how to promote your band

You can promote your band by having Apple showcase your song (Shut Up And Let Me Go). Or you can play a song on Yo Gabba Gabba (Happy Birthday).

I heard The Ting Tings on the Apple commercial awhile ago and I thought about buying the song, but I decided I didn't like it that much. Then while watching an episode of Yo Gabba Gabba with my daughter a few days ago, a kind of catchy rendition of "Happy Birthday" came on. Who was singing this? The Ting Tings. And that's why I ended up buying "We Started Nothing" on Friday, even though that song isn't even on the cd. (But it IS on itunes, so I plan to get that one as well.)

"That's Not My Name" is the song I'm liking the best on the cd so far, but I actually didn't get to listen to the entire thing yet. I bought it at Best Buy and only listened to it as far as it took me to drive home. 

I would have bought this cd at Newbury Comics since they are sort of my local independent music store, but when I checked the prices online, Best Buy won out by two dollars.

it's not me, it's you

I bought Lily Allen's new cd (It's Not Me, It's You) the day it came out- February 10.

I listened to it over and over- which is what I did when I bought her first cd. At first, I thought it was okay and it grew on me little by little the more times I listened to it. (When I bought Alright, Still I loved it almost instantly.) The first cd is still my favorite.

My favorite songs so far are probably "Fuck You" (how can you not love a song with lyrics like "fuck you. fuck you very much.")and "The Fear".

Not that I know her personally, but from what I take away from her music, how I've seen her perform on tv, and a couple of things I've read about her.. I think Lily Allen is charming.
