So, I've realized that through the course of this blog, very seldom do I talk about really shitty music; traditionally, I seem to focus on providing GOOD new music for you to listen to. This eventually comes to an inherent flaw when you hit two points:
1) At some point, I'm going to find bands that even though they suck, I'll have something to say about them
2) There really is a lot of shit music out there, and I'm quickly running out of the good
Enter the Tinted Windows. This is another string of the ever popular Super Groups bringing together Taylor Hanson (Hanson), James Iha (Smashing Pumpkins, A Perfect Circle), Bun E. Carlos (Cheap Trick) and Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne). While I was worried, my immediate hope upon finding this group was maybe it would be one of those situations where the annoying artist (Hanson) actually has the capacity for good, and just needs someone rocking (Iha) to show them the way. Kind of like what John Mayer did when he hooked up with Jordan and Palladino.
Oh how I was wrong. So very, very, very wrong.
Calling the Tinted Windows 'a bucket full of assholes' would be an insult to buckets, assholes and the words 'a' and 'of' (the word 'full' and I are still not speaking, so it can go fuck its self). Part of me is still trying to gauge if this is some kind of joke. I think it is a joke, however the joke is on them. I am seeing a man who was once the guitarist for Maynard J. Keenan slop out saw-tooth-distorted power chords for a man who looks (and sounds) like a girl. Congratulations James... maybe one day your penis will forgive you and come home.
Until then, watch the video below at your own risk.
