Description

Episode 111 - guitarist Jody Porter from Fountains of Wayne! This band actually has a great catalog of songs that have been featured in a lot of movies and TV shows - including How I Met Your Mother, Scrubs, Gilmore Girls and more. Of course their most well known song was “Stacy’s Mom” for which they earned a Grammy nomination. Besides Fountains of Wayne, Jody was in a band called “The Belltower” that was described as “shoe gaze rock.” He also has a solo career and a new record out called “Waterways” that’s getting great reviews and was even featured in Rolling Stone magazine. We’ll discuss all this plus why the Janet Jackson halftime show killed their career, smoking weed with Keith Richards and much more!00:00 - Intro02:17 - Little Mikey & Howard Stern 03:30 - Charleston, New York, & North Carolina 04:35 - Brian Jones Reincarnated & Rollings Stones05:25 - "Shoegazing" & The Belltower09:05 - Waterways Record & Rare Rock Records09:55 - Meeting Adam Schlesinger 11:05 - "Fountains of Wayne" Band Name Story 12:53 - Jody Joins Fountains of Wayne 14:35 - Touring with Smashing Pumpkins 16:28 - Dropped from Atlantic Records 17:10 - "Stacy' Mom" Song & Video 19:10 - "Mexican Wine" & Super Bowl Halftime Show21:55 - "Hey Julie" Song & Songwriting 23:25 - Fountains of Wayne Catalog, Vinyl & Royalties 25:23 - "Someone to Love" & "Hackensack"26:25 - Movie & TV Credits 28:12 - Multiple Appearances on Conan O'Brien 29:55 - Song with Harry Shearer (Homer Simpson) 30:55 - Hurricane Sandy Hits & Shows Cancelled 33:38 - Adam Schlesinger & Roommates 34:37 - Singing High/Low & Jeff Beck 36:35 - Best Guitarist is Jimmy Page 38:05 - "Beautiful Life" Solo Song, Woody Harrelson & Weed 40:32 - Smoking Weed with Keith Richards & Steve Jordan 43:35 - New Album "Waterways" & Show with The Iron Maidens46:28 - Adam Schlesinger & Cat "Ice Cream Head"49:08 - Song on Tik Tok 49:58 - New Album "Waterways" & Themes 52:30 - Spotify Problems 53:05 - Pet Squirrel 55:18 - The Humane Society 55:55 - Wrap Up Jody Porter Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/jodyportermusicThe Humane Society Website: https://www.humanesociety.orgChuck Shute Website:http://chuckshute.comSupport the show
