A local writer/blogger seems to have created a remix of the Somerville snow emergency call.

I am so glad that somebody recognized the artistic importance of this endeavor.

My day is brighter for this!

Amazing! The dulcet tones of Tom Champion are now my snow day soundtrack.

Hey, I thought I was the only one who consistently says "dulcet tones of Tom Champion"! Are you me? Neat.

And yeah, that was a pretty funny soundtrack to my morning.

What a great thing to discover as I started my snow day at home!

Please award to the creator of this remix a coupon good for one (1) Internet, redeemable anywhere fine Internets are sold.

Techno Tom for the win!

FWIW, trying to open the remix crashed Firefox for me. So beware!

It's Adobe Flash, and although it's gotten better in recent versions, the plugin is notoriously crashy. I wouldn't read anything into it.

This is amazing!!

[veek.livejournal.com]

I love Somerville. Love it.

Darn. Page seems to be temporarily unavailable.

DSLJ gets its own Slashdot effect? Sweet.

[ron_newman]

More likely Universal Hub effect.

This is now my muzac for the day!

[miss-chance.livejournal.com]

I can't explain exactly why, but that just cracked me up into hysterical laughter.

[redcolumbine.livejournal.com]

Amazing! I just wasted 15 minutes trying to download it, I like it so much.

[mjperson.livejournal.com]

Did you succeed? I'm failing...

The clip says it's available for reuse, but I can't figure out how to download it out of the player.

[redcolumbine.livejournal.com]

No. Let me know if you figure it out; it's a keeper! Maybe we can convince the composer to give it to people for a $5 donation to Somerville Homeless Coalition or something.

that's kinda awesome right there.

Tom Champion has a break out club hit!

Seriously, the creator of the track could sell this. If I could buy this from iTunes, I totally would.

Entitled: "Oh hai. Muv to da beet pls."

Where are my glowsticks

I would really enjoy hearing the techno robo call instead of his classic robo call

According to a friend of a friend who works with him, "Tom Champion has totally been playing that to everyone in the office all day."

[oneagain.livejournal.com]

Oh my. The effect of watching someone dance to this in the middle of the room is...a bit sublime.

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Your icon...it made my day! :D

Tom Champion. I want you. Now!

Hi

[https://creativecommons.net/cosmocatalano/ (from livejournal.com)]

I'm the responsible party behind the snow emergency mix. Thanks for all the positive feedback—long have I sought to win the Internet.

Anyway, since a lot of you wanted an mp3, I've thrown up a torrent to an mp3 version of the song (192kbps, 4.7MB). The url is http://tinyurl.com/dcktqx.

If the torrent proves too slow/unpopular, I can give you a link directly to the mp3.
(but it costs me 17 cents a gigabyte, as opposed to the torrent, which is free.)

Glad I could brighten your day,

-Cosmo

Here's the mp3 link (http://tinyurl/bn6b7a). Torrent is still preferred, though ;)

Re: Hi

[redcolumbine.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Still "checking for firewall." And the mp3 link "loads" but doesn't play. Did your file get towed for parking on the wrong side of the internet?

Re: Hi

Yes, very clever.
