Surrealist Pop...or Regular Crappy Pop?

Today, we heard "the first single from Tinted Windows, the new supergroup featuring Taylor Hanson (of Hanson), James Iha (Smashing Pumpkins), Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne) and Bun E. Carlos (Cheap Trick)."

It's awful.

We don't know what to make of this, Dan and I, so we leave it up to you guys. Such an odd and eclectic group of musicians (sure, it's not Merzbow and Taylor Hanson, but what is?), it's almost a Surreal combination, right? I mean, if somebody told you all these people were in a band, you'd think that person was kidding, right? When they make boring, by rote pop music, though, does the entire project then become less Surreal?

Dan says yes, I say no. One thing this single proves, though, is that it only takes one Hanson in a band to make that band Hanson.

Anyway, here's the link.
