If I ever try to do another compilation... I give you all permission to punch me in the face.

I know that feeling.
I have enough trouble trying to coordinate ONE fucking band, let alone a whole bunch for a single release. I hope you make some money on that fucker.

That meant alot to me for you to say that. Thank you Gary.upyerbum - 7-11-2007 at 11:27 AM
I had a hard enough time just trying to get one song to a guy who was putting together a comp, can't imagine trying to coordinate 20 dickheads like
me. Good on ya'.Siczine.com - 7-11-2007 at 06:50 PM
My band was due to be on a comp but the guy said the other bands were impossible to work with so it got scrapped.
Mike, this was for the C-rap.com contest right, The Music By People Like Us right?Jason the Magnificent - 7-11-2007 at 07:59 PM
Comps are the worst.
Clusterfucks of the highest degree.
Out of my 10 releases, 5 were comps/splits that I always ended up having to do because any band I ever like are drunk fuck ups who cant string more
than 6 songs together in any 12 month period. So compiling them with others of the ilk made more sense.
Sucked getting everything together...but thats the best part, because after you give each band their share and send your review copies out you're
going to sell 8 before you realize you have 5 boxes of coasters on your hands because everyone that actually does care about the bands outside of
those 8 people just will download the songs anyway.
Comps don't sell for shit, but good luck anyway.Discipline - 7-11-2007 at 08:56 PM
Sounds like big giant pain in the ass. I love a good comp, as it's a great way to check out new bands.upyerbum - 7-11-2007 at 09:03 PM
They are an enormous pain in the ass, but its guys like MyOwnWay that keep the scene moving. Once again, good on ya'.Muttley - 7-12-2007 at 12:24 AM

You're very welcome.
That said, I WILL take you up on that punch to the face. Those are my specialty.
No more comps for you.MyOwnWay - 7-12-2007 at 07:55 AM
I sincerely appreciate everyones kind words. I wasnt expecting this kind of reaction, but I have certainly enjoyed reading these posts. Some of the
posts to be honest were inspiring. Sometimes I just get frustrated and doubtful of my abilities. I'm sure everyone goes thru it at times. Thanks again
fellas.
Muttley... Let me say a disclaimer, next comp I do will be a ten yr anniversary of music I have already released under Awake/Strong. Hopefully BCS
will be on that 10yr comp.
