iPhone Ringtones

Time for a non-Rocktober post.

I’ve made some ringtones for my iPhone, and I thought I’d share. Yes I’m infringing on some copyright with these, but I hope the BBC, Nintendo, Stephin Merritt, Apple, and the TTC will forgive me.

The Magnetic Fields – “BBC Radiophonic Workshop”
Doctor Who Theme (Christopher Eccleston era)
Doctor Who Theme (William Hartnell era)
Super Mario Bros. coin sound
The Magnetic Fields – “One April Day”
Sloan – “Cheap Champaign”
Tetris music
TTC door chime

Toronto got itself a subway, really!

My dear, and sexy friend Nicholas, posted this video to twitter. There’s a few things that strike me about this video… other than the terrible audio, because really, the sound’s horrible.

Three tokens for a quarter?!?! WTF?!?! Now it’s one token for twelve quarters!
Toronto in the ’50s seems quaint. I’m pretty sure it’s just the music, but Toronto in the ’50s does seem like some cheesy movie. Anyone have a time machine? I wanna see what it was really like? Go down to Queen Street and see what was hopping in the pubs and bars that lined Queen West. I’m sure Buddy Holly was shredding on the stage of the Horseshoe.
“Toronto got itself a subway, really!” That quote. It’s kinda cute how he says it, but the content of what he says is the reality. Toronto was as full of municipal cynicism as it is today. It’s a tradition. I think it’s a tradition that needs to end. I think it’s about time we looked with optimism at what Toronto is and, more importantly, what it can become.

Fuck you Miller, relying on outside sources to fund one of the most important infrastructures in Toronto.
Fuck you McGuinty, you know the entire province relies on the city of Toronto.
Fuck you Harper, just cuz.
CBC wants to know how French are you… in other news, la SRC ne se soucie pas comment l’anglais que vous soyez.
Smitherman wants to take the Chertien/Martin approach to governance… he might win my vote.
Surgery in Windsor, not a good idea. Is there anything that’s a good idea in Windsor?

As often as I’ve had brunch at Sneaky Dee’s, I’ve never had their Huevos Rancheros.
The Parliamentary Budget Officer takes a look at Canada and its long term financial future.
I think I need to puke…
Sharon Jones is coming to Toronto in May, but she’s playing the Sound Academy. Any other venue, and I’d be there with bells on. I absolutely refuse to visit that venue.
Most god-awful recipes I’ve ever seen. (thanks Terri)

Adam Giambrone throws in the towel.I’m iffy on this. I wouldn’t have voted for the man, because of the state of the TTC, but to have to drop out of the race because of his personal life isn’t right.
