I think I have found new friends. The Guardian has an interview with The Ting Tings and their tribulations with the music industry,in particular their difficulties to record their new album. But the duo is not ready to sell out, on the contrary, there is a persistent theme in the article,the preference of selling less records. And the following is precious:
‘They'd rather sell fewer records than appear on a certain billboard, a certain advert. They'd "rather write songs that nobody's gonna hear than write dance tracks that would fit on the radio after [house DJ]David Guetta" – and White "would rather puke on my feet" than that. They'd rather wreck this themselves.’
This Katie White is really my kind of girl! Beside the fact that his music actually makes me puke, Guetta’s reputation is still safe whatever they can say,…. because how many albums have they sold compared to the DJ?
But a little of controversy and a killer sentence like this have never hurt a career, so…
