Where do ringtones come from? From a warehouse in downtown San Francisco, that's where. Oh, and Japan. The music nerds at SF's Moderati have ring-interpereted everything from pop hits to cult classics to bodily functions. But watch out, here comes the artless MP3 download, threatening to retire these Ringtone Masters into Atari-like obscurity. Does that totally suck, or just make old-school ringtones even cooler?

I didn't know the Bay Area and ringtones had ANYTHING In common! I feel more informed! Way to go J!!!

Yeah Jiggy... A sweet little pod on Current... An inside look on an industry I never even knew existed. Next up you'll get yourself an Emmy...

You got the steez for this documentarian business, sir! Neatly packaged, informative, hitting the major players, a little human interest...it's tight. Better than Oakland Raider Parking Lot, your finest work? Hard to say!

Nice Work. Tight, funny, great.

Fascinating work! I particularly like the nonplussed assessment from the Japanese ringtone master. One thing: the ringing sound over the first shot of the vintage telephone is obviously NOT an analog metal clapper hitting a metal bell--it would be nice to hear the comparison between the simulation and the real thing.

I love the ringtone master! And that funky old rotary phone is the bomb. Where did you find it? Awesome piece. Totally sweet.

Hey, is this an ad or what is Current coming to???? Peter Rabbit

This was very interesting ! :)

Well covered - the story is told with true professionalism. The subject is culturally relevant and current. It's a topic that garners interest from the millions of ring-toners. Great choice, well done.
Take the time to make sure your sound is right on location - those technical considerations are what separate the pros from the cons.
I gotta get me a phat ringtone.
Greenlight.

I have "Crazy Chicken" on my phone :)
Make it shorter though. And the voice over would serve the pod better if I was faster/more dynamic. Make it like 2 mintes max. -
Well done piece! I love his "Steven Wright-esqe" voice. (Will anyone on this site know who he is?) As a 33 year old I'm just sitting on the sidelines watching all the younguns go crazy about their ringtones and MP3s.

WELL DONE. Really interesting subject done with a simple, but stylistic approach. You get my green.

intresting piece. the "Ringtone masters" said they could not be replaced because they make a ringtone that sounds like an old telephone, just make an mp3 of the real sounding phone! ha "Ringtone masters" you have officialy been replaced! you get a "GL"

Ringtones are for babies.

I HATE THOSE ANNOYING RINGTONES-except for mine-it's the saved by the bell song. Great job, shoulda made TV already.
-

Just to let everyone know, I have a really old Nokia and I found my ringtone on the internet as a series of keystrokes I had to program myself. The tune you might ask???
"PUSH IT" by Salt N' Peppa
