Callin' Oates - Hall & Oates Hit Song Hotline

Michael Selvidge, a communications manager at Twillo, used his company’s phone/text-to-app API to build a Hall & Oates hits hotline to satiate the musical thirst of fans of the 70s-era pop duo. Read the details at Twillo’s blog. Call 1-719-26-OATES and you’ll be prompted with a menu to choose one of four hit songs.

It’s a clever way to deliver music, one that I imagine could be used effectively to promote a new album release. Here’s a demo of Callin’ Oates:

Good Ol Shoe by Edgar Winter

Good Ol Shoe is one of my favorite blues songs. I first encountered it in the movie Wag The Dog during a scene where Willie Nelson is trying to come up with a theme song, so to speak, for the fictional return of a fallen hero. Here’s the song followed by that scene.

The music video for Burn It Down by The Suicide Commandos. One night in the fall of ’77, the Minnetonka Fire Department burned down the condemned Utopia House–the legendary Commandos HQ that the band had rented for $30 a month. Knowing it would happen, the band wrote one of its finest anthems for the occasion–”Burn It Down”–shooting a video for the song with the flaming house as a live backdrop.
