This being a digital music blog, I can’t think of a more appropriate last post of the year than sharing my favorite ’04 ringtones. For Chrismukkah EJ got me a Sidekick II (like Lindsay Lohan, woo!), and while I’m looking forward to utilizing those hott CallerTunes/Ringbacks everyone’s so excited about, I’ll miss Bluetoothing my own files onto the ol’ Ericsson T610. Carriers are now pushing real audio “hi fi” song clips instead of the dinky midi versions. Do the kids actually prefer a real song clip as their ring? Isn’t that confusing in a bar/club? Aren’t the Casio-ass versions much more fun? I think they are. And while I’ll adjust to the trends, these are ten awesomely cheesy ringtones I’ll miss.
Usher – “Yeah”
The Streets – “Fit But You Know It”
Britney Spears – “Toxic”
Franz Ferdinand – “Take Me Out”
Outkast – “The Way You Move”
Avril Lavigne – “My Happy Ending”
D12 – “My Band”
Black Eyed Peas – “Let’s Get Retarded”
Morrissey – “Irish Blood English Heart”
Kevin Lyttle – “Turn Me On”
Have a fun and safe New Year’s and THANK YOU ALL for reading, linking, and commenting on Stereogum in ’04! New Year’s Resolution: less Brit, I promise.

first comment of 05… happy new year to all the stereogummers out there.. may brit brit continue to walk barefoot in the new year!
less brit? are you sure? havent you heard? she is set to release a new lb in the fall, the new single from it is already out. there is no way we can be rid of her
Thank God resolutions are made to be broken.
have you heard the new brit song from ORIGINAL DOLLS or whatever she’s calling the next album? so. good.
happy new years!
Noooooooooooooooooooo !
Brit is the “raison d’être” of your blog.
You know it
But how do you like the Sidekick II? I’m thinking about investing in one…but it costs like $250 plus the extra $20 a month for web browsing, instant messaging, etc.
Is it worth it?
if i hear “let’s get retarded” one more time i will puke. if you are in a bar next to me and your phone starts ringing “let’s get retarded” i will puke in your hair.
i just set europe’s final countdown on my phone ringer as a tribute to G.O.B.
The D12 one sounds the same as the OG!
xox
deos anyone know how to bluetooth from an G4 mac to an LG mobile? thanks kids!
