Dreams and Tinted Windows

Unfortunately, I have nothing cool to report on the dream-front. I've been remembering my dreams more, which is kinda awesome, but I can't control anything yet. I'm working on it. It's hard to remember that I'm dreaming and that I can control what's happening! Piece of advice: If you want to have some really trippy dreams, just read some trippy books. Man, I'm telling you. Brisingr, Enna Burning, and A Great and Terrible Beauty made for some very interesting dreams. Just think dragons, magic, attraction to someone of the opposite sex, visions, fires, floggings, and battles. Pretty weird stuff.

On a different note, did anyone know about Taylor Hanson and his new band? Yeah, the Hanson brothers are still out there. (Do not start singing "MMMBop." I swear I'll kill you.) In fact, they are working on a new album. This will make studio album #5, so shut up, Robbie Winder.

Apparently, our 'middle brother' Taylor has joined another band in addition to his duties to Hanson (and his wife and twenty babies). Crazy. The band's called called Tinted Windows and is made up of:
Taylor Hanson (lead vocals)--a member Hanson
James Iha (guitar)--one of the original members of the Smashing Pumpkins, and has also been a member of A Perfect Circle and a solo artist
Adam Schlesinger (bass)--in the bands Fountains Of Wayne and Ivy
Bun E. Carlos (drums)--the drummer of the legendary Cheap Trick, with whom he has played since the group's inception in 1974

So, basically this band is kind of a side-project for all four members, it sounds like. Interesting... I'll let you decide for yourself what you think of their sound.

Of all the Hanson's, I really wanted Zac to branch out on his own. Maybe he will. I sure hope so. A Zac band would sound a lot...different.
