ADVICE NEEDED! I have to replace my phone asap. Do I get a new iPhone ($200) or switch to the Droid and pay AT&T cancellation fee?

iPhone.
- Akiva
How much is the cancellation fee?
- Shey
Are you ok with iPhone/AT&T? Might as well stick with it if you've got no issues.
- ronin
I'm not happy with AT&T. Ever since I moved back to NYC I've had the WORST service. Dropped calls 5+ times a day... no service in my office or house
- Alexa
The iPhone is great and all but if it's unusable for its primary purpose... The AT&T cancellation fee is what? $175?

Looking for a new theme song for The Tech Guy radio show (rights are expiring on the old theme). Upbeat, rock, techy. Got a suggestion?

Leo, should be thousands of musos out there who can write you a theme song (creative commons). Something like the FLOSS theme would be great. Setup a competition. A bit like Paul's "everything must go!"
- Lawrence Di Stefano
speaking of creative commons - Nine Inch Nails newest music is released under creative commons. no lyrics either. I was thinking of the ghosts album, I think its track 7. check them out NIN.com
- Caleb Scribner
I think something Jazz or blues based... That or get JoCo to write something for you...
- Johnny
oh man, that would rock, Leo Laporte show with NIN music theme. :)
- rob friedman
I can't believe you're retiring that theme song! *tear* Check out the tracks on here: http://www.audionetworkplc.com/product... (theyre one of my favorite sites to get songs from)

- Derek Steen
Funny - I use track 7 from NIN's Ghosts as the theme for one of my podcasts.
- Ben Hinc
Darn, I really liked the old one. I don't know what to do!

There's a tune of mine on my website: elranchoaudio.com called "Ruthies's Inn" which you might like, since it's up tempo and all... maybe not completely techy but rockin! It's all mine so we can talk if it fills the bill. My credentials are linked on my site as well. Though mostly as a Sound Editor... just sayin' whatev!
- Wilson Dyer
Cool Ben, what podcast is that? I heard the opening to that track and it screamed theme..

Ha! "Something like the FLOSS theme". Leo, I'd love to take a crack at it. I'm in Portland 'til Friday, but I'll take a run at it this weekend. (the FLOSS theme guy)
- Jeff Robbins
Why haven't you asked Peter Himmelman? He's AWESOME and has a solid, critically acclaimed career in doing music for shows.
- Ellen Berman
It should be instrumental (sound effects are ok) and needs to have a strong open and run for 30 seconds, then I start talking and it can go another 30 or more. There should be a post or transition at 30 and the rest should be appropriate for talking over.

The CC attribution requirement is a non-starter - I can't credit the performer EVERY time I play the theme. We play it twice an hour. I can use any ASCAP-BMI licensed music without attribution - we pay the license fees. (Rush Limbaugh, for example, uses The Pretenders, My City Is Gone without any attribution at all, but they get a royalty every time he plays it.) I'm glad to give credit once in a while but I just can't do it every time.
- Leo Laporte
Yes, I have a song that I think would work well. VERY techy. It's electronica. I used it for the theme of my iPhone game "Spacewalk 3D". It's called Space Walk and is in iTunes. You can also preview it at http://www.strawberrylabs.com/.... You'll find the sample just above the YouTube video and below the link to iTunes. If you need it anymore up tempo I could do a remix for your show...

Heh, okay. Waived. Just for you. [tm] :)

Here's a rockin' instrumental I recently recorded that might for for the show. http://dreamgoeson.com/Rockin_...
- Peter Day
That's one of the few of your shows I don't listen to (time constraint) Is there a link where I could listen to the current theme song? I'm a musician, but I'm nowhere near as good as that Geoff guy so I have no aspirations for that, and besides I write really mellow stuff, but I'd still be interested in hearing it. Thanks. :)
- Stephen Pickering
I like everything by Brad Sucks, and I think he's pretty liberally licensed.

Hi Leo, I'd love to let you have some stuff. I have a great song that I've always thought worked as well as a theme song. It meets your requirements as an instrumental and happens to change right at 30 secs. :) I've uploaded here at last.fm for you to listen and download. http://www.last.fm/music...

It might not be what you're looking for, but feel free to use my band's music for anything (for free of course). http://deltarasa.bandcamp.com
- Kevin Florenzano
I suggest doing whatever you can to keep the original and remixed theme. That remix deserves more than only 1 year of play. It's too good to be replaced.
- WazNeeni
what was the old theme? i just assumed it was written for the show.
- Smith
old theme: http://www.indabamusic.com/contest... (the 1st one on the leaderboard, you can also play the old old theme)
- Keith Hobin
Please keep the old theme...it is AMAZING! If not, I recommend Love Glitch by Govinda from the album Worlds Within. He is a friend here in Austin and could work out something.
- Damon Leo
TWIP has a nice theme by Scott Cannizzaro.
- Roberto Bonini
Who does the tweet beat theme? That's pretty catchy.
- Smith
Leo, Check out a new local band in Los Angeles. I heard them on KROQ Locals the last few weeks. I think You'll like 'em . They have two CD's on iTunes, and you can take a listen on their site at http://www.myspace.com/fightfr....

Hubby: If you slept with my wife, get a test - http://www.torontosun.com/news...
A Toronto man who was infected with the HIV virus by his stripper ex-wife is pleading for other men who may have had sex with her to get tested for the disease. "I know there were other men she slept with," Percy Whiteman claimed yesterday of his ex, Suwalee Iamkhong, who's fighting deportation from Canada. "I am lucky that I was able to find out early."
- Shey
from Bookmarklet
The Canadian government wants to deport Iamkhong, who is being detained in an immigration holding facility. A final deportation date has not been set. Whiteman sponsored Iamkhong and according to immigration laws, is financially responsible for her until 2011. "I don't think justice was fully served," he said. "She should have been deported a long time ago for what she's done to others." Whiteman has since founded Positive Survivors Living with HIV AIDS to help men in similar situations.

Get a test. If you're negative, I'll proceed to choke you
