I have listened to the new Fountains of Wayne CD, Welcome Interstate Managers, for quite a while now. Here is my incomplete list of comparisons with other bands:
Other connections are still on the tip of my tongue; I hope my vast readership will contribute helpful suggestions. If I know Chris, such analogies will quite possibly exasperate him to no end, but he is used to being vexed by me and expects nothing less.
My favorite songs are No Better Place, All Kinds of Time, Supercollider, Bright Future in Sales, Little Red Light, and Bought for a Song.

Last night's lunar eclipse was at first largely occluded by a light cloud layer, but around 5:15 PM the skies began to clear as the moon made its exit from Earth's umbral shadow. During this phase it appeared slightly coppery (perhaps "Mars Orange" or even umber, though some form of ochre is probably more apt), and more three-dimensional than usual, especially through binoculars. Once the moon passed out of the umbra into the penumbral shadow, the eclipse took the more familiar appearance of a bright sliver gradually increasing in area as shadow pulled away, until finally a normal full moon was exposed. Terrible photographs were taken with a standard unsteady camera, one through an unsteady pair of binoculars.
Per NASA, on Saturday, Nov. 8th, "the full moon will glide through our planet's shadow and turn a delightful shade of sunset-red." The moon enters Earth's shadow at 3:32 PM Pacific time and exits at 7:04 PM. Totality (the cool part when the moon turns red) lasts from 5:06 to 5:31 PM.
