Are you wonderful people still
out there!? I haven't seen a single comment since I got back, and the
hits have been down a good a bit. Come back to me, my dear readers.
We can have all kinds of fun. I promise. OK, with that bit of
frazzle out of the way, I can get on with sharing a spectacular new track
from Crooked Fingers. Personally, I've never really taken the time to
thoroughly explore anything outside of the singles that I've come across in
regards to this part of Eric Bachmann's work, but I think I've finally
arrived at a point in my life that has me ready to get it together.
So, feel free to recommend where to start while I wait for
Forfeit/Fortune to fall ever so gracefully into my hands on October 7.
Enjoy.

Fingers - Phony Revolutions:
Even though my knowledge of this group (aside from Bachmann,
the stellar lineup also consists of Neko Case, the Silver
Jew's Brian Kotzur and Tom Hagerman of Devotchka) isn't that
extensive, I still was not prepared to be treated to three
of the most delightful and refreshing minutes of 2008.
You have to hear this immediately. Be warned though,
it may cause your body to move in ways that you never
thought possible. Seriously.
Not only is
New Drink For An Old Drunk one of the best song titles
in the history of the world, but it's a pretty damn good
tune. Check out the moody video that was made for it.
