yesthattom"New Sounds" is a music show on WNYC. Each weeknight they play cutting-edge music. It's often very artsy, but sometimes they shows like this one. This is, quite possibly, the BEST show they've ever done.
I particularly like the pieces by Jocelyn Pook. You can listen to the entire show here:

"On this edition of New Sounds, we're “Phoning It In.” From dial tones to busy signals, phone messages and disconnects, as well as the conversations in between, we’ll hear a number of works about the telephone, or even with the telephone as the instrument. Hear Anton Batagov's “Dialog,” featuring the voice of a Russian automated Telebanking system. Also, listen for Lou Reed’s “New York Telephone Conversation," a cutesy poke at Warhol-era New York pop-sphere gossip. Plus there’s the Penguin Café Orchestra classic “Telephone and Rubber Band,” along with many other phone-based tunes."
