater]

I'm that one who is accidentally terribly hipster, I found the 7" of this on the back seat of a bus and how could I not take it home with a cover like that. 7 years later I totally missed Stacy's Mom, no regrets

[@sillcinnamon]

That's the song that make me fall in love with the band.

[@jshelley5836]

Radiation Vibe is the shit, honestly pissed me off how everyone liked them when Stacey's mom came out!! Underrated for sure

[@JohnLee-iw1fn]

RIP Adam Schlesinger. Such an amazing songwriter.

[@danielkusner]

Schlesinger and Collingwood met at Williams College in Massachusetts. “We played albums by bands like the Replacements and R.E.M. and had long conversations about what their daily lives must be like,” Collingwood told Rolling Stone in early 2020, after Schlesinger died due to complications related to Covid-19. They reconnected in New York in the mid-Nineties and made their debut “bouncy and sloppy and full of spirit,” as Collingwood recalled. It opened with “Radiation Vibe,” power-pop perfection for a post-Nirvana world, and one of the most charming minor hits of the alt-rock era.

[@yoiamthedude]

Didn't know he died, So sad, I am from Wayne NJ like these guys. Heard some of the band worked at the store Fountains Of Wayne (Seasonal type store, Holiday and outdoor Decorations,Statues and Fountains) Always loved their music! 😟

[@SFCISME]

I heard this song on lithium for the first time in a couple decades and was like damn, how did I ever forget. Now I have probably listened to it twenty times in the last two days

This is the song Fountains of Wayne should be remembered for. I listened to this album all the time in college, so many great songs on it. RIP, Adam.

[@kristinaschmitt8298]

Just read about the loss of Adam Schlesinger and I almost can't believe it. I've listened to this CD so much throughout the years, it's great all the way through. RIP

[@christinebainbridge4098]

There are very few albums, in my opinion, that you can play all the way through and every song holds its own. This is one of them!

[@Texturas75]

I remember this song because of the riff and the chorus! Not that I love it, but hearing this after 20 years instantly takes me back to that time. Have you noticed it happens specially with lesser-known songs? Because the old "classics" are always being played in the radio and don't have that effect anymore.

[@livingabstraction2206]

[@crulove]

I remember recording this song off the radio onto cassette as an 11 year old in 1996. It was on the Top 40 chart show as this was a minor chart hit in the UK. Love the summertime vibe on this.

[@82zoso]

Haha, yes I did the same exact thing!! Live105 would play it all the time, and oh yeah - I was definitely popping a casette in the tape player and recording this, among many others. Oh, the '90s.

Some great playing with superior songwriting skills. After losing their bass player to Covid-19 in 2020 they disbanded. I wish they would continue as there is still some significant talent left. Plus it would also honor their lost bassist.

[@ZapperRS]

The bassist isn't just a bassist, he's also a keyboardist

They disbanded well before 2020. In 2013, to be precise.

IMHO, the songwriting duo of Collingwood and Schlesinger are right 'up there' with The Beatles' Lennon & McCartney ... great songs, subject matter, lyrical brilliance, outstanding melodies, and hooks ... GOD HOW I WISH I WAS IN THIS BAND! ... i used to drive past Fountains of Wayne everyday on my way to work.
