Song of the Day #416 - you could've been a good friend of mine

It feels like no one really paid much attention to the 2nd Ting Tings album.  Sadly, I can't really hate on that ...it's been a while since I listened to it, but it didn't leave too much of an impression...   Regardless, this one is a gem.

The Ting Tings - Day to Day

ps - maybe i'll give it another go
