The Ting Tings - “That’s Not My Name”
The Ting Tings are absolutely huge in the UK right now. Despite being a resident of the UK, I completely missed this, probably because I go to great lengths to ignore British media. And so by the time I discovered them, their album, We Started Nothing, was already at the top of the album chart, and this track, their first single from the album, was at the top of the singles chart.
Anyway, The Tings Tings are fairly standard pop fare, with a double-coating of sugary sass. A little like Girls Aloud, if they hadn’t been the runners-up in a nationwide talent show. But this track is an easy album standout; perfect fun, infectious pop, with a chorus catchy enough that you’ll still be singing it hours later. I was, anyway.

We Are Scientists - After Hours
I was driving home from the train station yesterday and I was listening to the radio. To my surprise, they were playing great music. Yes, it was 11:30 on a Friday night and it was the “Indie” program, but still… I was in awe that there was music on the radio that wasn’t from 1998.
Naturally, I rushed into my house to look up the song that was just on. It was this one. This track is off We Are Scientist’s upcoming release, Brain Thrust Mastery. It comes out on May 13th, and you can pre-order it on iTunes. I’ll definitely be checking this album out once it is released!
