CONTACTING FINGERTIPS

Sorry to make you have to click through to one more page but I've replaced the direct-to-email links around the site with this contact page in an effort to reduce the irritating amount of spam that has resulted from having my email address spelled out here on the web site.

If you are not sending me spam, however, I am happy to hear from you. The email address is:

letterbox [] fingertipsmusic

--but you'll of course have to make it a "finished product" in your email program: that is, put the "at" sign after the first word and add the "dot com" after the second.

I read all email, and attempt to answer most of it. The more an email looks like a boiler-plate promotional note sent to a thousand places at once, the less likely I am to respond. It only makes sense. You send me a personal note, and I will respond personally. Otherwise, maybe not.

Another thing: Please do not sign me up for any mailing lists without asking me. I'm taken aback by the number of promotion-related worker bees and/or over-zealous indie musicians who seem to feel that's okay. Every time I get an email from a mailing list I've been signed up for without consent, I delete the mail without reading it and unsubscribe. So you're not really helping anything. Really.

If by the way you are a musician interested in sending a CD for review, please note a couple of things. First, Fingertips is focused very clearly on free and legal MP3s; I don't do a lot of CD reviews. When I do review a CD, it has to meet two criteria: 1) there has to be at least one free and legal MP3 available from it somewhere online (but not on MySpace!); and 2) I have to like it a lot. If you are writing to introduce me to your music, a CD is not the first best thing to send me. The best thing to send me is a link to where your free and legal MP3s are.

Note that there was a short period of time in the spring of 2008 when this address was not working. The problem has been fixed. Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.
