cmatthes Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 This one hit hard - always a fan of Adam’s stuff in FOW, Tinted Windows, Ivy, etc. insane talent and a nice guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveL Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 This sucks. That Thing You Do wouldn’t have been anywhere the movie without that great title track. Adam also co wrote one of my favorite Bowling For Soup songs. High School Never Ends. Not that I would know cos I went to an all boys high school. But I could imagine it was exactly like this song. Lol. Long running joke that many people thought Staceys Mom was a bowling for soup song so BFS covered it, so they could play it when people yelled for it. Rip Adam and Ill remember the fantastic, music, producing, creating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polara Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I actually loved their last album best. Great writer, and kind of an inspiration for all us office drones who loved melody and knew we could never be rock gods. The melancholy of this song is so appropriate.

hamerhead Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 That Thing You Do movie is a favorite because (I felt) it nailed the spirit of the era. The music is great. I had no idea he was involved until this morning. What a sad waste. R.I.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw one source that said he'd fought pancreatic cancer for 7 months last year. I've looked for confirmation of that but not found it. Of course I'm not a reporter or journalist so my time, interest and resources to track that down are pretty low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchee Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 RIP Adam. The guy definitely got around, and there's also sort of a CT connection. From his Wikipedia entry: "Schlesinger was also in a side project band called Tinted Windows formed by guitarist James Iha, previously of The Smashing Pumpkins and A Perfect Circle, singer Taylor Hanson of Hanson, and Bun E. Carlos of Cheap Trick, and recorded and toured with them in 2009 and 2010." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Schlesinger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack C Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 The Tinted Windows album is pretty good. Very poppy, as you would expect with that lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard of that before - do you have a source? A former co-worker/friend went to Williams with him and still kept in close touch over the years. I could check with her, as she would definitely know if something like that was true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamerhead Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 He was born on Halloween and died on April Fools Day. If a person who never listened to Fountains of Wayne before wanted to pick something up, what would you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
