This is kind of a short post, mostly I just wanted to see what you think about it. James Iha formerly of The Smashing Pumpkins is finally in another band: Tinted Windows. I just listened to their new song, Kind of a Girl, here.
Over all I would say they are musically talented for sure, but the lyrics? (to this song anyway) Not so much. It was too bubble gum for me, but that is what they were going for I guess, so they did a good job. I was hoping that it would be better, so James could feel cool too. He’s kind of like the ex-girlfriend that wants to look super hot and be all that, next time she sees her ex-boyfriend (Billy Corgan) at a party.
Prediction: Kind of A Girl, will surely end up on the soundtrack of a Disney-type tween movie.

Apparently I’m not quite done yet, I don’t think I conveyed how disappointed I was in their UNORIGINALITY of the lyrics, and also, I’m so tired of people choosing to sing about “that” kind of girl. Come on! Like thats the kind of person we want our kids thinking is super cool, how about “she’s the kind of girl who makes a loyal friend” or “she’s the kind of girl who makes me laugh with her witty jokes and intelligent humor” That would be much better in my opinion!
whoa oh whoa oh WAIT! Is their singer one of the dudes from Hanson? I wasn’t impressed by their music whatsoever.
Yep, sure is. I just checked. James Iha and Taylor Hanson are bandmates. I need to go autoclave my ear-canals now.
