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 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 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.

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.

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 This week's free and legal MP3s will be from Wildbirds & Peacedrums (one band; two people), Los Campesinos! (the exclamation mark is their idea), and Secondstar. Reviews will be online Tuesday, perhaps by lunch on the East Coast. In the meantime, the unrelentingly curious can click on the link here and check out Los Ca...mpesinos! from the first time they were featured on Fingertips.
