I just read yesterday he was improving.

Loved Radiation Vibe, Sink to the Bottom, and Leave the Biker - way before Stacys mom - also awesome.

Fountains of "Wayne" is a reference to Wayne, NJ.

I wonder if he had any other medical issues, or if it was just coronavirus.

RIP.

That's a shame, he had a knack for the power-pop hook. Also appreciated his work with the band Ivy.

It seems to be a pattern that younger people tend to get better and then their health quickly goes south.
Awful.

is one of my all-time favorite songs written specifically for a movie.

RIP
Radiation Vibe

youtube link below. Stacy's Mom was definitely a better video and more well known, but Radiation Vibe and their whole self titled debut album was the best. Weezer-esque (similar time frame too) - in case anyone hasn't heard it before.

I definitely wore out this CD in college.
