The Ting Tings are, inexplicably, the darlings of 2008. Sure you can vouch for Ladyhawke, MGMT, Santogold, or hell, even throw Kanye in there, but the duo from Salford, UK, have created an album and continual singles that boys, girls, animals and iPod commercial silhouettes can all equally get down to.


When it comes to remixes, covers and the like, there have been way too many for us to keep up with. For one, we especially are appreciative of Dizzee Rascal's efforts on his version of That's Not My Name.

Now, on the heels of a post we did yesterday on rising star Kidda, our inbox flashed "1" and with it, a great new remix of That's Not My Name by the talented lad. It's subtle enough that we don't have to call it a banger. And we dig. Especially the descending key of vocals of the "name, name, name, name..." sequence. Seems like a natural fit!

Wanna know what we're talking about? Go on and grab it for yourselves.
