One Man is the perfect song for this time of night (it is about 2:00 am here). It is slow, yet it will keep you awake. The song has a very pleasant sound; there is no distortion, or indie screaming. The Eulogies are an extremely new band, who will release their first album September 11th. I don't really know what it is about that day ( Kanye , and 50 were both going to have a release battle, but 50 dropped out), but there are a ton of releases. Maybe it's because the date is so memorable. Ooh, [...]

From time to time, I get so bogged down with links to mp3s that I just need to throw a whole bunch at you in one swoop. And so, here's a healthy handful of songs I can give thumbs up to that hopefully you'll enjoy too. Not really a huge Devendra Banhart fan. The guy scares me a little bit, and his music can be a little too "out there" for me at times. "Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon" is the name of the new album coming out September 25th. This song, "Seahorse" is the best Devendra Banhart [...]
Reaction to "The future (or not) of the album" A discerning few of you may have noticed over time that Fingertips does not offer "comments" sections in any way, shape, or form. To explain that particular quirk would probably take its own "Commentary" essay (and watch out, I'm thinking of writing it); suffice it to say that I am very interested in what people have to say, but I'm not interested in publishing quickie reactions from random visitors--which often turn into their own conversations--on an equal footing with carefully thought-out essays. Just because 99% of all [...]
Það hljómar kannski furðulega en nú þegar ég er mættur aftur til vinnu gefst mér loksins tími til að hlusta almennilega á tónlist aftur. Ég sit við tölvu allan daginn og hanna heimasíður og gefst mér því nægur tími til að sinna þessu áhugamáli mínu. Algert draumadjobb finnst mér. Hér eru nokkur nýleg lög sem verið hafa í spilun hjá mér undanfarið: [MP3] Bring Back The Guns - In Piles/On Files [MP3] The Real Tuesday Weld - Last Words [MP3] Portugal.The Man - Shades [...]
This band wasn't originally a trio. Eulogies started out with Peter Walker. Don't ask me which one he is in the picture, but I'll guess the guy in the center. If I'm wrong, I squarely blame their publicist, tour manager,...

Eulogies was formed cruising along the roads of America in a late-model maroon Dodge van. On that tour, Peter Walker (then a solo artist) fused together with his backing musicians over the course of 30 shows in 40 days. They became a band in any one of a hundred truck stops, dozens of late nights in motel rooms, in between telephone busy signals and botched driving directions, at sound checks and in dressing rooms. Upon returning to Los Angeles, the trio hit the studio with co-producer Hrishikesh Hirway (The One AM Radio) and with mixing handled by John Goodmanson [...]

Eulogies . The name alone is enough to get me interested in listening to this band. Who hasn't spent some time reading through the eulogy section of their local newspaper? Taking in the final statement about lives nearby which have too recently come to an end... Morbid? Sometimes I can be. I just have to imagine that a band that decides to go with the name Eulogies probably has at least a thing or two up their sleeve that'll interest me and catch my ear, right? Peter Walker talks a bit about the [...]

Mercy (edit)-Sleeping States "One Man"-The Eulogies

Marcy Adzich - Large Surface Area (2006) Press kits and promotional emails are usually formulaic, hyperbolic, and meaningfully barren. But sometimes the paperwork is a fittingly ironic and subtle vehicle for art. In such a vehicle, on tour and one flat-tire shy of a good story, I found this description. It's about the band Eulogies and even more about the process of accidentally starting a band. "They became a band in any [...]
