What can you say about Tinted Windows, the totally real quasi-supergroup of former Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha, Cheap Trick drummer Bun E. Carlos, Taylor the cute Hanson, and Fountains of Wayne bassist Adam Schlesinger? Their future's so bright, they gotta wear shades. "Kind of a Girl", the first song from the new foursome, is straightforward power-pop-- as if there's any other kind.What kind of a girl is she? "The kind of a girl you can't get enough of." Buzzsaw Zwan-ish guitars, vocals halfway between Billy Corgan caged-rat and Hanson mmm-pop, and before too long, it was clear as day, she was here to stay, cue raucous rock'n'roll guitar solo. All credit to these guys for pursuing new creative outlets, but what's lacking here is the "creative" part.Stream:> Tinted Windows: "Kind of a Girl"[from Tinted Windows' forthcoming debut album; due 04/21/09]

If I told you that “Drown” is the best song that the Smashing Pumpkins ever released, would that be a hot take? Or is it conventional wisdom? I don’t really know how most people think about “Drown,” but I still cannot believe how good that fucking song is. It’s the Pumpkins’ c...
