  Pushing Buttons - In Depth - theage.com.au
A former dressmaker, Boulton has collected millions of buttons since opening her first business in 1995, from 1940s glass, hand-embroidered and bakelite buttons, to ceramic, vegetable ivory, sterling silver and, among the most extraordinary, a set of six hand-painted silk buttons from the early 1900s made for a wedding that never eventuated.
Nearly all of Boulton's buttons are for sale, although recently she set some aside for display in a planned public button museum.
Buttons are then sold by weight: $60 a kilo, which translates to about 3 cents a button."They become part of your family," says Boulton of her many customers.

As civilized human beings, of course, we know we don't have to give in to impulse and act when our buttons are pushed, but it's very, very difficult to avoid paying attention when it happens.
In our search for mind viruses, then, our first candidates will be situations that push one or more of these four buttons—anger, fear, hunger, and lust—and thus draw our attention, our precious attention, to a use of our consciousness for which, upon reflection, we would not choose to spend it.

 Pushing Red Buttons - Pushing Red Buttons - Self Produced   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Pushing Red Buttons 2003 is actually, with the exception of Herrig and guitarist, vocalist, producer Rich Gaglia, a completely different band than Norman Fell cum PRB 2001-02.
The oddest, and indeed greatest thing about Pushing Red Buttons is that the band never seems like it’s trying to be anything: they’re not trying to be weird, adventurous or retro, that’s just the way they are.
But, Pushing Red Buttons will continue to grow with or without me. And as their star continues to rise, I just hope the freshness, originality and attitude that makes them who they are remains intact.

 Pushing Red Buttons
Coming across like a modern mix of 10cc and They Must Be Giants, Pushing Red Buttons are a complete contrast to the guitar based depressing music I love so much.
Whereas I found 10cc slightly annoying (they were known more a novelty band by passing acquaintances in the UK - rather than the talented multi-instrumentalists and songwriters they really were), Pushing Red Buttons are infectious in their enthusiasm.
It's kind of a modern equivalent of 70s/80s technical keyboard rock like Supertramp/Todd Rundgren but I think the world needs Pushing Red Buttons as a break from the some of the formulas that are played to death currently.

Both bands are playing and singing melodic pop songs about girls, the beach and the sun, but Pushing Red Buttons are a bit heavier on the electric guitars and portraying a wry wit rather than the staid lyrics of the Beach Boys.

Unable to settle on any one sound, Pushing Red Buttons apparently decided to combine numerous genres.
