Remember The Ting Tings? Yeah. They once shouted “THAT’S NOT MY NAME!” and now it’s more of a case of “DOES ANYONE REMEMBER OUR NAMES?” Also, we’re right when we assume that they’re totally shagging each other, right?
Either way, apart from appearances on the terrible adverts that appear in the adbreaks of the X Factor which shows children with robot arms and penguins dancing on pensioners faces, the Ting Tings have fallen off the radar after briefly being considered as something of a festival fave.
Alas, singer Katie White has still not done a Nuts photoshoot and not thwacked a bass drum in anger in a while because she’s been making a new album. Excited? No, neither were the Ting Tings who promptly binned the whole thing because it wasn’t very good.

There is a definite trend of companies recycling their expensive adverts of yesteryear in order to save themselves a bit of cash. To be honest, there isn’t a lot we can say as a criticism of that.

Remember The Tings Tings? Those two who are probably shagging but not telling anyone about it? Those that sang “they call me Maureen, they call me dipshit, they call my Cyril, they call me galling, they called me thingy… that’s not my name!” Them? They’re coming back.
Yes indeed. The Ting Tings are bringing out a new single called ‘Hands’, on October 11th and the track has been mixed by Calvin Harris.
He’ll probably have a small breakdown about the whole thing on Twitter and then run at someone with a piece of watermelon stapled to his eyelid or something. Read More >>>
When historians look back on 2009, beyond the wars and the recessions, they’ll see that it was a good year for music.
Actually, that’s a lie. They’ll see that it was a terrible year for music. But at least it was a good year for music awards shows. So far we’ve had Kanye West breaking Taylor Swift‘s heart in front of the world at the MTV VMAs and, even better, a full-on gay kiss and Michael Jackson winning all sorts of stuff he wasn’t qualified for at the AMAs. Top that, Grammys.
What’s that? You can’t? You’re just going to nominate Beyonce, Taylor Swift and the Black Eyed Peas for everything and then slink off into the background? Oh, OK.
