No, this won’t be annoying at all

Here’s the thing: People need to learn how to assert their identities without annoying me. Okay? Honestly, guys! I love Facebook, I’m okay with MySpace, I’ll even deal with your stupid ring tone (kind of funny when it goes off and embarrasses you, actually.) But if people start walking around with a f-cking personalized music button on their figurative lapels, they may as well invest in this teeshirt.? Mmmm… midis.

Seriously, guys. Why can’t we form identities without the aid of technology? Why?

Rasslin’ with ringles.

Ringle. That’s a legit marketing solution. “Ringle.”

Apparently, Sony BMG’s brilliant idea is to sell CD singles with a ring tone attached. Woo-hoo! What’s terrible about this technological solution to a really bad music market is that it’s simply going to proliferate the production of really dumb music. And I say this because pop music does NOT have to be dumb, it can be funny and clever and dance-able (*Justin Timberlake and Timbaland prove this*).

But, there you have it, we’re already in the ring tone era of pop music. It’s everywhere. Songs are produced with ringtone-ality in mind, which usually means they sound eerily like a midi file, are hypnotic and repetitive. Mims, this is why you’re hot.
