I mentioned this in passing the other day but felt strongly enough about it that I was compelled to jump up on the Main Stage and make my apology loud and clear.<\/p>\n

[clear throat and project]<\/em><\/p>\n

Fountains of Wayne:<\/strong> I am sorry. I am sorry that I called you one of the biggest drop offs in rock. I am sorry that I have gone out of my way to say that following your self-titled debut, you sucked hard.<\/p>\n

I was wrong and I’m sorry.<\/p>\n

It’s just that, well, I loved your first album so much and your second one, Utopia Parkway<\/em>, sucked so bad that I chucked you over the cliff. I gave up and bad mouthed you to anyone that would listen.<\/p>\n

You’d think I’d have learned my lesson by throwing XTC<\/strong> over the cliff after Nonesuch<\/em> only to come crawling back to Apple-Venus vol. 1<\/em>. <\/p>\n

But nooooooooo.<\/p>\n

I recently heard Bright Future in Sales<\/em><\/strong> on the radio and thought I’d give you another shot. You see, I wanted to keep loving you but it was just so hard after what felt like a betrayal.

Even the NFL forgave and if those tough guys are man enough to man-up, then I can too:

Oh my god you guys! Welcome Interstate Manager<\/em> is like soooooo good you guys. What was a I thinking?! How could I stay mad at you. <\/p>\n

I am sorry.<\/p>\n

Although I did just get your latest release Traffic and Weather<\/em>, and well it seems to kinda suck. But I’m not giving up on you guys. Please don’t give up on me.<\/p>\n

[wipe single tear. wince wistfully. saunter offstage.]<\/em><\/p>\n

Feel free to agree with me or better yet, make your own rock apology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
