There is Ting Ting, the poster girl for the card game \u201cShadowfist\u201d.  Despite those notable tings, today we are going to talk about the new album from The Ting Tings, that I recently purchased as part of my summer music buying madness.<\/p>\n<p>Do you miss the ladies of 80\u2019s new wave?  Good news, their spirit is alive and well in The Tings Tings CD \u201cWe Started Nothing\u201d.  Their lead singer has a style that reminds me of The Waitresses (\u201cI Know What Boys Like\u201d).  It\u2019s not quite singing, but it\u2019s not quite rapping, it\u2019s like talking\u2026.with style.  I\u2019m so cool that I don\u2019t even need to sing.  If you\u2019re looking for deep lyrical complexity, or levels of emotional resonance, skip this album.  But, if you\u2019re like me, and missed that slightly edgy pop\/rock that only the way too hip ladies of the 80\u2019s could generate, then you must buy this disc now!<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to My Space TV you can check out their first single \u201cShut Up and Let Me Go\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/vids.myspace.com\/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&#038;videoid=36271687\">The Ting Tings &#8211; Shut Up And Let Me Go<\/a><br \/><object width=\"425px\" height=\"360px\" ><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"\/><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/mediaservices.myspace.com\/services\/media\/embed.aspx\/m=36271687,t=1,mt=video\"\/><embed src=\"http:\/\/mediaservices.myspace.com\/services\/media\/embed.aspx\/m=36271687,t=1,mt=video\" width=\"425\" height=\"360\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are Tings, which are a cheese puff-like treat that all the kids I know seem to love.
