Fingertips Top 10, as of right now

The Fingertips Top 10, over on the main site, is an easy way to catch up with some of the best songs that have been posted here over the last few months. I haven't blogged about it since April, and it's turned over again since then, so here you have it, as of Friday August 7th. It's something of a Scandinavian takeover, now that I think about it:

1. "What You Said" - the Decks
2. Trophy Wife" - the Winter Sounds
3. "Die Young" - the Sweet Serenades
4. "Miracle" - Sally Shapiro
5. "Goodbye" - the Argument
6. "Lalita" - the Love Language
7. "When the Devil's Loose" - A. A. Bondy
8. "Tammie" - the Dø
9. "Gold and Warm" - Bad Veins
10. "Turning Into You" - Wheels On Fire

So let's see, there are one, two, three, four Scandinavian acts in here out of ten, but I'll let you figure out which is which. The next song slated for retirement (no song can last on the current top 10 list for more than three months) is "Die Young" by the Sweet Serenades (hint: from Sweden), which will head for the archives at the end of next week.

Like everything else on Fingertips, the Top 10 is idiosyncratic and synchronicitous. No research has been harmed, never mind consulted, in the construction of this list, which is simply my way of shining an extra spotlight onto ten particularly wonderful songs at any given time. Remember, however, that Fingertips only features carefully filtered music to begin with, so you can't go wrong with any of the MP3s featured here at any time.
