A couple of new tracks here, while the rest are remixes that I thought were dope or interesting enough to post up on the site. First up is Diddy, okay so by now you’ve probably heard T.I.’s “Swagger Like Us”, well, Diddy took it a step further and did a track called “Swagger Like Puff”. The thing is the brotha comes off hard on this track, opening the track up by saying “Ayo P gimme my gun”. Huh, Diddy, I know you were cleared of gun charges, but not a good look to bring in a line like that. Next is Lady Gaga, all I’ve heard about this girl is that she’s huge in Canada, #1 hit, knocked off Katy Perry’s joint, please don’t judge our country based on the music charts. Anyways she shows love to Canada by enlisting Kardinal Offishall to spice the track up and I have to say I quite like it, definitely can say my homegirl Moore would love this track too. Via Missing Toof are two electro tracks, first being Heartsrevolution with their thumping track “Switchblade” and next is a remix of The Ting Tings “Shut Up and Let Me Go” remixed by LAZRtag, about 20 - 25 seconds into the track I was sold.

New video from The Ting Tings called “Shut Up and Let Me Go”. This song has been catching some steam in Canada due to it’s usage in a commercial. The idea behind the whole video seems to be some sort of vortex as band mates Katie White and Jules De Martino cup their hands and encircle their arms to form shapes that serve as transition points for the video to get zoom into and onto the next scene. Their album We Started Nothing is availble now in stores. Video was directed by Alex & Liane, their previous works include videos for Sam Sparro, Mika, Bloc Party and Scissor Sisters to name a few.
Some random tunes for all you peoples on this Thursday. The “Shut up, American Boy” track is from The Hood Internet and the MGMT track is from Missing Toof’s site. Support those dudes as they both always put out some good tunes.

Well Apple has done it again by releasing a commercial with an infectious song. What caught my ear initially though was the girls vocals on this song. It sounded mad mad familar and thus ensued the drive to find out who the hell it is. Well the reason why I recognized the vocals was because days earlier I had saw the video for “Great DJ” by The Ting Tings.
So who are The Ting Tings? Well according to Wikipedia:
The Ting Tings are an English indie-pop band, consisting of two members: Jules De Martino (drums, vocals) and Katie White (vocals, guitar, bass drum),originally from Leigh. They formed in 2006 while based at Islington Mill, Salford. They have released 3 singles on their current label Columbia Records and the single ‘That’s Not My Name’ which charted straight at Number 1 in the UK Singles Chart on May 18 2008. The album We Started Nothing was released in Europe May 19th, 2008.
To hear the full version of the song above for the Apple commercial, which is called “Shut up and Let Me Go”, hit the jump. The video for “Great DJ” is also available after the jump.
