		FOW's Adam Schlesinger is slated to collaborate with Daily Show (and former Onion) writer David Javerbaum on songs for the new Broadway musical "Cry-Baby".
		"Adam Schlesinger, to me, is somebody who understands that no matter whether you're writing for pop, for film, for theatre or for TV, that being clever and subversive in your storytelling is important," producer Epstein told Playbill On-Line.
		Schlesinger was Oscar-nominated for Best Song for the title tune of the film, "That Thing You Do," and co-wrote the theme song for the movie, "Josie and the Pussycats." His credits also include contributions to "Crank Yankers," "Saturday Night Live," "There's Something About Mary" and more.

		Schlesinger, who lives just a few blocks away from Stratosphere with his wife and daughter, has stretched his workday to its limits lately.
		From Ivy to Fountains of Wayne is a constant about-face for Schlesinger.

		Adam Schlesinger: You don't actually have to know the place to identify with the character in the song or something, but I think actually sometimes making it more specific helps to make it more vivid for people.

	FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE - the ADAM SCHLESINGER in THE iZINE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Adam Schlesinger is remarkably cool, slightly cynical and awfully talented.
		It took time and like all songwriters worth their weight in nuances, Schlesinger has his own philosophies as to what it took to lift he and Collingwood to the level of hazy two-and-a-half minute eloquence, wit and everydayness that fills the Fountains Of Wayne's debut.
		Schlesinger would like to be back home writing more songs, one suspects, but he's really got one rule of thumb and he closes out with the simplest - and still most fundamental rule - of great pop music: "The music and melody should get you in, in the first place.

		In 1991, Schlesinger left Massachusetts for New York (effectively dissolving his musical partnership with Collingwood), and by 1993, he was taken aboard as the bass player for the indie pop trio Ivy.
		Impressed with what he heard, Schlesinger reunited with Collingwood and together they quickly proceeded to write a large batch of new songs that would become the basis for their new project, Fountains of Wayne.
		Schlesinger has also appeared on a number of recordings by other artists, in the various roles of producer, songwriter, and performer.

	Eye - That thing you don't - 04.10.97
		Schlesinger heard some of the other attempts, but he can't reveal whose, just that his submission didn't earn him enough to retire.
		Rather, Schlesinger's steadfast in his determination to be an accomplished tunesmith: "The weird thing is, for me, writing a pop song shouldn't be much different from writing a TV commercial.
		Schlesinger sees his attitude as a defence mechanism, albeit one that'll keep his career afloat long after the semi-annual pop-dash-rock revival runs its course, which, at this rate, will never happen.

		Schlesinger and Iha have already recorded two songs with the group, one written by Schlesinger and the other by America's Gerry Beckley.
		Although specifics are still being determined, the idea is for Schlesinger and Iha to contribute musically to the new album as needed.
		Schlesinger hoped to record at least a portion of the album at Stratosphere Studios in New York, which he co-owns with Iha and Ivy's Andy Chase.

	Fountains of Wayne
		Chris had grown up in the rural outskirts of Philadelphia and Adam was from Montclair, NJ (although he liked to tell everyone he was from New York, since he lived there until he was five).
		It was during this time period that Adam also submitted a song demo for an upcoming Tom Hanks film called "That Thing You Do." Much to everyone's disbelief, the song was chosen for the film, which subsequently happened to be released the same week as the FOW debut album.
		Adam had known Jody for a while, and had actually filled in on bass during one short Belltower tour in the US, before that band broke up.

		Although Schlesinger plays a slew of instruments for both bands and has a likable voice perfect for harmonizing, he has no interest in the spotlight.
		Fountains songs are credited to both Schlesinger and Collingwood, but the truth is that the men write songs separately.

		Adam Schlesinger and Chris Collingwood, the co-founders of the power-pop band, are cooped up in their publicist's car, circling city blocks in lower Manhattan.
		Schlesinger's song "That Thing You Do!", from the Tom Hanks movie of the same name, was nominated for an Oscar.
		Schlesinger ponders a question about whether the band is set to become another in a line of critically praised, criminally catchy but commercially marginalized bands, such as They Might Be Giants or Weezer, and audibly shrugs.

	Adam Schlesinger: Those Things He Do
		To sample some of Adam's rock work you need only refer to Fountains Of Wayne's self-titled debut outing of pristine power-pop, or, better yet, check them out live, where the songs take on an added rock flavor courtesy of Posies drummer Brian Young and ex-Belltower guitarist Jody Porter.
		(Adam and Fountains cohort Chris Collingwood played most of the instruments on the album -- Adam even played drums -- but live you'll find him in a solid bass/backing vocals role.) Likewise, his other band, Ivy, will be releasing its second full-length album later this year.
		Yet the main focus here is on the way that Adam's managed to branch out into many different areas of songwriting.

	Tower Records - Fountains Of Wayne - Fountains Of Wayne (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The band, from Wayne, New Jersey, is the brainchild of vocalists/multi-instrumentalists Chris Collingwood and Adam Schlesinger.
		Schlesinger was the composer of the Beatlesque title song of the film "That Thing You Do," and the songs on the band's self-titled debut (all Schlesinger/Collingwood cowrites) update that tune's amiable power-pop quite agreeably.
		The frothy pop hijinks are backed up by a keen sense of humor, as on "Leave The Biker," which finds the protagonist exhorting the object of his desire to dump her bad-boy beau in favor of his nerdish cool.

	Fly Magazine-Band/Performers Archive Article
		Long the critics' darlings for their mastery of the three-and-a-half-minute pop song, Schelsinger and co-songwriter/frontman Chris Collingwood have a knack for packing an album's worth of hooks into a single song before you even reach the first chorus.
		But while Schlesinger has certainly proven that he can recreate the feel-good jingles of his pop forefathers (as he did so deliciously for the title track of the Tom Hanks film "That Thing You Do"), he is quick to point out that Fountains of Wayne is no novelty act.
		Nerds or not, now that Fountains of Wayne have achieved that majorly overdue breakthrough single, Schlesinger and company have been able to balance their overflowing cup of acclaim with a little commercial success.

		Welcome's goofy, irreverent patois is miles away from his grandparents' classical background, but Schlesinger's turn toward rock may have actually been nudged by his late grandma Rose, who directed the Landmark Theatre for seven years in the late 1970s to early 1980s.
		Schlesinger saw his grandparents every couple weeks as a kid, but absorbed the fervor behind their accomplishments, eventually coming to think respect for the arts was a universal family value.
		Schlesinger bears songsmith duties equally with Collingwood, who he's known since their days in late-1980s group Pinnwheel at Williams College in Williamstown, Mass.

	Album Review From shEP
		Fountains of Wayne are college friends Adam Schlesinger and Chris Collingwood, emerging from under the duvet of grunge with a carrier bag of pop tunes best decribed as the anti-Nirvana.
		Chris Collingwood's vocals (with added harmonies from Schlesinger) are the de rigeur powerpop delivery, gravelly but ever-optimistic and light of touch.
		They've got the pedigree; Adam Schlesinger has already had a measure of critical success with his other band, Ivy, and he wrote the insanely catchy 'That Thing You Do' for Tom Hanks' film.

		For Adam Schlesinger and Chris Collingwood, the art has been mastered.
		Schlesinger and Collingwood, the foundation behind Fountains of Wayne (and for Schlesinger, Ivy as well), have an uncanny ability to take everyday life and create songs that are extraordinarily beautiful and quite real at the same time.
		Drummer Brian Young and bassist Schlesinger make up a tight rhythm section, and provided the perfect sonic foundation for Fountains of Wayne’s excursion through their music.
