Cool Mobile Stuff
Hi Everyone, it's good to be back after the long holiday break. There's no suprise that today we're seeing all the new phones out there buzzing with some of the coolest mobile stuff. If you didn't already know... T.I., Beyonce, Soulja Boy and Katy Perry are burning up our Ringtone, Video and MP3 charts. Due to the fact that we'll have a new president sworn-in this month, Obama graphics are being dowloaded in amazing numbers. Along with that, Will.I.Am's tribute "It's A New Day" tone is also a favorite. NFL Graphics are in demand, as wallpapers and animations of favorite teams are being sported by fans. For Games... God Of War - Betrayal and 007 Quantum of Solace are still top-sellers. Animations from Neon World are big right now as well as Valentine's Day graphics. It's definitely exciting to come in from the new year and see what people are interested in. Let's all hope this next year turns out to be one of the best!

NFL Happenings
It's time for the playoffs and a number of teams have just won their spots. Congrats to the Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Vikings, Baltimore Ravens, Atlanta Falcons, Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles and the rest of the teams. As a result of this season's losses, a few coaches have just been fired. These would include Eric Mangini from the Jets, Romeo Crennel from the Browns and Rod Marinelli from the Lions. Yesterday's hard-fought games were not without their injuries. Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo collapsed after their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Pittsburg Steelers QB Rothlisberger got carried off the field due to whiplash in the game vs Cleveland.

Hanukkah Mobile Content
As Hanukkah approaches, now's a great time to celebrate with ringtones, graphics and MP3's for your mobile phone. Some cool graphics are the 3D Menorah, the Neon Star of David, and the Colorful Dreidel. For new ringtones, check out Songs In The Key Of Hanukkah; it features new takes on classic songs. A seasonal favorite group is NYC's own The Klezmatics, who have a number of fun tones to celebrate Hanukkah like "Do The Latke Flip-Flop" and "Honeyky Hanukkah". Billy Sherwood's MP3 of "Rockin' Hanukkah" is a well-known tune, heard on the TV show "Brothers & Sisters". Speaking of rockin' Hanukkah songs, check out this rocked up version of "Spin The Dreidel" by Dave Feldstein. If traditional is more your style "I Have a Little Dreidel" MP3 by Wendie Colter might do. Happy Hanukkah!Labels: graphics, holidays, Ringtones

College Football
The College Football season is getting intense right now. Last week we saw Pittsburg lose to Cincinnati, Ohio State crush Michigan, and Oklahoma's victory over Texas Tech. This Saturday, I'm looking forward to watching Georgia Tech play their long-time rival the Georgia Bulldogs. The battle for state bragging rights is on, as these two teams go head-to-head. If Georgia Tech wins, it will be their first victory over the Bulldogs in 7 years. Will Georgia Tech come out victorious? I guess we'll have to wait and see...Labels: graphics, Ringtones, video

Thanksgiving / TV Holiday Specials
Thanksgiving's here! It's also the time of year that our favorite Holiday TV specials are on. Charlie Brown and How The Grinch Stole Christmas are just two of the beloved classics. While The Polar Express, The Santa Clause and Shrek The Halls are among the newer shows getting played every year.
Peronsonally, I can't get enough of Vince Guaraldi's tunes around this holiday season. Vince was the one responsible for all the Charlie Brown classics like "Linus & Lucy", "Skating", "Christmastime Is Here" and the jazzed-out "Charlie Brown Theme". If you're a Dr. Seuss fan, you can download the original version of "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch" to your cell.
For a real hoot, check out these Thanksgiving tones, they're really funny!

Tones From The Hills
If anyone watched The Hills last night, you'd probably agree with me that there was a lot of great music played during the show. In addition to "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield still being used as the theme song, they did a really good job of featuring new music by both upcoming and established artists. I'd have to say the musical highlights for me was hearing The Ting Tings "Shut Up And Let Me Go", Rihanna's "Disturbia"; and Pussycat Dolls' "When I Grow Up" rocking the start of the show. I though the use of Estelle's "American Boy" was perfectly timed for Lauren's date with Doug. There were great spots for newcomers Lesley Roy with her single "I'm Gone, I'm Going" and the very hip Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" which I'm sure many of you know. I predict it's going to be a great season for Lauren and the girls. posted by Steve Augello @ 9:00 AM
