As a hardcore fan, I'm starting to really get into this record.. I'm also familiar with Fountains of Wayne ~ the song featured here in this blog truly has 66' Monkees sound. On a foot note it's heartwarming to read Ben Gibbards qoute regarding writing a song for the Monkees..

This has the potential to be a great album so I hope they make good song choices....the only downside is that I still can't get over the awful album cover. I think it's the most tasteless album cover they've ever done--whereas Pisces and Justus were both tasteful and done with some sense of artistry (especially Pisces), this feels like it's an amateurish, very poor imitation of a cross between those two with a dash of the Birds/Bees knick-knackish feel, plus subtract any sense of artistry. Honestly, I think they could have gotten a free cover donation from a number of their artistic fans that would have been a thousand times better. And seriously, who was drawing outfits and such on their school notebooks!? The concept doesn't even work. As Mike sang though, "you can't judge a book by looking at its cover!"
