Bizarre but somehow appropriate: Past-their-prime power-poppers Fountains of Wayne will be at Northwestern on Oct. 4, playing a free concert at a Kellogg event. Yes, the guys that wrote “Stacy’s Mom.” Perhaps they were lured here by the fact that our marching band plays their biggest hit at every football game. More likely, they were lured by Kellogg’s enormous bags of money.

The details: The band will be playing in the evening at the Kellogg Centennial Global Arts Festival Fountain Square (supposedly on Sherman Avenue between Grove and Davis). The event is the start of Kellogg’s year-long centennial celebration.

Videos of their big hits:

“Sink to the Bottom”

“Stacy’s Mom”

“Radiation Vibe” (I’ve never heard this song, but Wikipedia tells me if was popular…)
