Well, I’m not sure what happened to the rest of the End Hits staff… Two ideas: 1: they all went to SXSW and left me to stay in dreary Portland and rob their houses. 2: holed up in their bedrooms listening to emo they finally slit their wrists. Could go either way on this one, but no matter. We don’t need them. Know why?

BECAUSE IT’S MEAT WEEK!

That’s right. Yesterday’s discovery of Bat Out of Hell on sale for 1 cent at amazon.com has unleashed a river of Meat!

And what a time to do it — I just found out that the new Meat-u-mentary, Meat Loaf: In Search of Paradise, is coming out today! Check out this amazing quote from the review. Meat, talking to a backup dancer about her wardrobe, says, “Less hooker, more Studio 54!” Man, what a ruthless Meat-down!

Here’s the trailer for In Search of Paradise:

Oh, and in regard to my earlier post about the saggy album sales of hipsters MGMT and Yeasayer… well, Loaf’s Bat Out of Hell has sold over 37 MILLION copies! MEAT THAT!
