very true, but all the above is done for some form of exposure...but I suppose if you're crazy enough to eat kangaroo body parts then you deserve all you get (including a lot of mouthwash)

I was replying to a post suggesting that such appearances were done simply for exposure. Meat has said repeatedly that this was not the reason he agreed to take part, and has said that any incidental "exposure" is to him more of a disadvantage than a benefit. He had been asked several times to be on the show and refused. He has given his reasons for finally deciding to accept, and to me they ring true. I do not believe he did it to promote anything, or out of a desire to see himself in a spotlight. He is in that with great success every time he steps on stage

In my view he was motivated by three things; the oportunity to win a large sum for a charity he feels very strongly about, his competitive drive, and the chance to learn through being tested. Promotion and/or exposure had nothing to do with it imo .. so we will need to agree to disagree.

***UPDATE *** My beloved husband has stopped flashing four fingers at me and... lol ... yes, they are still intact !!! ...

I'm still happy for Meat winning money for his charity, but still have no desire to watch the show. I am looking forward to next week's announcement of who will be appearing on Dancing With The Stars. I like that show very much.

Go out and make it a great day because only you can !!!

tink ... peacing out ... xo

They are just doing promos and am all ready being hounded in airports more than normal.

Good luck ! I hope it gets released and is a big hit for you

Evil One · 27 Feb 2011, 22:47

Won't it be a bit odd for anyone who hears Prize Fight Lover on the radio, to then buy the album and not have the track on it?

no , because it will be added to the album, along with spoken parts of the short story before some songs ,(for those who don't read) the way it is live. then put on i tunes. This show isn't over. if we get airplay . they will re-lease.
only in America right now !!

Evil One · 27 Feb 2011, 23:19

Interesting. It should never have been left off the album in the first place. Along with Testify and Blind As A Bat it is by far the best thing you've put out since Bat 2.

Awesome news!! PFL is by far the best song in the history of the universe. Well, from the Hang Cool sessions anyway

Looking forward to hearing the re-release!

Doode.

I'm so pleased that you are continuing to push this fantastic album for all it's worth. You know that it hasn't yet received the recognition that it deserves and I love your determination to change that if you can. Keep going with it Meat, and I hope that you get the end result that you are hoping for.

realViking · 28 Feb 2011, 00:07

Here in Norway, not many people have heard of your latest album HCTB.
And that is A shame. The songs haven`t been played on tv or in the Radio...
Didn`t you Promote the Album in Norway,meat?

Thought you were already there

No turning back the hands of time now. Just brace yourself and your poor inbox for the notoriety. Perhaps saying "yes" is the sacrifice that HCTB needs to get it's due recognition, beginning with it's father getting a little

. Come out of the shadows long enough to fight the crowded airport/grocery store for HCTB to be in the spotlight....then the timing could look like you could build Handbasket off the momentum

.

Thanks for giving us a glimpse inside the plans.

THAT is amazing!!! Do it!!!!

Meat - You have to get it on Clear Channel's play lists. Talked with a local DJ who was dying to play If I Can't Have You, but Clear Channel did not pick it up. Rock it huge Fire Ball...this is the kind of fight I like to see!!!!

Meat did his bit .. ran himself ragged round Europe and gave a playback session for the Norwegian media (I'm sure someone here secured an invite and reported back). How much push the label invest, and how creatively, is another matter. Getting airplay in any country seems to be difficult for Meat's releases now, although he had good airplay on BBC radio2 here and was in the their top 10 playlist for 3 weeks.

Like Lisa, I'm glad Meat's still pushing to get HCTB the recognition it deserves .. though I never doubted he would

As he said many years ago .. "I'm a train ...", and there's plenty of power in that engine still

That's great news! hopefully the show will help secure PFL on radio, it is a superb song and I have no doubt it will catch interest, if they push it hard and get it heard

Yes, I saw on he`s Twitters that he had been promoting here in Norway.....
Thats why it is so weard that I`v never heard the album on radio or other places over here.
Mabye thats why he`s not Touring here in Norway, Couse he`s not so well known as he Is in the UK..
So I guess I just have to travel to UK or the US to see A consert. Will I do It? YES I WILL!!!!
