Kill The Dark [2001-2006]

[Scot]

the entire set will be titled kill the dark - five years of panic [2001-2006]. disc one will be titled everything's fine and will include eight songs that best define panic button as well as a live track, and a remastered bside. disc two will be titled songs from the cutting room floor, and be comprised of ten unreleased songs. the third disc will be five videos and photos from the rockwater show, and will also include external links to a website with album artwork that i've used over the past five years to promote the band. this best of package will be closed off nicely by a book titled a beautiful mistake, which will contain lyrics to every panic button song in this set, including the unreleased songs.

a greatest hits from a band nobody's ever heard. sounds amazing.

[Guest apsham]

2001-2006 greatest hits?

 

Eww... no. I think greatest hits should be like, at least ten years.

[Scot]

no one's asking you to buy it, so shut the hell up.

[Guest apsham]

"That Scott sure is a dick"

 

"no one's asking you to buy it, guy. so shut the hell up, guy."

Who is this?

What's the Band's name?

Kill the Dark?

Panic?

[NationofCool]

no one's asking you to buy it, so shut the hell up.

with all due respect.

why are you promoting it then?

[Crusader]

They are Panic Button. They're Scot's band.

 

Don't be dicks either guys.

[driftinginfluence]

"That Scott sure is a dick"

 

"no one's asking you to buy it, guy. so shut the hell up, guy."

that's funny

[crazycanuck]

hmmm..

 

I vaguely remember this now from earlier incarnations of boards.

 

How is a greatest hits package justified though?

Have I missed the slew of chart-topping singles?

[Scot]

radio airplay on local college stations like chrw (in london ontario) far outweigh heavy rotation on much on demand. anyone who disagrees should be shot.

 

edit: i've played shows, and my cd's have been sold in major record shops.

 

just because i've yet to be featured on a bag of doritos, doesn't mean this music isn't popular, or worthy of being celebrated.

 

i didn't get into this industry to make money off of people, so anyone interested in hearing it will be able to d/l it for free off the website.

panic button has a b-sides album.. the beatles have a b-sides album. i think it's fairly obvious what is going on.

[crazycanuck]

I'm sorry, but being around for five years, and getting play on a local college station still doesn't constitute a greatest hits package. You may be getting ahead of yourself here.

[CaptainRocket]

I find the parallels to MG's releases pretty funny. A beautiful mistake...haha. I hope you aren't actually a huge snob. Good luck.

[Scot]

when i started playing in college, being in a band for more than a year was a huge accomplishment.

 

i never said it was a greatest hits package. not once, but merely a best of.

 

and the truth is, this has nothing to do with matthew good, infact i'd had this idea a few years ago, but never had the backing of a band or the money to put it to motion, so it ended up in a pile with all the other ideas i've had.

 

it just seemed to me like a nice way to close out a chapter of my life that i'm very proud of.

[static]

I don't give a rat's ass one way or another if a college band releases a "best of" record without being well-known. A band doesn't need to even have airplay to pick and choose which songs they liked the best.

 

Let the man promo.

 

But if i see any penis enlargement or natural remedy ads around here, so help me god...

[Scot]

thank you. that's all i'm saying.
