And the drums... the drums... the drums... the drums... the drums...
So, I've fallen in love with the Ting Tings, and its two songs on YouTube. Presumably these are the singles, but do people even make singles anymore? I bought the album on iTunes, and it's not an immediate love affair. But maybe more song will sink in after repeat listens. But, for now, Great DJ and That's Not My Name.
No embedding allowed; sorry. First, does this not sound like Eddie Money's "Baby Hold On?" I guess that's a good thing, because I like it. Also, bonus points for sort of reminding me about Clor's dance moves.
Ting Tings - That's Not My Name
No embedding allowed; sorry. What does it for me, I think, is Ms. Ting's (Katie White's) great sense of vocal timing. Especially in the chorus, where she rushes the repetitive part "That's Not My Name" slightly off rhythm. That's the point - it's natural - those who are irritated are likely to rush their comments.
Anyway, I haven't written here in forever ages, so my musical criticism skills are a bit rusty. So I'm just saying I like these two songs. What say you?
