i'm just sort of relieved it's a girl and a guy and not the usual bunch of nobheads. i think they are generally 'a bit crap', i can't muster feelings stronger than that. glasvegas and other more 'conventional' bands seem far worse.

one good thing about them is that they're from manchester BUT don't shout about this much - hopefully we'll get more manc bands that don't set themselves out as part of some revered tradition of 4 miserable blokes with terrible voice and clothes. at least it's a different kind of meh, for me.

They stand out more than the four-blokes Glasvegas/MGMT/whoever rabble, so annoy me more; plus, there is the unfortunate matter of people I know - people within this very circle! - being pro-Ting Tings, while I can't say I know anyone who gives a toss about Glasvegas at all.

With Glasvegas it's simply a "price of keeping Alan McGee bands at bay is eternal vigilance" kind of thing.

I might switch The View vote though to the Ting Tings, having read your all too convincing summary.

MGMT I believe is two blokes not four. They use those newfangled computer things for the other two.

No, switch your Katy vote, so Scouting For Girls can win!
