Cibo Matto - Sugar Water (Video) - YouTube:

“The Minutemen’s catalytic philosophy—that “punk is whatever we make it to be,” that any group of kids could pick up instruments and make artistic, innovative, impossible music without worrying about cliques, categories, or condemnation; even working-class kids from San Pedro like Boon and Watt—is the greatest band philosophy of all time.”

Thanks to everyone who’s bought Astral Fish ringtones so far!...

Thanks to everyone who’s bought Astral Fish ringtones so far! Hopefully you’re getting a lot of use out of them. I’m having a blast making them.

Don’t forget you can follow @astralfish on Twitter for updates. I’ve also been casually tweeting links to other great ringtones, thoughts on music making, ringtone making, and the process I go through.

C’mon everybody! Grab an instrument! We’re going on a Poopy March!

[Note: This tone is actually quite serious, but this is what happens when you make ringtones while hanging out with constipated babies.]
