What's going on, Albuquerque?

What does Albuquerque sound like?

Baseball and mockingbirds if you ask the FreeSoundProject where I recently downloaded all my ringtones. Surely, we can round out the project database with a few more recordings of fair Burque. You know, local aural phenomena such as:

That Olympia Cafe guy bellowing your order #
Route 66 on a Sunday afternoon
Adelita calling out "oh sí liar!"
That flamenco guitarist on the Church Street Patio
Monsoon thunder and rain
Rivet Gang at the Lavender Fest
Roosters in the valley

What else should be on our list?

Until local audiophiles fluff up our feathers, I'll have to rely on happy cat and frogs to fill up my collection.

Comment by Adelita on July 9, 2008 at 9:12pm: The Lotaburger lady: "Do you want cheese and green chile?"

Comment by Adelita on July 9, 2008 at 9:23pm: Chantal, my daughter just recorded me saying “oh sí liar” and now it is my ringtone!!! Oh my god, we’ve been rolling around on the floor laughing our asses off!

Comment by chantal on July 9, 2008 at 9:30pm: Oh please share it with me!

Comment by chantal on July 9, 2008 at 9:32pm: Even better, upload it to FreeSound.org, so we can all enjoy a custom Adelita ringtone. Aw yeah.

Comment by Robert S. on July 9, 2008 at 11:19pm: How about the sound of people drag racing on main streets late at night or the early mornign hours?

I suppose we have way too many straight streets in this town, making it easy to drag race late at night rather than go to the drag strip and do it legally.
