...hmmm...what's the deal with Panic Records? I'm curious to hear what their side of the whole thing is.

Panic must think Pentimento are going to be huge if they're willing to spend that much money (in lawyer fees alone...) and go to those lengths to stop/alter the Pentimento release.

I'd agree with them: Pentimento are awesome and they should be huge. I'm really looking forward to hearing this record and donating to these guys.
