They Ain't Faking It

Admission; I think Katie White is a doll. There's something about Ting Tings music that makes me want to dance. She has a faint hint of Debby Harry influence who sang with Blondie back sometime ago. They achieved prominence on the American music scene by being part of an iPod promotion. This is a live performance and they do a great job, I think. You can read more about the Ting Tings at Wikipedia. In order to see the video you have to double click quickly since they won't let sites embed their videos. This double click will take you to youtube proper. Not much of a way to promote the band but they must have their reasons. After viewing the video just click the red 'X' and you'll return to cybersouth - beach house style.




I like them. Amongst all the profane, vulgar, violent garbage called rap that tries to pass as music this is a refreshing interlude. Yes you can use a syncopated beat and make the sing song talk melodic. That way it becomes fun! Opinions?
