...and I'm gonna treat meself to the Ting Tings album which came out today. (Which features a song called "Fruit Machine", hence the Weller reference)>
It's stupidly "now", for those that haven't heard it. She's an ex failed early noughties girl band member, he's a jobbing indie musician, whose been in a band named after a Jeff Buckley song. She's also 23ish, and wears lots of Dylan-in-64 style peaked caps. And she's blonde. Together they make an electronic tinged indie dancefloor filled, Blondie listening to Kasabian with half of Girls Aloud and Franz Ferdinand watching through a small, yet quite thick, paned piece of glass.
I kinda like it. She "kinda-speeeks-everything-and maaakkeess words laaaaast longer than they should", and lyrically it's dire at times, but it's pretty inventive pop, danged catchy, and better than the Madonna?timbo single it knocked of number one.
I thought they gave a pretty good performance on Jonny Ross last week.
