and admit whether you’ve ever had one so badass you’ve actually intentionally had someone call you so other people would hear it

I’ve never done the letting it ring thing but I’ve got ‘Dopethrone’ by Electric Wizard.

tell me that it lasts 4 minutes long pls

Ha ha ha. No, but it’s got something pretty satisfying like 40 seconds. So you get ‘The Wizard’ laughing, some scraping strings and then a lot of riffage... Kind of terrifying the first few times it went off.

This is why We Were Promised Jet Packs and every other band doing retro futurist chic at the moment simply show a lack of imagination. I’ve got a black obelisk in my pocket that plays Electric Wizard and connects me to the internet and holds my entire collection of Aphex Twin tunes. That’s loads better than a jet pack you morons. (And it’s not like jet packs don’t exist even.) I’m pretty confident in saying that an iPhone has more repeat enjoyment potential than a holiday on the moon even.

What it is pretty much every December—“Christmas Wrapping” by The Waitresses.

‘Another The Letter’ by Wire

I have Rick Ross — B.M.F. at the moment but it’s mostly ‘for show’ as I almost always have the thing on vibrate cuz I’m almost always in an environment where I can’t disturb people.

uppers.mp3

First 27 seconds of “Danger! High Voltage!” by Electric Six.

The sound of a telephone ringing.

“777–9311” is my default.

anything but vibrate and you’re a savage

i haven’t had my phone set on anything else in like 2 years cuz of always being at work or someplace where it going off would be a disturbance.

Vibrate is for living in public. Ringtones are for jamming out at home or in the car.

Wallander

Stereolab “Miss Modular” for most calls. Belle & Sebastian “Step Into My Office Baby” for calls from my manager. Frank Zappa “Camarillo Brillo” for calls from my wife.

The sound of a telephone ringing.
