well , a blog on the ny times website about healthy living, recently asked jonny bowden, author of the 150 healthiest foods on earth , to name the 11 best foods easily found in grocery stores that most people either aren't eating or aren't eating enough of. after what's traditionally something of a gluttonous, bbq-smoked holiday weekend, we thought that list should be passed along, complete with commentary and instructions on how to best administer, with all due haste. now, off to the grocery with you(s). Beets: [...]

This track can be found on Fink's 2007 release title, "Distance and Time". Minimal elements give this track a very personal and emotionally driven sound. You can hear the heartache and yearning of a lost or possibly missed Love. Bio from Last.fm : Fink, AKA Fin Greenall, is a singer-songwriter, producer and DJ from Brighton, England. It is also the name given to the touring trio fronted by Greenall himself, completed by Guy Whittaker (bass) and Tim Thornton (drums). Fink's recording career began with Ninja [...]
ich vergesse es regelmäßig wieder, aber eigentlich ist mein lieblingsvideo, oder sagen wir vorsichtigerweise lieber: eines meiner drei lieblingsvideos (denn man darf bei sowas nie street spirit vergessen und wenn man das schon vergessen hat, dann hat man sicherlich noch was anderes vergessen) i started a joke in der version von faith no more. wenn ich mich nicht täusche, fällt das auch in die zeit des cake videos , zb. es gibt noch eine längere fassung, da hört man die darsteller auch sprechen, aber ich finde diese besser, weil ich sie zuerst gesehen habe.

art by jaut, photo by tena "you're about as useful as a homeroom teacher". i don't know why i thought about that line, or what it's supposed to mean, but i thought i would share it with you. since my workload has been barely a simmer as of late, i've had a chance to catchup on the 100's of movies and books that are taking up space on my walls and on countless lists. some highlights are pedro almodovar's talk to her which plays with gender roles as well as the [...]

Hailing from Brighton, England, Fin Greenall (aka Fink) writes delicate electro-folk tunes for a post-Postal Service world. His music is generally more subdued, and sounds more electronic in the sense that there are good deal of downtempo beats and rhythms here. But both the instruments and the vocals seem more fitting for some soundtrack on a classic Americana desert plain, with two gunslingers caught in a moment with their weapons drawn. Hold that moment, and observe the various tensions in Fink's sophomore release Distance and Time . In some ways, the album seems distant [...]

I got a message from Johnny Love over at GUNS'n'BOMBS the other day. He was talking about being in Chicago either this weekend or next. I tried to get further details, but didn't hear back from him. After searching around a bit, I found out courtesy of Sleazy V what the deal is. They'll be playing at The Dick House (...haha) right south of the Pink Line, go figure. It's at 2501 W.25th (Map Here) . Here's a little preview. See ya there. Guns'N'Bombs - Nothing Is Getting Us [...]
I heard this on Colin Murray's Radio 1 show last night. A singer songwriter track with pleasant echoes of the grunge era. Fink - Blueberry Pancakes ( iTunes )

I'm sure you're busy Amanda, but I'm fairly confident you knew exactly what I would write about today if you checked my last.fm page this morning. I'm also pretty sure that regardless, you're pretty excited that Fink is back in the blog , more svelte than ever. This is what I wrote about him last time: " Fink is a smooth operator. He knows the subtle art of the steady string slap. His voice is like 10000 thread count Egyptian [...]

Lately I've revisited what I thought was a long-gone obsession with Yazoo's Upstairs at Eric's album. It's generally the first LP I think to throw on the turntable when I'm doing housework. And it's as awesome as ever. Here's a little tribute: 01 Terminal Choice "Don't Go" (Yaz/Yazoo cover) 02 Blind Before Dawn "Too Pieces" (Yaz/Yazoo cover) 03 The Hi-Fives "Bad Connection" (Yaz/Yazoo cover) This [...]

Fink is a smooth operator. He knows the subtle art of the steady string slap. His voice is like 10000 thread count Egyptian cotton. He's velvet dipped in melted white chocolate. He's like Citizen Cope with less hip-hop/dub/marijuana smoke. He's got flow. He's got ebb. He has the keys the closet where you keep your slow-dancing shoes. He knows where you hide your head-nodding-hat box. Are you picking up what I'm putting down? Listen: Pretty Little Thing - "hot little thing that knows it, don't suppose it would be cool if we hung out?" [...]
10: Fink "All Cried Out" [Ninja Tune] "Biscuits for Breakfast" - recorded with his band (comprising of ex-Prankster rhythm section Guy Whittaker on bass and Tim Thornton on drums) is the... sabas.jud.as-new indie music messiah

Here are a couple of tracks I´ve bumped into lately... hope they´re appropiate for this celebration. Fink - All Cried Out Madeleine Peyroux - Don´t Wait Too Long Professor Longhair - Big Chief [...]
acoustic soul // downtempo blues Just like you wouldn't expect soul crooner Jamie Lidell on the Warp label, Fink is a peculiar addition to the Ninja Tune family. While the label is known for their dynamic electronica with hip hop and funk infused, Fink embodies the simplicity of a man sitting on a milkcrate strumming his guitar. "All Cried Out" trots at a medium pace, a steady guitar strum
