Oh Caryl, who is saying bad things about Unsaid?? I haven't heard negatives about it. I haven't got the single yet, as you know, but I've had an MP3 of it for quite a while and I think it's a beautiful song!! Sad, very sad, as are many on this album, but you're so right. Meat's voice is amazing! I'm sorry to hear that some folks don't like it!
You're also right! I haven't bought a single, myself, for more years than I care to think about. And if that is the common attitude now, then there has to be some kind of special incentive to get people to go out and buy this one!! Excellent point, Caryl!! Perhaps, on some of these posters which are being passed around, something needs to be added about the extra song and video???? What do you all think?
JM!! Hi! How are you? Thanks for coming back here. And a very BIG thank you for explaining about how your soccer leagues work. I'm a total dork when it comes to these things. Do you have the word "dork" in the UK?? Maybe it's an American expression. I don't know. But anyway, now it makes perfect sense why the reviewer was so surprised that Meat liked this club!!
Now, I wish he HAD explained why he supported them. I guess there was some confusion during the interview AFTER he was asked the 'Why' question, so he never got around to answering it.
So, how are you doing? Are you still checking your area for singles for us? The last time we heard from you, there weren't any around. I hope that's changed now, JM. I hope that changes for everyone! Right, Dottie!!!! Next week I hope that every store which wants to stock it, will have the copies it needs!!! Okay. Okay. I can DREAM, can't I?!!
Dottie: That's a LARGE area you're talking about! Why in the world has this happened?? Who's the idiot (or idiots) behind this fiasco?? And there's Meat out 'busting his butt,' trying to make up for it! Us, too, huh?!!
Woolworth's used to be a huge chain in the US, too. I am assuming they are one and the same--with the same name, obviously. I can't speak for the rest of the country. It's been quite a while since I've been back east or to the midwest, where I grew up. There were always Woolworth stores around.
But I haven't seen or heard of them for such a long time--maybe they just moved out of the western section of the country and they still exist elsewhere in the US.
I do think it's a real stupid policy to only stock for 12 year olds, though. I mean, 12 year olds don't normally have a lot of disposable income, do they? Don't you think that stores would want to try to reach the age bracket that has the most free money to spend??
Have times changed so drastically, while I wasn't looking??!! Do 12 years old these days have a lot of money??!!
Crazy policies...Well, once CHSIB hits the Top Ten, either this week or next, EVERY store is going to want to carry it!!!
Hi, Mariella!!! Listen, you've been working really hard for all these days now. No one could ask more of you. So, don't worry about it. The phone calls and emails you're doing ARE making a difference. I know it!!
As for the charts, I honestly don't think we're going to hear anything this week. Especially since it's a holiday weekend. When we were busy watching the German charts to see how Meat was doing there, they would get their early sneak reports on Wednesday and the finals would come out on Friday. Now, I have no idea if the UK works their charts in the same way. But, since it's already late on a Saturday and we haven't heard anything and since tomorrow is Easter, it's very likely we won't be able to find out anything until sometime next week.
Unless, as you say, Meat comes along with some information....
In the meantime, we'll just continue to continue and do the best we can here.
Sin, I'm glad you're back. I wanted to ask everyone here what they want to do about tomorrow? I know that it's a family day, for the most part (at least, that's the way it works out over here). So, would it be good for all of us to take the day off for Easter, since many won't be able to come, anyway??
Or do you want to work a parttime day?? Please write in and tell us what you think or what would be best for you and your situation. I know that Meat would certainly understand because of the holiday. And if you all do want to take the day off, then, we'll start in bright and early on Monday.
So, please give it some thought and let's put our heads together and decide what's best. Okay?
