Comment:
Well, technically only 3 of the tracks are called "Telephone Song," but you get the idea. I like how the different tunes give glimpses of the development of the technology--the engaged operator in "Give Me Central 209" and "Pennsylvania Six-Five Thousand" and "Telephone Conversation"; pulling a dime out of your pocket in "606-0842"; plenty of answering machines; and the ubiquitous invitation to just ring me up. [Tracks in brackets are actually little clip-interludes.]Feedback:
Great theme and this looks terrific. Go on, make it downloadable -- you know you want to...
Lynn also does that Trouble on the Line song from Van Lear Rose that would fit here -- for a vol. II, maybe. This is an A-1 theme mix -- a yard-stick, in fact, for anyone attempting such a thing. I'd love to trade for a copy.
I don't know how to make it downloadable, but if you send me an e-mail (catpaul at bellsouth dot net) with an address I'll happily send you a copy. Definitely interested in trades.
Add me to the list of interested people... and you know I'm good for a trade.
tasty!
Top mix! This is a theme I've been mulling over for a while maybe this'll give me the kick up the arse I need. Interesting the net / web has yet to generate anything like enough songs to form a credible mix.
Hey this looks terrific.By the way, I can't call it development. Phone numbers were better when they started with a name, like Pennsylvania 6-. (Although the phone researchers were never able to fit a name to ones that started with 95x-.)
this is really great. i especially like that you made room for beastie boys AND prince.
Nice. But is it the pulse or tone version?
Very nice. But what, no Muddy Waters "Long Distance Call?"
For volume 2: "Party Line," the Kinks. "Telephone Line," Electric Light Orchestra (their one great song). "Hanging On The Telephone," Blondie (yes, them again).
I must disagree with plushpig about the 'net - pls check here.
LOVE this mix. It is divinity and features some of my staple artists. S'WONDERFUL!
Good point, Mixxer, about "development." I used that word too loosely, when I really meant "changes."
And jonpoi, this is the tone AND pulse version.
