Talk:Fingertips

From This Might Be A Wiki

I believe that the Fleshed-out version of Fingertips (from They Might Be Gannets") is no longer available for free but to purchase... Am I looking at this right?

looks like they took it down as of December 3.
yes, that is true, it is now $4.00 for the whole album for download. ~krueger


[edit] 1-Track Version

For whoever's interested, you can get around the iTunes/Dial-a-Song nonsense and get a 1-track version of this song through plain ol' iTunes. Place the CD in your computer, select tracks 17-37, go to "Advanced->Join CD Tracks" in the menu, and importing the joined tracks. --Oddjob 21:46, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

WHY WOULD YOU WANT THIS?!?! -CapitalQ / @ / 22:03, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't know who WOULDN"T want this! What if you're making a playlist in itunes, or a TMBG mix CD? 21 tracks can be pretty cumbersome. Maybe I feel that way cuz I got acquainted with Apollo 18 on tape, and so I'm used to hearing the song as one uninterrupted track. --Oddjob 14:48, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I too first got Apollo 18 on tape (and actually just finally got it on CD last month!), but I love being able to put the disc on shuffle and getting little Fingertips snippets throughout the scrambled album--which, I might add, is how TMBG says the disc was designed to be played. :) (However, I can also possibly understand wanting the song all in one track for a mix disc or something like that.) ~Drew
You do understand, Oddjob, that this is pure blasphemy, do you not? You may do as you please, but be warned: God will not be so understanding when he judges you for this crime against nature. ~ magbatz 15:20, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Oh come on, TMBG have been playing it in concert as a single song for years! Oddjob

Uh . . . how do you know if they're playing it as multiple songs or not? ;) (I know, I know, I'm just kidding . . .) ~Drew
You know, you can also do it by just Downloading "Fingertips 1: Everything is Catching On Fire". --ZippZapp 01:37, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
