The Magic Fingers

About Me

Over the course of 3 years, The Magic Fingers have evolved from a running gag to a music making powerhouse. The 2007 debut album, Coconut Car gave away record numbers of cd's for free to anyone who asked. The Magic Fingers consider themselves the moral authority on free music rights, and demonstrate it on a daily basis.Do you subscribe to the Magic Fingers blog? You should.
