Indie rock cellphone
The good folks of Pitchfork posted an article today about a company calling themselves the Digital Rights Agency releasing “indie” ringtones. I guess the ladies of Le Tigre aren’t the only ones with dollar signs in their eyes. The fat cash also now goes to most of Barsuk, the K Records lineup, and almost all of Kill Rock Stars. Somehow The Need’s Jolly Roger just doesn’t resonate to me in MIDI and vibrations.
Jonah Flicker says:
“Before you go buy that Hella ringtone you’ve always wanted, though, keep in mind that every single human on this planet has the physical strength necessary to crush your cell phone into a zillion pieces, if you give them a reason. We trust we’ve made ourselves clear.”
this makes me a little sad that i have a cellphone. but at least it whistles at me instead of playing ‘call the doctor.’ then i’d feel really weird.
