$0.01 Meet the Meat

Posted by Andrew R Tonry on Tue, Mar 11 at 5:10 PM

HO-LY SHIT!

I was thumbing through the 1 cent CD’s on Amazon.com, looking for something to make fun of. Little did I know I’d find a TOTAL FUCKING GEM and ACTUALLY BUY IT!

The CD I ordered, for just one measly penny (ok, shipping too) is BAT OUT OF HELL! The fucking real deal, original Meatloaf. None of this Bat Out Of Hell 2 shit. It’s really an awesome album. Every single song has like, eight crescendos—absolutely epic. This is driving music if there ever was any. It’s perfect for you and a buddy (you’ve got to learn the words) ramming around town at high speed on a Thursday afternoon with a buzz.

“And the LAST Thing I saw (oh, and we’re shouting it out the windows at people we pass by) was my HEART STILL A-BEATING / Breaking outta my body / and flyin’ away / like a BAT OUT OF HELLLLLL!”

Oh man. What a familiar scene. It was something we did often, that is, until I lost the cassette. (Something about Bat Out of Hell is better to have on cassette…) But I don’t have that car, nor a tape player anymore. So we’re going to have to upgrade.

Just in time for spring. Fuck. Yeah.

You too can join in the fun for only ONE CENT! DO IT NOW! You won’t be sorry!
