Ain’t No Ting (Tings)

By

May 15, 2008

Ain’t No Ting (Tings) We’re not going to lie. We didn’t uncover the Ting Tings on a chance blog encounter, or in a grimy U.K. club. It’s quite the opposite, actually. Our first time hearing them was on an iPod commercial—after we read an article on Yahoo! But that doesn’t make their songs any less catchy or us any less hip. The band’s U.K. singles include "Great DJ" and "That’s Not My Name," but leave it up to the coolhunters at Apple to choose one of their lesser known tracks, "Shut Up And Let Me Go" to be the song that gets you to buy an iPod, or make you feel pretty great that you already own one.

This Week’s Obsession: Nike + iPod

This week's obsession is, hands down (or should I say, feet down?), the Nike+ iPod running partner. No, it's not tall, dark, and handsome. And it won't massage your barking dogs post-run, but it will provide you with unconditional support, up-to-date statistics, and a constant flow of motivational music. Simply stick the chip in your Nike+ running sneakers, pop on the iPod, and hit the road. The Nike+ gives you goals based on time, distance, and calories. And, as you run, it gives you periodic progress reports. My favorite part is what's known as the "power song," a track you choose prior to your workout that gives you that extra burst of motivation the last mile usually requires.
