Fingertips The Fingertips Top 10 has been recently updated. Songs only stay there for a maximum of three months, so it's always a little different as the weeks go by. And it's an easy way to be sure you haven't missed the best stuff. Because those weeks, they do go by...

Fingertips Keep forgetting to mention but I've been contributing pretty regularly to the Contrast Podcast, which is a kind of group-sourced weekly music podcast, based around random themes each week. This has nothing to do with free & legal MP3s per se but it might be something some of you are interested in checking out.

Fingertips Featured songs this week are coming from Ravens & Chimes (NYC-based indie rock), Tahiti 80 (breezy but powerful French pop, in English), and Múm (mysterious Icelandic wonderfulness, third time on Fingertips). Reviews online tonight or tomorrow.
Fingertips Hey, not sure if I've often mentioned this here but the Fingertips Twitter stream is a good, extra source of free & legal MP3s. I link there to notable MP3s as I find them; sometimes I go on to feature them in a review on the main site, but often not. Also links there to news and observations about the digital music scene.
Fingertips Aiming for getting the reviews up on Tuesday this week; featured songs will be from Surfer Blood, Audra Mae, and Bear in Heaven. Also working on a new commentary piece, perhaps online by week's end. Stay tuned...
Fingertips After all the usual cogitation and teeth-gnashing, this week's song selections have emerged: expect reviews of MP3s from Holopaw, Slideshow Freak, and Headlights online by late today or early tomorrow. For those keeping score at home, Holopaw and Headlights have been here before; check the Master Artist List for previous reviews.

Fingertips Gods of the internet willing, I'm hoping to put three songs out there this week. May none of them disappear on me between now and tomorrow. But the plan is: MP3s from Old Canes, Rainbow Arabia, and Wiretree. Reviews online sometime on Tuesday.

So just when I was about to post the songs I discovered that the Sea of Bees song I had written up was changed--a different version was now online. And not only do I not like this different version as much, it's different in a way that invalidates my entire review. So unless I can scare up the original version I'd hear...d, there are only two songs online this week. Apologies, etc. http://www.fingertipsmusic.com/this_week

Just two this week, sorry to say.
Fingertips Okay, the belated songs for the week: groovy neo-garage rock from the Black Hollies, an engaging piece of indie-drama from Sea of Bees, and a beautiful, bracing, all but perfect tune from Cameron McGill. Not to oversell it or anything. But good stuff. Reviews online by day's end.

Songs are coming this week, honest. I was at the Future of Music Policy Summit in DC at the beginning of the week and am still catching up. Excellent event, sparking lots of ideas. And Sen. Al Franken gave a great keynote speech on net neutrality. http://www.c-span.org/Watch/Media/2009/1

Fingertips The latest Q&A is online, featuring the band Kinch (who were featured on Fingertips back in March).
Fingertips Also, for the record, the Radiohead contest is over and the one song mentioned most often as favorite? "How to Disappear Completely." Wouldn't have called that one. Excellent pick, however.
Fingertips This Week's Finds will wander online on Wednesday this week. Songs coming from Morningbell, Spider, and Sea Wolf. The first two are Fingertips returnees, for those keeping score at home. And Sea Wolf is Alex Brown Church, who sang with Sara Lov when she was featured in June. So it's kind of old home week around here or some such thing.
Fingertips Radiohead contest deadline midnight tonight (Eastern time in the U.S., that is). Follow link for contest details.
