It’s one of those weird things. It’s pretty hard to get people to pay 99 cents to download a song when they can download it for free, but they will shell out a few bucks for a crappy, MIDI version of the same song to use on the cellphone. So a band called Super Smart decided to be super smart and release their new album, Panda Babies, entirely as a series of ringtones for you to play on your cellphone. Is this the start of a new genre? Probably, but it’s easier to get away with if your music consists mainly of bleeps and blips anyway, since it’s not as if CDs or even MP3s are necessarily going to sound a lot better. All we know is that we can’t wait until someone releases the first album exclusively for the Game Boy Advance; we’re guessing that there has to be a band somewhere in Japan that’s already working on it.
