New(?) Ting Tings Video: “That’s Not My Name”
Even though “That’s Not My Name” came on the Ting Ting’s debut We Started Nothing earlier this year, and even though they already made a video for said single, they for some reason made a new, flashier clip.

I used to think that all punk rock would sound like NOFX and every band before 1980 was Led… Continue reading The ability to reinvent yourself.
