Ideas for "Comp" for Wacken and Party.San[views:5233][posts:94]________________________________________ [Jun 22,2009 6:26pm - josh_hates_you ""] ha. been there. done that. |
| _____________________________________________ [Jun 22,2009 6:35pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] I didn't read all of the thread because I'm lazy but I know Aril mentioned it would be tough getting most people to listen to a comp. Most of the time I forget I have comps or listen to CDs from just 1 band first if given a handful of both at a fest. It's a lot harder/more annoying to remember what band(s) you liked on a compilation rather than a demo, EP or even full length from one band. I don't dislike the idea of a comp, but this is the biggest downside to them that I've noticed. I already have about 100 Composted CDs sans-packaging anyway, so it would be pointless for us to spend anymore money (whatever small cost it would be) to contribute to the comp. |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 22,2009 6:41pm - BoarcorpseJimbo ""] so your giving your cds away? |
| _____________________________________________ [Jun 22,2009 6:43pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Just a handful of them, yes; I didn't realize until a week or so ago that the pressing company sent me an approximate 100 extra CDs with no packaging. An overseas fest would be worthy of at least a good portion of these being given out as promotional copies. |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 22,2009 6:46pm - BoarcorpseJimbo ""] That's badass. Was it built by Icon that did that? I hope so. |
| _____________________________________________ [Jun 22,2009 6:47pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Yes indeed. They sent 100 extra in packaging and close to 100 extra w/o packaging. So good. |
| _______________________________ [Jun 22,2009 7:00pm - Pires ""] composted=too good for rttp comps. Didn't know you were capable of being so smug! |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 22,2009 7:01pm - BoarcorpseJimbo ""] ha! |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 22,2009 7:05pm - neverpurified ""] we're currently recording, so we can contribute something as well, as i had mentioned in the previous thread. let me know if there's anything i can do as well |
| _____________________________________________ [Jun 22,2009 7:16pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Fuck you Pires, you're lower than scum under my shoe. PSHAW! |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 22,2009 7:20pm - RichHorror ""] Comps are only for bands that nobody likes. Hence why I said I'd send in a song from my band. |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 22,2009 7:47pm - BoarcorpseJimbo ""] us too |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 22,2009 8:14pm - narkybark ""] metal comps aren't complete without a King Diamond song. |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 22,2009 9:08pm - BoarcorpseJimbo ""] yeah, back when you were cool, in the 70s. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 22,2009 9:20pm - narkybark ""] I am forever cool. |
| _________________________________ [Jun 22,2009 9:23pm - RustyPS ""] King Diamond ain't from New England |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 22,2009 10:15pm - dertoxia ""] Can we pretend that NY is a part of New England so Psytoxia can throw a song on? |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 22,2009 10:15pm - RichHorror ""] Only if it's a King Diamond song. |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 22,2009 10:15pm - BoarcorpseJimbo ""] i think we should. |
| ________________________________ [Jun 22,2009 10:17pm - Pires ""] fuck that. NY will never be part of new england. However, psytoxia should definitely be on this,on account that they fucking rule hard and come out to mass alot. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 23,2009 1:03am - dertoxia ""] I think we should be NY ambassadors to NE and have an honorary spot on the comp. Also because we love playing in your part of the country more than our own due to you nerds having a way better scene than small-bany. Mostly it's because of the 7-11's though. Plus Psytoxia's singer is from Vermont so due to the kevin bacon rule....Psytoxia is a NE band. |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 23,2009 1:28am - BoarcorpseJimbo ""] I'm not sure if you understand the Kevin Bacon rule. It sounds like your saying that since the singer is from VT that the band can be called a New England band. The Kevin Bacon "Rule" I think your refering to, is defined as a game in wiki: Kevin Bacon Game The game "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" was invented as a play on the concept: the goal is to link any actor to Kevin Bacon through no more than six connections, where two actors are connected if they have appeared in a movie together. So can you see how it confused me? |
| _________________________________ [Jun 23,2009 8:32am - RustyPS ""] it has been decreed: Psytoxia is the only band from outside NE that is allowed on this comp it has been written and it shall come to pass |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 23,2009 9:18am - dreadkill ""] psytoxia plays in new england more often than half the new england bands who post here. i say put em on. |
| _________________________________ [Jun 23,2009 9:21am - RustyPS ""] THEY'RE ON, GAWD! |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 23,2009 9:24am - dreadkill ""] i failed to read your previous post fully |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 23,2009 1:35pm - RichHorror ""] WTF Y KANT PSYTOXIA BE ON THIS |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 23,2009 1:37pm - dreadkill ""] I CAN HAZ SIGHTAWKSEEUH? |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 23,2009 1:37pm - RichHorror ""] PUT THEM ON U WONT |

So can you see how it confused me? oh ok i used the wrong thing.....then we're just from NE by association |

| __________________________________ [Jun 23,2009 2:06pm - dertoxia ""] O hai guiz you know like back when the Nazi's were all if yur 1/6 jewish then yur a jew, well we're 1/4 New England so we're New England-ish |
| _________________________________ [Jun 23,2009 2:20pm - RustyPS ""] MarkFuckingRichards said:so it would be pointless for us to spend anymore money (whatever small cost it would be) to contribute to the comp. just saw this...as far as cost for bands go, I won't be charging any band for the 100 or so copies to send over with HeavensJail I'm considering charging for the CD-Rs for the any copies a band wants to hand around in this area...but other than that, no cost to the bands whatsoever |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 23,2009 2:21pm - RichHorror ""] YEAH FUCK YOU GUINEA FUCKING DAGO |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 23,2009 2:23pm - BoarcorpseJimbo ""] Are you gonna handle the cost of the CD labels and sleeves too? It'd be wicked cheap, like 5bucks a band or something. |
| _________________________________ [Jun 23,2009 2:29pm - RustyPS ""] here was my plan: no label on the CD face...just write "New England Comp" or whatever on them printing out/making copies of artwork/tracklist on my own or with help and throwing them in sleeves didn't really look up costs of eveything, but I know plastic sleeves and CD-Rs aren't expensive at all...what might be the most expensive aspects is getting the color copies of the artwork (49 cents/copy if I remember correctly) |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 23,2009 2:33pm - BoarcorpseJimbo ""] I can do the color copies for free. |
| _________________________________ [Jun 23,2009 2:34pm - RustyPS ""] that'd be pretty awesome |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 23,2009 2:35pm - BoarcorpseJimbo ""] no problem. |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 23,2009 6:14pm - neverpurified ""] sounds logical |
| _________________________________ [Jun 24,2009 8:03pm - RustyPS ""] bump...any other name ideas? |
| ___________________________________________ [Jun 24,2009 9:07pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] FuckIsMySignature said:NEW ENGLAND IS STILL WICKED PISSED: PART DEUX the only logical choice. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 24,2009 10:17pm - dertoxia ""] There are so many good bands from New England. I've been thinking that a comp is way wayyyy overdue. |
