Here are a couple of ring tones that I made last week after being inspired from the Mobile Active conference. Feel free to pass them around and post your feedback so I can make them better :).
- Bush, “Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job,” overlaid with Arlo Guthrie’s “The Train They Call the City of New Orleans” (listen: streaming download: mp3 | amr)

- Bush on pre-war intelligence, mixed with some British rock/punk including Billy Bragg and Califone. (listen: streaming download: mp3 | amr)

- Take two of “Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job,” with Arlo Guthrie. (listen: streaming download:| mp3 | amr)

The political focus of these ring tones started after talking to Tonyo Cruz from TXTPower http://www.txtpower.org/ who gave me my first ring tone that didn’t come with my phone. It was the Hello Garci tone (read about it on CNN).  

Tonyo gave me a CD with different versions that were passed around last spring during the huge protests against the election fraud. I have attached the different ring tones below this post.

I also talked with Evan Henshaw - Plath about Riot.ton.es, a distribution system for cell phone ring tones by grassroots activists that he is currently working on.   Jo Lee had a great write up on Evan’s work on the wiki here.
