The crazed and fractured geniuses at Think Geek have come up with what others have only made jokes about. They have put Bluetooth technology into those old-fashioned rotary phone handsets. That’s right, all you have to do is hide your cell phone somewhere on your person and enjoying a stimulating conversation with your friends about the latest Brady Bunch episode or any other 50’s, 60’s or 70’s reference you can collectively come up with.

This is a great way to fill that need for attention that has been gnawing at you. Of course, most of the attention will not be positive — mostly just stares with open mouths.  Now if they’d only make a Princess Phone version so you can go around the rich and exclusive shopping centers like, say, Cherry Creek in Denver and subversively start the latest tasteless trend.  Except the princess version will cost $349 because it’s so hard to get the wires though that tiny, little handle. At least that’s what the ad will say. We all know it’s because the trendy will pay that much to maintain their ‘cool’. And we all know there is nothing more cool than walking through a high-end mall, carrying your little chihuahua and talking on your cordless princess phone.

Listening to: Sweet Dreams - Tori Amos

I love doing weird breaks in these songs that I produce and went through the Garageband drum loops to find all the fills and percussion breaks and put them in a song which is called "The Break". This is so me showing my 80’s influence or, as friends liked to call it, my Axel F song. Personally, I think the song is a little too long, but it was fun to do.

This song drew the attention of a guy who runs a presentation business where you can order up a flashy, testosterone-ridden PowerPoints. I had to sign a contract so he could use the song for one of his demos. Of course, the contract said I wouldn’t go after any money which was fine with me. It was just cool that someone wanted something I created.

You can download "The Break" and keep it forever if you wish.
