Thomas Dolby and The Wireless Ringtones

Worth checking out today's Wall Street Journal (don't believe you can see it for free online, without a subscription) if you're a fan of 80's music like I am. Thomas Dolby, the two-hit wonder who composed "Hyperactive" and "She Blinded Me With Science", has now been reduced to composing pop ringtones for cellphones. He also has a company that creates original music for cellphones, according to the article.

Actually, compared to a lot of 80's pop stars, at least he's employed. Just really interesting to see how big a business ringtones have become. For those wondering, I currently have the following tunes of my phone:

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly theme - main ring
Spider-Man theme (my son's choice; not mine)
Just Can't Get Enough - Depeche Mode
We're Not Gonna Take It - Twisted Sister (not a very good version, obviously)
You Spin Me Round - Dead Or Alive

Anyways, very interesting article....
