Single Minded: The Ting Tings, Old 97s, Shearwater and More

2008-06-20 15:28:18 by J. Edward Keyes in Rolling Stone : Rock and Roll Daily

Every Tuesday Single Minded highlights new tracks hitting stores (or the Web) this week. On Fridays, come back for rarities, remixes, mash-ups and more.

The Ting Tings, “That’s Not My Name” [Kasper Bjorke Remix]
Brit sensations get spit-shined and lasered-up in this shivery electro remix.

Cody ChestnuTT, “Afrobama” [Campaign Song]
Clawing his way out of obscurity, Cody ChestnuTT goes from four-track Prince to four-track Fela Kuti with this spry little Afropop endorsement of Barack Obama. Mighty Sparrow and Coco Tea were unavailable for comment.

Various Artists, Various Mashups [Mashup]

Forget that Girl Talk album; here’s a bunch of mash-ups custom-built for floor-moving. Show me a soul unstirred by the combination of Toto and Boogie Down Productions, and I’ll show you a soul I would never want to hang out with on a Friday.

Old 97s, Several Songs [Live]
Old 97s drop by the AOL Spinner studio with a sheaf of new songs and a couple of new nuggets. Whole room melts in the face of Rhett Miller’s overpowering hotness.

Shearwater, Songs from Rook [Live]
The male gender’s answer to Kate Bush: Shearwater write tender, tremulous, mystic songs about birds and… um, well, mostly birds.
