The Ting Tings On Freezing In Berlin, Loving TLC And Making A “Playlist Album”

On loving — and playing — all types of music:

Jules: When we started to DJ, in Manchester there’s a real underground scene of what you should play, and what you shouldn’t. And we were playing Prince, “Ghostbusters”… I start DJing some beats [during our set], and I break it all down… and let off “Ghostbusters” as loud as you like and [the audience goes] f***ing nuts! We guarantee, we play in front of 50, 000 people, at LEAST 50% of that audience would never admit to having “Ghostbusters” on their iPod. And yet there they are, [chanting] “Ghostbusters”! We didn’t want to deny anything on this record.

I'm re-falling in love with the Tings Tings. I like the Katy Perry takedown too.

I've been on Team Ting Ting ever since I read about their ultra fun-sounding paint rave parties (http://www.papermag.com/arts_and_style/2009/11/pop-art.php). That story also made me look at Pink differently, since she is HUGE in Australia.

Unfortunately, I have yet to see the mass appeal of the ghostbusters theme...though I do know the tune without seeing the flick, which is pretty impressive marketing!
