It's a "legit" single that was made with their involvement; the song is off Cudi's upcoming album.

The Ting Tings - That's Not My Name.

God.

So good. I love how the whole song is a massive buildup to the counter melodies towards the end.

Re: What are your favorite current singles?

By "single" do you just mean a single songs we are diggin', not an albums? Or do you mean only songs that are played on the radio?

For instance, I'm diggin' the shit out of "Airstream Driver" by Gomez, one of my favorite songs of the year, but I have no clue if it is an actual "single".

I'm not sure it means what it used to in this age of digital downloads, but bands (or labels) still "release" individual songs as "singles," and Billboard and OCC and ARIA and all the rest still chart them.

For what it's worth, Airstream Driver is the first single off A New Tide.

Why thank you! "Help, I'm Alive" is getting the most airplay on the alternative stations. But I have the new album and let me tell you, there are 6 really smokin' tracks on there.

Sweet, didn't know that was a single. I honestly have no clue what bands I like release what singles, don't even know how to find out, & I buy a shitload of music.

Regardless of whether or not they are legit singles here are some other random songs I've been diggin the hell out of recently & cannot recommend enough . . .

Silversun Pickups - "Panic Switch"
Art Brut - "DC Comics & Chocalate Milkshakes"
Miniature Tigers - "The Wolf"
Doves - "Kingdom of Rust"
William Fitzsimmons - "I Don't Feel it Anymore (Song of the Sparrow)"
Bat For Lashes - "Danielle"
Bishop Allen - "Dimmer"
Justin Townes Earle - "Mignight At The Movies"

Re: What are your favorite current singles?

My new obsession is "Now We Can See" by the Thermals.

AndyCleveland -- I really dig Day & Age, the latest Killers album. I think Spaceman is my favorite track off that album.
