4' 33" (1952). John Cage /ringtone/

Good Morning Silicon Valley's post about Phonezoo, a service for creating ringtones from your audio files, had a great headline:

And I made this ringtone from John Cage's "4'33" " for calls from the office

I'd rather not be near the person with the 20-second Sorcerer's Apprentice ringtone or this AC-DC one. Captain Kangaroo, Radiohead, early Pink Floyd, or Mike Oldfield might be ok, though.

And in hindsight, scrolling through a list of 1400 ringtones may not be the best use of my time. Similarly, using the phrase "ringtone" in the title of this post will surely beckon all those blog spammers...

i've been using short ride in a fast machine for months now, and it is a surprisingly good r1ngt0ne! the wood blocks draw the ear immediately, and if i miss that, the brass fanfare becoming more and more insistent never fails to catch my attention.

Thanks for checking out Phonezoo. One of the reasons for starting the website was the pain involved in getting a ringtone easily for my phone. I am glad we have been able to solve this for interested users

cheers
