New Raveonettes Video for "Boys Who Rape (Should All Be Destroyed)"!

Hey, everyone! You probably remember my post about The Raveonette's new album In and Out of Control being released. Now they have a brand new DIY video for one of the very good songs on the album, Boys Who Rape (Should All Be Destroyed). I really like the song, but I have to say, the video was a bit disturbing. They had these horrible photos of rape victims that totally FREAKED me out. I'm already paranoid enough! If you can't handle that kind of stuff, I suggest you just download the song on iTunes...

The Ting Tings Have Revealed the Name for Their Second Album!!!

YES, it's true! The Ting Tings have been recording their second album in a jazz-studio they rented in Berlin for the past few months, and now, its name has been unveiled. THE NAME IS...'KUNST'! Yes, I bet you're thinking--"What the hell is that?" WELL, it happens to be inspired by a German massage parlor around the corner from their studio, called 'Massage Kunst'. The word kunst is German for art. How cool is that?! Sorry for my unusual enthusiasm, I've just been waiting for this album FOREVER. Anyway, just wanted to give you a sneak peek! Well, kind of. Make sure to catch The Ting Tings as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live this Saturday on NBC at 11:30 PM. See ya!
