"With Tim Fite, you never know what you're going to get. And that's sort of the point. Fair Ain't Fair offers more humanistic, good-humored songs than previous recordings, and expansive numbers such as "More Clothes" and opener "Roots of a Tree" reveal a man who is letting his talents breathe." (86 out of 100)
-FILTER MAGAZINE
"On Fair Ain't Fair, Tim Fite drops all devices but his yokel drawl, the result captures him turning into an old-fashioned troubadour, one fueled by big issues (the apocalypse, greed, and forgiveness), and a country/hip-hop hybrid that's never sounded catchier."
-ALTERNATIVE PRESS
"So what's the dirty joke?"
-STEREOGUM
"A lo-fi lone wolf from Brooklyn, Tim Fite is somewhere between folk and hip-hop, and with his latest album — a harsh indictment of consumerism and the American dream of selling out — he has made himself into a cultural gadfly."
-THE NEW YORK TIMES
"Over The Counter Culture is one of the best albums of the new year. . .packed with crackling beats, wicked humor and 'did he just say that?' audacity. It's the best kind of protest album: one that has the ability to laugh at itself."
-CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"How's about a little avalanche for your avarice?"
-TIM FITE
"Fite has produced the kind of brazen, self-aware political critique that harkens back to early Public Enemy and has become a rarity in contemporary hip-hop."
-THE BOSTON GLOBE
"Other people may complain about the noise, but I kind of like it."
-JEROLD YOLSKLE
"Fite's imagination as a songwriter is substantial and staggering. Deep thoughts and huge punch lines are layered so thick that every new spin is a revelation."
-ESQUIRE MAGAZINE
"Sometimes when I eat chalk my mouth tastes like paste, and sometimes when I eat paste, my mouth tastes like chalk."
-ROSA EUSTICE DELAPANCHA
"Brooklynite Fite combines every genre known to man"
-VILLAGE VOICE
"Tim Fite is feeble minded, reckless, and never puts the cap on the goddamn ether."
-THE GENTLEMAN WITH ITCHY LEGS
I’ve been a music journalist for more than 10 years. Over the years, many artists and managers have asked me what the best way to break into the European music market is.
Here are some things you can do:
Publish artist press releases, news, and tour dates to the CountryHome Forum on MySpace, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , CountryHome Forum is part of CountryHome, http://www.CountryHome.de , Germany's Premier Country Music Online Magazine. Everything you publish to the CountryHome Forum will be published in my weekly Newsletter which has over 80,000 readers.
Send me CDs and DVDs for review and set up an artist interview with me. All reviews and interviews will be submitted to the magazines I'm writing for. More information for which magazines I'm writing can be found at http://www.MySpace.com/ChristianLamitschka
Upload artist videos to http://www.MyVideo.de and http://www.ClipFish.de . Both websites are like http://www.YouTube.com and uploading videos is free. The websites are completely in German. If you don’t speak German and need assistance, I will help you open an account and upload a video for 25 Euro. Each additional video upload for the same artist name and at the same video website is 10 Euro.
If you have more questions about the European music market or about any of the information I send to you today, please contact me at Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de too.

Dear Tim Fite, A bunch of friends and I were planning on going to DC last night to see you for (some of) our third time. But unfortunately there was a tragedy back at home which prevented us from going. SO please come back to the area soon.

Such a shame that your page has become a dumping ground for bands trying to plug their act. Well, the true fans are all dying to hear 'watch your mouth'
I absolutely loved 'a change of heart' it shows that your not just an excentric performer... your just as human as the rest of us Tim.
