Ringtones
You will have seen our Latest News by now, but, if you haven’t, the gist of it is that you can get a free full-length ‘Remember That Night’ track – both audio and video – for your ‘phone, as well as having the option to purchase a ringtone and/or ringback, too (but only if you’re in America and on the Verizon network).
That’s right: you don’t have to buy anything (but these tracks will expire after nine weeks, at which point, you can buy them).
You can have ‘Comfortably Numb’ (that’s with Richard Wright, not David Bowie), ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’ and ‘Wish You Here’.
From Friday 16 November, each song will be available, in turn, for three weeks.
You can, at the same time, purchase matching tones.
‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond’ is up first, available to buy as a ringtone/ringback from the get-go. ‘Wish You Were Here’ will follow in the fourth week, with ‘Comfortably Numb’ available from the seventh.
Once a song becomes available, it stays available until the nine weeks are up. When the nine weeks are up, if you can’t bear to be without them, you can buy the songs. They’ll cost $1.99 each. Videos will not be available after this time, however.
If you want a ringtone to go with it, the cost of each song is $2:99. If you want the ringback, the cost of each song is $1:99. You can have both ringtone and ringback for a bargain $4:49 (per song).
Your thoughts on the above, as always, are very welcome; your queries, less so. That’s all I can tell you for now, sorry… and there are no prizes awarded for the most awkward question.
Thank you all for sharing your thoughts on the recent Barn photos. The above is definitely the last in the set, but I’m very glad that you enjoyed them. Many thanks to Polly for sharing them with us.
The chatroom is open today between 3PM and 5PM (UK time).

In a ruthless sort of fun and games jam session, David watches, keen as a hawk, as Rick frets and struggles over this session of “have you got it yet?”

Hum.
This ringtone debate sounds a bit like the Gini affair back in 1974 (or was it 1975?).
I stood up on a train once and shouted at this grown man who was acting like the teenage boys he had chosen to sit with and play the various tunes their phones rang with as loud as a child could to stop being childish and put down his phone
sitting back down to the approving grins of all those in the carriage, my own phone went off
now if it had been gilmour/floyd they were playing I would never have opened my mouth to put my foot in it

Hi FEd,
“Great result (8-0) creates great optimism” – Confucius might say.
That was one mightily pissed-off team ripping the Turkish team apart.
But I agree with you. I’d much rather have eight 1-0 victories against Premier opponents. What we need is a non-pissed-off team that routinely wins at the Birminghams and Boltons.
My RTN moment(s)of the day:
Well, it is more than a moment, but I’ve been listening a lot to Fat Old Sun and Wot’s …Uh, The Deal. Both are such achingly beautiful songs, particularly Fat Old Sun. In fact, listening to Fat Old Sun is sometimes a difficult experience as this song has the unique ability to take you back vividly to places, people and heartaches long forgotten.
Oh ! So futile to discuss about ringtones while little baby Aaron is suffering from that serious accident !
All my thoughts and friendship are with you, Simon.

If you expect that I will be part of the “Chorus” you are all wrong.
If I say I hate a Volkswagen you reply with anger. If I say my opinion, anger again! Someone here seems like those who look at the finger that points to the moon instead of looking at the moon. You like your volkswagen? Fine!! All this thing of taking debate personally is frustrating.
Thanks to all those who contradict or oppose my opinion and anyone else’s one with intelligence and wit.
I like my opinion and am interested in everyone’s opinion. Someone is still not able to show his own perspective in an adult manner.
Terrible news, Simon. I hope that everything works out for you, and your family. I’m sure things will work out for the best.
Try to keep your chin up, mate!
Simon, so sorry to hear about your son Aaron’s accident. I believe we may have spoken in the chat room yesterday. Please keep us posted.
In the meantime, God bless. Prayers are with you and yours,
Cevin

I was having some problems with my high-speed internet access over the last few days so I had to revert to dial-up mode. Trying to load this site and any of the links associated with it is basically impossible with dial-up.
Just thought I would share.
Thanks.

Right back at you, friend! I enjoyed our chat, too.
(FEd, please send my check in US funds to…)
I agree wholeheartedly with Rob P. from CT. Nicely said.
Hello all,
What a debate on the ringtone issue. I personally have no problems with this. I would purchase in a moment, but I have AT&T.
So, I made my own ringtone. It is from Near the End, when David transistions from acoustic to electric guitar. 30 seconds of pure bliss.
I can’t tell you how many people have asked where I got that from. It was at the screening of RTN at our local US theater and someone tracked me down in the hallway after the show to ask me where it got that from. I forgot to turn my phone down when I went in and it rang before the show. Everyone started to clap.
Fed, welcome back.
[Thanks very much. - Features Editor]
Simon,
Oh my gosh! My prayers are with you and your son Aaron Floyd.
What devasting news. I hope Aaron gets well.
As I tuck my little girl in tonight I will pray for Aaron.
Best regards.
