I'm a little disappointed with that Ting Ting thing fascination. What's the obsession? That DJ song is nothing more than a Shiny Toy Guns personification. But moving on up the chart, I am impressed like whoa with "I Will Possess Your Heart". Did you hear that whole fade out with the instruments in the beginning? Chills--straight chills down the spine.
