Brooklyn’s Chairlift and their track Bruises is featured in the new iPod Nano, the Nano Chromatic, ad. The iPod ads have boosted earlier Feist, CSS and the Ting Tings, and now it´s Chairlift´s turn. Check out Chairlift on their MySpace and watch the new iPod ad below:

One of the hottest bands at the moment is The Ting Tings from Manchester, UK. I just love their straightforward style. Check out the remixes below and download for free That’s Not My Name (LA Riots Remix) here.

Kanye West posted Shut Up And Let Me Go video by The Ting Tings on his blog today. The video to Shut Up And Let Me Go is nice, the visual concept is simple and works very well. The directors are Alex and Liane, two British artists living in Berlin. One of their recent works is Sam Sparro´s Black and Gold video.

The Ting Tings track Shut Up And Let Me Go is featured on the new iPod ad. It´s going to be a great boost for them, just like the iPod Nano ad was for Feist and iPod Touch ad for CSS . I must say the agency which chooses the tracks for iPod ads is really a star maker.

I just saw the Ting Tings perform last night and loved them! The show was compact and simple, just like their music. Nothing too much and a lot of energy. It was just the two of them on stage, Jules on the drums, Katie singing and playing the guitar. I was impressed with Katie´s Kim-Wilde-on-drugs looks and character, plus she´s a great singer.

And things are going strong with the Tings at the moment, the new iPod ad features their song Shut up and Let Me Go and Great DJ was selected single of the week on iTunes.

Here´s their new single and music video That´s Not My Name.

These songs were released some time ago, but still worth mentioning:
electronic indie, "Great DJ " by the Ting Tings

indie rock, "Kriss Kross " by the Guillemots

I found Lupe Fiasco ´s Superstar lame, but
"Go Baby " is pure hip-hop fun!
Beachy song and a huge hit, that really deserves to be no. 1 everywhere,

“American Boy” by Estelle feat. Kanye West
