Fountains Of Wayne’s Chris Collingwood Knows You Well: “Three Word Phrase”

The great Fountains Of Wayne just issued their fifth album in a career that dates back 15 years. Sky Full Of Holes (Yep Roc) was recorded by the band—vocalist/guitarist Chris Collingwood, multi-instrumentalist Adam Schlesinger, guitarist Jody Porter and drummer Brian Young—in New York City at the studio Schlesinger co-owns, and it may be the quartet’s best effort to date. Fountains Of Wayne is currently on tour, but Collingwood and Schlesinger will also be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our brand new Q&A with the dynamic duo.

Collingwood: Three Word Phrase is a web comic by a guy called Ryan Pequin, who near as I can tell is a graduate art student from Canada. I’m not normally a comics person, but Pequin’s strips aren’t comics in the traditional sense. They’re little, self-contained absurdities, full of overpondered inanities and nervous anti-heroes, and even the disgusting ones are kind of charming. It’s impossible to read one without going through the entire collection. My favorite: Murderhole.
