I’m a little bummed that Tim Fite doesn’t have any current west coast dates on his tour right now. Other lucky folks get him and My Brightest Diamond, all in one luscious night. I’ve started to fall (a little bit…only a little bit, I promise!) in love with him. Take a look at his website–little pen and ink sketches that make up stories, his “gunshow” which is comprised of mini movies, and, oh yeah, clever songs about bumping outside Wal-Mart. The particular clever songs that make up his second album “Over the Counter Culture” can be downloaded for free at his website. Tim has been compared a lot to Beck, but I wonder is that’s the white-dude-in-a-suit that seems so obvious. Perhaps an homage to Steve Martin? Catch me, I’m falling. Either way, it’s a compliment to both of them. And be sure to check out Tim’s kooky blogs over at his myspace. 
Tim also has a band with Danielle Stech Homsy called The Water Island. Jangalang:www.myspace.com/timfitewww.timfite.com www.myspace.com/thewaterisland
