Another Good Site for Finding Legal MP3s Online

I recently received the followign email from Jeremy Schlosberg:

"Just a quick note because I thought you may be interested in knowing about Fingertips, which is my personal, informed guide to free and legal MP3s on the web. There are a lot of free and legal MP3s online, all over the place, but no easy-to-use, centralized site to find them. Plus right now it seems we're mostly so caught up in the debate over illegal distribution of MP3s online that we're overlooking the fact that a lot of legitimate musicians (and record companies) actually *want* us to have some songs for free.

That said, Fingertips is decidedly idiosyncratic--a blog in spirit if not in fact, a web site that rejects the common online approach that 'more is better.' Rather, Fingertips is a discerning resource that, in its own way, harkens back to the heyday of progressive FM radio--a time when music fans could discover all kinds of marvelous music through the idiosyncratic taste and expert guidance of individual disc jockeys.

If you're interested, here's the URL (and oops, sorry, I'm on Geocities so far, but I do want to change that once I move from a no-budget to a low-budget operation): www.geocities.com/fingertips_03."

I really like Jeremy's site, but it definitely needs to be a blog, most preferably with an RSS feed for this week's finds! Jeremy, please consider temporarily moving to Blogger so that we can create an RSS feed to keep up with your thoughtful reviews, because I'm enjoying them but I'll only be able to keep up via my news aggregator.
