Music worth a look from the last couple of months

Tinted Windows - Tinted Windows

A collaboration between members of Cheap Trick (Bun E.), The Smashing Pumpkins (Iha), Fountains of Wayne and Hanson. You get what it says on the packet. A collection of great hooks, harmonies and upbeat three minute singles. Guaranteed to get you into a good state of mind when battling rush hour. 8/10

Yusuf - Roadsinger

Lovely songs from a legend. Better than the acclaimed comeback record from a few years back. Beautifully produced and perfect with a nice Zinfandel. Also, if he does a full tour, be sure to go. First hand reports from the LA and London (where he was joined by U2) shows have been amazing. 7/10
