more about “That’s Not My Band: Ting Tings New Vi…“, posted with vodpod
Man, I love the Ting Tings. And boy, do I hate labels and director’s that clearly do not understand their artist, and try to reinvent a sure thing.
This is the new video for a year-old song “That’s Not My Name”, off of beautifully crafted and infectiously catchy “We Started Nothing”. If you don’t think you’ve heard of them, or have been living in a cave with a volleyball, they made their American debut with this little diddy:
and found fame internationally with these:
Noticing the difference? Kudos to the brilliant Columbia marketing team that invisioned The Ting Tings were best represented with Tron rejects and Busta Rhymes choreography on ecstasy. And what a grand reception MTV’s audience has given the video, which is featured on the homepage. True intelligence and thoughtful insights heard round the net:

lol i love this song and this video is cool 
and i love the ting tings. their songs always have meanings. ’shut up and let me go’ is about an x trying to get back with you. ‘thts not my name’ is about someone not remembering your name and forgetting about you.

Wow….this is horrible. Her voice is really bad and shows no talent. It just shows they will let anyone make a record in hopes for a buck. If this is as old as what other people have mentioned….they should have kept it hidden.
There are few things I still can enjoy watching MTV: reruns of Jackass, True Life tales of other people’s misery, and the MTV Movie Awards. Two of them involve the self-destructive acts of stupid people. But why the third, you may be asking?Besides for being run very well (most of the time) and have actual talent on its show, the MTV Movie Awards bring in some great musical acts.
This year, Coldplay took the stage to perform “Viva la Vida”, off their new album due to drop in June. There is something epic about the band, and it isn’t Chris Martin’s new hairstyle. They’ve always been able to build so much space in the simplest ways. I’m excited to see how Brian Eno has adapted, worked off, and even improved on this quality. Judging from the first two singles: so far, so good.
As the latest incarnation of Satan’s public access television show The Real World reaches mid-season episodes, reports that pre-production planning has begun for the next installment of drunken debauchery and mindless dramatic tifts. Their desitination: Brooklyn! The MTV Newsroom writes the soon-to-be 21st season of America’s favorite alcohol drenched pseudo-reality television show will be setting their sights on the super trendy area of Williamsburg, where trying to be cool but not trying to be cool, probably the un-coolest thing you can do.
In an announcement that has hipsters shaking in their birkenstocks, local NYC blogs have expressed their anger of MTV’s decision to shoot in their beloved Bklyn the best way they know how : hypocritical, superior-complexed sarcasm.
- “Entering its 21st season, MTV’s The Real World returns to New York for a third time…but for the first time it’s headed to an outer-borough. That’s right, the seven generic, good-looking roommates will be heading to Brooklyn.” – The Gothamist
True : they all can’t look uniquely cliche like :
- “No word yet regarding in which neighborhood the attention-seeking hopefuls will reside and manufacture identity-based conflict.” – The New York Observer
Isn’t that the reason people move to Brooklyn?
- “So, the network has decided to sally forth with yet another installment, apparently continuing the smaller-part of an already done city trend, and will dump a bunch of yokels and rubes in our trendiest and irritatingest borough.“- Gawker
OK – not exactly like the others. Though i tend to give Gawker a pass on many occasions.
Finally, a reason to support the otherwise brain numbing pain that is Jon Murray’s cash cow. Piss off the hipsters of Brooklyn so the rest of can enjoy Brooklyn without judgment. Thanks roommates, who will inevitably be the subject of future negative rantings of this blog and others.
