The Ting Tings...
 
If you don't like them fuck off.

viewtiful_alan 07.24.2008 04:07 PM

Haha I love their album.
Its just plain old fun pop music.

MellySingsDoom 07.24.2008 04:09 PM

Me too. They be the best pop thang since Girls Aloud.

✌➬ 07.24.2008 04:09 PM

Yes, they are not creating nothing new but is just really good.

acousticrock87 07.24.2008 04:10 PM

They're good. I don't really listen to them, but I like them when they're played.

viewtiful_alan 07.24.2008 04:11 PM

I just hope they can keep it up for their next albums.
So many of these sort of bands have only one good album's worth of material in em : /

✌➬ 07.24.2008 04:12 PM

That's true, most bands are good for one album. Then they are shite(as the Euros would say).

Trasher02 07.24.2008 04:13 PM

I find them annoying

viewtiful_alan 07.24.2008 04:14 PM

Yeah its a sad truth.
I'm surprised Shut up and let me go never got really popular...

✌➬ 07.24.2008 04:15 PM

That song is amazing, me and my friends always hear it at a club.

viewtiful_alan 07.24.2008 04:16 PM

Oh I ugess I didn't think about it being played where the fucking clear chanell radio nazis dont controll what gets played....

MellySingsDoom 07.24.2008 04:18 PM

"Shut Up And Let Me go" is no 9 in the charts here at the moment - it's played on the radio loads as well. A great choice for a single.

✌➬ 07.24.2008 04:18 PM

Yeah, we also go to this indie gay bar here in L.A. they play so much good music there. That's where I heard the Tings Tings for the first time.

viewtiful_alan 07.24.2008 04:18 PM

Your from the uk though.

MellySingsDoom 07.24.2008 04:20 PM

Aye, I am indeed. The land of bad teeth and heart-attack breakfasts. The music scene is great too (me be a Londoner).

✌➬ 07.24.2008 04:21 PM

Yeah, here in the states they hardly get played. I have never heard it at the radio. Then again, I never turn on the radio.

MellySingsDoom 07.24.2008 04:25 PM

mil_pl 07.24.2008 04:27 PM

shut up & let me go, we walk, thats not my name. yeah!

Derek 07.24.2008 04:30 PM

I do not enjoy this band

Rob Instigator 07.24.2008 04:32 PM

are the Ting Ting's named after Peaches and her website/songs?

MellySingsDoom 07.24.2008 04:33 PM

Apparently they named themselves after a Mandarin Chinese percussion instrument, but then found it it is actually Japanese for "small, cute penis" Ha! (True story, they mentioned it in their Guardian interview).

EDIT - the Japanese word for penis is pronounced "Ching-Ching".

Don't do it! That's how you end up without alcohol money.

MellySingsDoom 07.25.2008 04:53 AM

*Sniffs, grabs tissue* You speak sense, acousticrock87 - thanks.
*Reads Cantanky's latest post*
*Goes STRAIGHT back to Ebay, and orders loads of noise and metal CDs to calm self down*

Cantanky - did I tell you I saw Polvo once, and quite liked them?
*runs aways from Cantanker-wrath*
*fails*

pbradley 07.25.2008 04:54 AM

at least they aren't like all the other ridiculously super melodic pop that has been popular lately. that, for one, is a plus.

MellySingsDoom 07.25.2008 04:56 AM

See, we can agree to disagree with no problems - it's all good. Cheers, matey.
*passes Cantanky a cool beer - bit early for me, but what the hell*

Cantankerous 07.25.2008 04:59 AM

MellySingsDoom 07.25.2008 05:00 AM

OK, how's about coffee with whiskey instead? *Sticks on coffee machine, hunts for bottle of Jamieson's*

Cantankerous 07.25.2008 05:03 AM

Toilet & Bowels 07.25.2008 05:15 AM

Wrong, it's Chin-Chin
Very offensive in Japanese culture.
