I’ve been doing some thinking and debating about my blog for the last little while (at least that is my excuse for not posting for quite a while) and I finally decided that I’m going to stick with just writing my ramblings.

So here is the first ramble in a while, Tinted Windows first album is out today!! I’ve been a Fountains of Wayne fan since before Welcome Interstate Managers came out and I dig Adam Schlesinger’s other band Ivy, so when he announced that he would be part of the super-group Tinted Windows, I had to check it out.

I love Power Pop! I don’t know why, maybe it was too much music exposure in the 80’s. I love a good 3 minute pop song that you can thump the beat on your steering wheel too. When I first listened to Kind of a Girl on the Tinted Windows site, I was hooked. I was completely willing to overlook that one of the brothers from Hanson was in the band. So when I checked aolmusic.com today and found that they where streaming the whole album, I was excited.

I needed something new to listen to and it is  just what I needed, good pop songs that keep me going. Is it as good as Welcome Interstate Managers or Traffic and Weather, proably not, but it is a solid power pop album and I’m happy with that.
