This will either be a huge mess, or a slim chance of being surprisingly good.
 

my fortune cookie says "In music, one must think with his heart and feel with his brain".

Fuck!!! Not James!!! James was the best Pumpkin that wasn't bald or on crack!

No fucking way

Iha could make it work. Maybe. I'm not betting any $.

Now I feel stupid when I smile.

Weird as fuck, but there's no reason to assume it will be bad. Unless you hate pop. In which case...duh.

Haha. I have some hope for this band. I'll see after I get the album.

I think the Hansen bit is the most interesting

I'm pretty sure it will be the former.

According to Billboard.com, there's a new band that exists on earth called Tinted Windows featuring former Smashing Pumpkin James Iha, Cheap Trick drummer Bun E. Carlos, handsome Hanson brother Taylor, and Fountains of Wayne bassist Adam Schlesinger.

thats as far as i got before clicking off.......

well it will at least sound different than the weekly acid mothers temple release

IHA WILL BE ROCKING

i told ya

I heard Tom from Blink 182 is mixing the album.

See? Eventually the credit crisis affects all of us....

To be honest, Iha sounds like the weakest link here. He's the only one that will have any unjust pretensions.

The only thing I think of when i see Hanson is "Mmbop". That song makes me want to shoot myself. So hopefully he wont be doing any of that crap on here.

Yeah, but he's a singer. And he's a great singer. Iha is a songwriter/guitarist. He's only decent, and mildly interesting. I think his ability is a bit obscured by Howerdel's and Corgan's.

It's good to see Iha in a band again though. Even if he is a little plain. I kinda want to see this band get really huge just a big "Fuck You!" From James to Billy.
