George Lucas noted recently that he has become exactly what he fought against for years when he was starting out.
Perhaps Meat has no interest to do this.
I know quite a few artists who do everything themselves now, usually except for physical CD/DVD/Blu Ray distribution as that is a tricky thing without having the right contacts. Often artists will outsource that to a famous distribution company and they get a percentage of the cut. There is really no reason Meat couldn't do this if he wanted to in my opinion. He would certainly be more in control of the music and when things get released. There are lots of online resources to help you get this of the ground and to get at least your music distributed easily on Amazon / I-tunes and most other online retailers. Without a record company pushing the record yourself becomes part of the game which will include developing your own online strategy. Meat would need a better website I think and a dedicated webmaster to update it every day around the album release and thereafter and take care of social networking. I think it's quite possible but you need to have the interest to do it properly I think.
Don't forget he has a major interest in acting too, there's only so many hours in the day.
No Red Pony please.
Fire Ball records is good.
