The Ting Tings...

My name is 'crap'.

I preferred it the first time round.

CRAP.

My wife bought the album for a friend's daughter. She 12. That's about the right age group for this music.

Wikipedia wrote:A few months later the pair bumped into each other and after De Martino relocated to Manchester, went on to form the Portishead inspired trio Dear Eskiimo who were signed to Mercury Records - but creative differences and the management style of the record label caused them to split.

I read recently that they moaned at some length about their bad major label experience to The Stool Pigeon paper, declaring their lessons learned and a desire to keep their new Ting Tings project out of the mainstream music industry; a stance Stool Pigeon enthusiastically supported.

Colour The Stool Pigeon a bit miffed, then, to later find that at the time of the interview the Ting Tings were already negotiating their deal with Columbia Records.

Just so you know that as well as making shit music, they're arseholes as well.

Not so much the second time though.

falls short, inferior

They sound alright to me, don't really have any problem with The Ting Tings at all. I hear far worse everyday from supposedly more credible, reputable, 'authentic' musical acts.

Not worth the attention of a C/NC poll.

I hope they're dead or dying right now.
