These fuckin Apple ads are infectious. They haven’t changed up the way they’ve marketed the iPod in like 5 years, yet everytime I see those white headphones on those colorful backgrounds, I know I’m about to see some sweet Indie-kid dance moves set to some song that I haven’t heard yet, that I’m going to love soon. Case and point:
You have no idea how badly I want to be the chick in the fedora.
The song comes courtesy of The Ting Tings, a British electro/indie-pop duo which formed in 2006. They’re about to release their debut LP (We Started Nothing) next week, and so far I’ve heard three tracks which I spend half my days dancing to in my living room.
Here’s some tracks from the LP and one remix that I’m enjoying:
The Ting Tings - Shut Up and Let Me Go
The Ting Tings - That’s Not My Name
The Ting Tings - Great DJ (Calvin Harris Remix)
In other news: I’m going to see Lykke Li and El Perro Del Mar tomorrow. I’ll let you know how that bun tastes after I take a bite.

Comment by Daniel on 11-05-08now that we’re on the topic of songs in commercials… I’ve developed a slight obsession with “roller coaster” by major maker from the swedish berries tv spot. it makes me want to eat skip down the street and multiply :( I hate it when ads get to me.

Agreed - iPod commercials are quite possibly the smartest marketing campaign…ever.
