There isn't too much to complain about though, I still have my family and life, so let's hear it for building character through the ups and downs in life.

I have made it through a phase that lasted two years, but now, life still sucks. Wonderboy- Tenacious D- There is a lot of humor to be seen in life.

Rusty Cage- Johnny Cage- when Life gives you s%$#, you give it right back. How Blue Can You Get- BB King- God can life suck sometimes or what? Went through some really rough times, but made it out and these songs together kinda tell that story.įelt Tip Pen- Every once in a while I get one of those days where it feels like I'l just waltzing through life.īeautiful Day- U2- Not everything has been so bad This is more of my soundtrack from over the last couple of years as opposed to my whole life. If Ya Wanna Be Bad, Ya Gotta be Good - Bryan Adams Try not to use the same artist too many times. Post your soundtrack and give a quick comment to why you picked the songs you did. If you are a musician hoping to submit music, let me be firmer about that: please read the email guidelines first.If you're life had background music and a soundtrack, which songs would be on it and why? But maybe you want to read the email guidelines first. You can email Fingertips with suggestions, observations, or witty banter. The focus here is on humans making quality music for other humans, not on trivial performative bullshit. Fingertips is not concerned with mass quantities of followers or viral sensations, and only sporadically tiptoes into the overheated world of social media. MP3s have grown less relevant culturally over the years but in the process it’s more relevant than ever to foster an environment for music curation on the internet that is humane and music-focused.
#SUMMERTIME SUBLIME MP3 SERIES#
In 2014, the Eclectic Playlist Series was introduced as an adjunct feature-a monthly streaming playlist that willfully combines music from seven or more decades of music. Check the Artist Index for a sense of what you may have missed to date. Fingertips seeks out 21st-century music with heart and spirit, grounded in one sort of rock’n’roll lineage or another but with feet planted solidly in the here and now.

Download above or via SoundCloud, which allows you to comment directly to the band, and spares me a bit of bandwidth in the process.įingertips was founded in 2003 with the express intent of scouring the internet for the best free and legal MP3s, and reviewing said songs in idiosyncratic detail. This one follows the duo’s 2011 debut Celestial Electric. “All the Love” is from the album La Musique Numérique, released in May on Park The Van Records. And let’s not overlook what is almost always overlooked in any kind of funked-up setting: the melodies, which here are wonderfully concise and well-conceived-the verse with its carefully considered intervals, the chorus with its chugging, uphill, double-time hook. Listen too to the instrumental break beginning at 2:15: you can hear the space between the bass and the drums and how the retro, space-agey synthesizer squiggles vertically down through it. And listen to how spare and disciplined the guitar riffs are! Lesson number one: when the song is written, the players don’t have to show off, they just have to show up. Unlike our ubiquitous 21st-century beats, this is first and foremost a bass-and-guitar-driven groove. The physical nature of the construction gives “All the Love” a resplendence difficult to generate digitally. These guys may construct songs while thousands of miles apart-AM is a singer/songwriter in Los Angeles, Shawn Lee a London-based multi-instrumentalist and producer-but they’re building from genuine components as their press material puts it: “The instruments are played, the vocals are sung, and the songs are written.” It’s a tough job but someone’s got to do it. But this one should stay in consideration, not only for its slinky, slidy beat, which patrols the razor’s edge between funk and disco, but for its honest, dare I say organic soundscape. Too early to nominate the Song of the Summer? Probably.
