I saw The Ting Tings on Saturday night at Concorde2. I thought they were brilliant. Someone mentioned that they were poor live, and 'that's not my name' was especially poor. I struggle to believe this as they did a lengthy version of this track and it was amazing the way they worked it and the crowd certainly liked it.

I heard the girl on Radio 1 saturday morning, she was at Newport Pagnal service station on route to that nights gig in Newcastle, she said that the Brighton gig the night before was the best yet. Definately putting in the miles Brighton one night Newcastle the next.

I'm considerably older than Mr Pav and I like them a lot, it's not an age thing, it's a snob thing, I bet Pav listens to Coldplay.

Or maybe it's just a taste thing, eh? I don't like them, I don't like Coldplay. I have a really eclectic taste in music. Doesn't mean that my opinions are any more or less valid than anyone elses, does it?

Have to agree, good little novelty song imo. No idea what their other stuff is like and no doubt overplay of this one is gonna make it fecking irritating BUT it IS a good pop song.

I'm not making a comparison of talent here but the oldies in the '50's hated Buddy Holly for allegedly making a din with that electic guitar thingy. Older people traditionally don't like modern pop music. I'm no different I want to run from the room screaming when I hear gangsta rap..

My point was simply what right has anybody got to dismiss anybody as 'crap' just because they don't like them. There's a whole load of genres I don't like and even within the ones I do there's a load of bands that will make me return my radio, Pink Floyd and Queen are but two bands I don't care for but I can hardly dismiss them because of my personal tastes.

I would say that my tastes are reasonably eclectic but I don't pretend to be the arbiter of good taste. If I hear a bit of music I like it's immaterial who or what made it, it's just something I find agreeable.

Yeah I see your point; but at the same time he was only voicing an opinion. I say a lot of things are 'crap' without putting 'in my opinion' in front of them, but that's what I mean. I don't mean to be the only judge of musical ability/good-ness.

Sorry if I was offensive earlier :down::kiss:

Oh I see, so you're trying to win the 'Most Pretentious Poster' award. I just love the way some people rave on about some artist that virtually nobody has ever heard of.

I listen of XFM in the main so does that make me cool ? Actually I just listen to that station as I prefer the music they play, no other reason. I have no idea who Pendulum are and I would hazard a guess that most people haven't. Still they must be good if you say so.

I'm not a massive fan of Pendulum but I'd assume a lot of people have heard of them to be fair.

Very good last night, in my opinion only of course.

CD (album) arrived this morning and I am looking forward to playing it over an over in the car.
