how sad is this?

monday afternoon i decided to finally take some time and make me some new ringtones. i’ve got the wonderful samsung ‘blade’ phone with sprint, so i went to this sprint users site where they tell you how to take your own mp3s and turn them into ringtones, and upload them to your phone, all for free.

i’ve had the same ring (‘comin’ home’ by hum, the namesake of this site) since i got this phone maybe a year and a half ago, and i figured it was time to switch it up. so i made me a decemberists’ ‘sixteen military wives’ and a mountain goats’ ‘no children’ ring too. that was four whole days ago, and i have yet to receive a single phone call in that entire time. come on people, i want to hear some triumphant trumpets or some pounding pianos!

speaking briefly of hum, i think jessica and i are among possibly only a handful of people in the united states that recognized their song ‘stars’ was used in some recent cadillac commercials. i give her full credit; she absolutely called it a few moments before i did. another reason we’re meant to be.

and lastly, a new pay day song is well overdue, so take my advice if you haven’t already and go get the latest new pornographers album. on first listen i didn’t like it quite as much as twin cinema and felt a bit of disappointment, but it grows on me more every time. and the flute assault on all the things that go to make heaven and earth (great song, bad title) is a nice touch to one of the more energetic songs on the album that keeps getting stuck in my head.
