Help Me Pick A Ringtone?

turquoise70 · Post by **turquoise70** » Mon Nov 16, 2009 1:08 am

Hi Twoisms, I just got a new cell phone for the first time in 3 years and I kinda want a cool electronic music ringtone. I'm looking for something that's cool (BoC are a consideration, Aphex Twin definitely is too, possibly Autechre) and not too jarring or ridiculous or annoying, and I am curious to see what you guys think would be a good idea. Joke answers are appreciated but hopefully I can figure out a for-real one to use (all the default ringtones on this phone are irritating digital bleeps - the bad kind). It would also be cool to hear if any of you guys have cool songs for ring tones.

edit: cool cool cool by the way cool

It's not an electronic tune but an intro of a show (how I met your mother)

I would love a BoC or ANY electronica or IDM artist Ringtone... but my cell phone doesn't connect to the internet, and i don't know a good way to send them to my phone.. I tried to make ringtones and send them but it didn't work.. It's not even an old phone or anything its pretty new.. Makes me sad..

The beginning of LCC

. I always thought that'd make a cool ringtone.

i had skimming stones as my ringtone for a short while - some extremely odd looks from people! i think they must have thought my mobile had been on the old acid. these days i use my mobile as an alarm clock, i just find them extremely frustrating!

Watch out, each time I had a favourite track as ringtone I got tired of it after a while because I heard it all the time. I want to avoid this with music like BoC. I now have a Romanian folk song as ringtone.

Lol, are you romanian? Ce mai face.

Do NEVER.. i reapeat NEVER use a song you love as ringtone/alarm. It'll never be the same.

Use some song that's pretty cool but not superspecial, like my ringtone.
