Fink on Idealizing Musicians

My interview with Fin Greenall (aka Fink) was very interesting; the musician had a lot to say. We talked about the business, politics, life, and music. Fink has some favorite bands; idealizing any band beyond their utility can be a slippery slope. Read the full article HERE.

Fink on DIY Recording

During my recent interview with British singer/songwriter/guitarist/DJ Fink, there was a great deal which was spoken about. So much, in fact, that I couldn't include all of Fink's comments in the body of the main interview. One important thing which Fink spoke about which captured my attention was the production values on his records...Read the full article HERE.

Fink on Session Playing and Fink's Fingers

Fink talks about his fingers. From my interview with Fink


"I recently was lucky enough to interview the uber-talented skater, DJ, producer, singer, songwriter, and guitar player Fin Greenall (aka Fink) when he was in Los Angeles for a couple shows. Fink had all sorts of interesting things to say about music, the recording industry, the recent economic crisis in Estonia, and his sister's uncanny resemblance to my own wife.

Fink is really Fin Greenall; British DJ turned folk musician and his two "mates" Guy & Tim.

Sort of Revolution Record Preview

"While recently going to the REM Tribute Concert at Carnegie Hall is always a truly blessed experience, and getting to meet Michael Stipe and Peter Buck and Mike Mills was something of a dream come true, perhaps even more valuable to this episode in my life was the experience of getting to meet a number of new musicians. Seeing the music performed live is really a visceral way for music to have a direct effect on you immediately. Fink (aka Fin Greenall) is one of these musicians who performed a solo song at Carnegie Hall..."
