Phantom Compilation Cd

scotsman

In my opinion. If Phantom need dosh to spank up their studio and feed the Phantoms..

what better way to Phundraise, than to put together a compilation CD. Make it a double CD, filled back to back with every signed and un-signed (IRISH) band that ever made waves in Phantom airspace. It would take little or no bother to get permission from all the bands. Take for example the Phutloose CD. www.phutloose.com.

Am I right or am I right. There's no argument. It would sell as quick as a slippery snot!!! It would soon have PhantomFM looking like the Taj-Mahal. It would definitley be a NATIONAL success. More Profile could only put more pressure on the FAT licence CAT. They could even sell it over their Web-Site. It could be international!! The Rewards!!! THE REWARDS!!!!

To propose 12 home-grown tracks on each CD. Stressing Home-grown. That makes 24.

If this WAS to go ahead. Would the Phantom listeners not choose the songs? DAMN RIGHT THEY WOULD....


The petition.....

Reply if you feel this could/should be done:


Choose....

Choose the tracks/artists YOU feel are worthy:


As this post increases in size, we should all ( because I'm lazy) observe the top 24 requested artists. With me?

p.s There is no doubt in my mind the artists BELOW will recieve countless ammounts of votes. Give a LITTLE MORE THOUGHT to less fortunate but worthy artists

Turn, Bellx1, Gemma Hayes, Brando, Melaton, (cough) the revs (cough), Damien Rice, The Frames, Blotooth, Mundy, Redneck manifesto, jimmy cake, Babelfish e.t.c

i had the same idea a few weeks ago actually...

Sounds like a plan. We'd help if it came together (mastering, supply of bands, duplication discount we've got goin with a company, phundraising for phundraising cd etc...)

Monkey

there have been quite a few local compilations released recently: The Phutloose one, Dead Languages, Rockets Are Heavy and don't Gigsmart have one out too? Is there much point in another so soon ?

Thomas from Presence

It'd be an excellent cost effective and tasteful money spinner at a phundraising gig where its demand would be at its peak and its market most concentrated, loads of bands will get a good bit of tangible exposure and ppl get introduced to cool tunes they can see live in their city frequently everyone wins.

Twould be dodgy and hard to sell it in a shop for the reasons you outline.

Hi there Monkey, Glad to see you're still keepin an eagles eye over proceedings in these here boards. Yea, there's been a bunch of compilations. But let's face it, if Phantom needs the DO, they've got the designer label. There's no doubt their sales would rocket beyond any of the compilations you speak of, all of which are very good.

Thomas from Presence

Not so sure it would outsell the gigsmart one thats got a rather super cool brand name!




(only messin Pete, really!)

polarbelly

phantom were quoted the other day as having 30,000 listeners (the irish times)
7% of the dublin listenership

if just 1000 of those 30,000 people bought the cd in 1 week it'd chart in the top 20 in ireland!

its an amazing idea scotsman... however the capital required to do a proper release would be pretty big... it'd perhaps require a phundraiser night specially to get it off the ground

again i commend your idea

Lisaq

Man, thats not just a good idea, thats a feckin excellent idea! Good stuff outta u!

metalish

That's a really GOOD idea. U should ask about on the Two Petes Talk Rubbish show. There isn't really any cd out there in the shops that sell irish un-signed singed bands compilation, and it'll will help Phantom to get a lisence aswell if it goes ahead:)

freakofnature

as long as

damien rice
brando
turn
blotooth

are on it me and all my phantomloving friends will buy it. that's a lot of people.


how much would it cost?

Pigman

Stick on "no easy way to go" by SubRosa and I'd buy it! Also get some stuff by Crayons and Taribo and we'll be heading in the right direction

scotsman

let me see..mmmmmm....

scotsman

Ok then. Here's how we're shapin up..


Turn
Blotooth
Brando

in at first place with two votes each


Cmon folks, more bands... let get this thread movin

randy_courage

crow

melaton
future kings of spain
Mic Christopher/Mary Janes
Brando
bellx1
Gemma Hayes
Wilt
Damien Rice

AtlantaSuburb

deputy fuzz
el diablo
louise byrne

gee this city has some great music to offer...

:-)

AtlantaSuburb:cool:

funkster

Based on what I saw last night at TBMC I'd vouch for Polar and Ginseng(?) for deffo and some jimmy cake and Delerentoes

snot

turn - beretta
blowtooth - day job
gemma hayes - worked my way into a calm
bellx 1 - man on meer
wilt- betty, I was hoping every day but it's all over...
la rocca- 1902
the crayons - bringing the conversation down
the frames - this situation's killing me or god bless m
polar - lonely robot song

no booring melaton or damien ricers
keep it sweet -

atonal

hmmm I think it is a good idea - would be cooler if it had stuff that was not on other cd's especially from the better known acts(maybe unreleased songs or acoustic versions or something)

some I would like to see for starters:
The Frames
David Kitt
Polar
Turn
Dudley Corp
LaRocca
BellX1
Arch Stanton

not that i dont allready have most this stuff on cd/downloaded but I would by it anyway, actually I think the Phantom compilation would end up looking alot like the mixes I burn for my friends

DerekD Goldfish

What a great idea if phantomhas as many lisiners as quoted by polarbelly then it could make it to number one as most lisiners would love a copy. the exposure caused by this in newspaper tv whith phantom fm compolation number 1 (slightly optimistic but you never know) it would eaise a hapload for the station. Im sure they could find the money from somewhere

thedrowner

oooh some debuty fuzz and some npb would be nice
also mundy...is mundy irish? im dying to hear his stuff, and every he's playing i'm unable to make it

kirn

this is a brilliant idea!

how about this:

double cd:
side one has rare stuff by the best of the more well known irish acts:

eg
damien rice
frames
wilt
turn
mary janes
bell x1
david kitt
National Prayer Breakfast
the walls
gemma hayes
josh ritter
jimmy cake
the walls
the revs

side two has the best songs by the best of less well known acts:

eg
brando
melaton
blotooth
subrosa
crayons
deputy fuzz
future kings of spain
delorentos
el diablo
polar
ginseng
dudley corporation
laRocca

winners:
people who buy it will get a broad range view of the irish music scene and up and coming acts.

phantom will earn money, credibility, and prove their worth across the irish music industry, and also raise the profile hugely and help their push for the elusive lisense...

the well known bands will gain much exposure and press from this release

the less known bands will expand their fanbase and gain huge exposure, possibly getting into the record collection of 1000 people they wouldn't previously.

truely this is a genious idea and it must be pushed forward....

scotsman

we're doin good here folks. At this stage if I was'nt so lazy, I'd count up the totals. Somebody go to the EDIT- FIND ON THIS PAGE control , add up each band entry and do some kinda chart.

scotsman

And now.....the phanthom complilation chart is brought to you by........

check again, i do believe i brought him up:)

scotsman

Nice one POLARBELLY.
Will that be the final line-up?
I'm sure there's someone with a CD burner out there who could make a prototype or two. CMON PHANTHOM give us the thumbs up!
Until you do...More people voting please...

Minx

this is a great idea scotsman. if there was a double cd how about one cd of signed bands and one of unsigned.
i was in eamon dorans on sunday night and came across a band called the jive principle - supposidly they get played quite alot on phantom. they were wicked. here's my ideas

the frames
brando
david kitt

the jive principle

Dr. Loon
