I wonder if they have solution-based infrastructure ringtones like Leo Kottke’s and Mike Gordon’s “The Grid” ??

Gary Numan - “Cars”

Ken,

Subway singles is a great idea if it doesn’t already exist. The subway is funny, because it’s basically like a bar where everyone scopes out everyone else, except nobody ever actually talks. But I suspect there would be users for a site where you could search by train line for that cute girl/guy who commutes at the same time. Streetcarsingles.com could be the sister site.

Sadly, the good people at mSpot don’t have Highway to Hell — it would be perfect though. And “Big Yellow Taxi” was an egregious omission.

OK, wait a minute. I’ve got the perfect one: AC/DC, “Highway to Hell.” Jeb, I’m gonna venture a guess that this ringtone post will become the infrastructurist’s most popular. Also, a shout out to Lauren, who apparently is a pretty girl who loves infrastructure.

On that note, there really should be a transportation/infrastructure related dating website. You could call it “tunneloflove.com,” or “subwaysingles.org.”

I had too much fun with this….some that come to mind:

Arcade Fire, “No Cars Go”
Soul Asylum, “Runaway Train”
Cream, “Crossroads”
Radiohead, “Killer Cars”
Led Zeppelin, “When the Levee Breaks”
Modest Mouse, “Interstate 8″

OK, I’ll stop now.

The Replacements: “Kiss Me on the Bus” and “Skyway”

Both totally lovable songs. If either was your ringtone, I (as a pretty girl) would be impressed.

We’re clearly going to have to do a follow-up to this. The peeps at mSpot actually made these selections. But we’ll go back to the well sometime soon.

If you have requests (serious or not), leave ‘em here.
