	Track 7 from 40 oz Of Freedom Length: 00:03:05 Year: 1992
	Track Description: "There's no doubt about it. We picked up several from different parts of the planet, took them aboard our recon vessels, and probed them all the way through. They're completely meat." "That's impossible. What about the radio signals? The messages to the stars?" "They use the radio waves to talk, but the signals don't come from them. The signals come from machines." "So who made the machines? That's who we want to contact." SHOW LESS
3	RJD2 : Chicken-Bone Circuit
	"They made the machines. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Meat made the machines." "That's r [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 10 from Deadringer Length: 00:03:54 Year: 2002
	Track Description: "They made the machines. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Meat made the machines." "That's ridiculous. How can meat make a machine? You're asking me to believe in sentient meat." "I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. These creatures are the only sentient race in that sector and they're made out of meat." "Maybe they're like the orfolei. You know, a carbon-based intelligence that goes through a meat stage." SHOW LESS
4	Jeff Beck : Goodbye Pork Pie Hat
	"Nope. They're born meat and they die meat. We studied them for several of their life spans, which didn't take [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 3 from Wired Length: 00:05:30 Year: 1976
	Track Description: "Nope. They're born meat and they die meat. We studied them for several of their life spans, which didn't take long. Do you have any idea what's the life span of meat?" "Spare me. Okay, maybe they're only part meat. You know, like the weddilei. A meat head with an electron plasma brain inside." "Nope. We thought of that, since they do have meat heads, like the weddilei. But I told you, we probed them. They're meat all the way through." "No brain?" SHOW LESS
5	Sean Lennon : Dead Meat
	"Oh, there's a brain all right. It's just that the brain is made out of meat! That's what I've been trying to [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 1 from Friendly Fire Length: 00:03:37 Year: 2006
	Track Description: "Oh, there's a brain all right. It's just that the brain is made out of meat! That's what I've been trying to tell you." "So ... what does the thinking?" "You're not understanding, are you? You're refusing to deal with what I'm telling you. The brain does the thinking. The meat." "Thinking meat! You're asking me to believe in thinking meat!" SHOW LESS
6	Beastie Boys : 5-Piece Chicken Dinner
	"Yes, thinking meat! Conscious meat! Loving meat. Dreaming meat. The meat is the whole deal! Are you beginning [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 8 from Paul's Boutique Length: 00:00:23 Year: 1989
	Track Description: "Yes, thinking meat! Conscious meat! Loving meat. Dreaming meat. The meat is the whole deal! Are you beginning to get the picture or do I have to start all over?" "Omigod. You're serious then. They're made out of meat." "Thank you. Finally. Yes. They are indeed made out of meat. And they've been trying to get in touch with us for almost a hundred of their years." "Omigod. So what does this meat have in mind?" SHOW LESS
7	Meat Puppets : Enchanted Porkfist
	"First it wants to talk to us. Then I imagine it wants to explore the Universe, contact other sentiences, swap [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 9 from Up on the Sun Length: 00:02:29 Year: 1985
	Track Description: "First it wants to talk to us. Then I imagine it wants to explore the Universe, contact other sentiences, swap ideas and information. The usual." "We're supposed to talk to meat." "That's the idea. That's the message they're sending out by radio. 'Hello. Anyone out there. Anybody home.' That sort of thing." "They actually do talk, then. They use words, ideas, concepts?" SHOW LESS
8	Primus : Shake Hands With Beef
	"Oh, yes. Except they do it with meat." "I thought you just told me they used radio." [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 5 from Brown Album Length: 00:04:03 Year: 1997
	Track Description: "Oh, yes. Except they do it with meat." "I thought you just told me they used radio." "They do, but what do you think is on the radio? Meat sounds. You know how when you slap or flap meat, it makes a noise? They talk by flapping their meat at each other. They can even sing by squirting air through their meat." "Omigod. Singing meat. This is altogether too much. So what do you advise?" SHOW LESS
9	White Zombie : El Phantasmo and The Chicken-Run Blast-O-Rama
	"Officially or unofficially?" "Both." "Officially, we are required to contact, w [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 9 from Asto Creep 2000 -- Songs of Love, Destruction, and Other Synthetic Delusions of the Electric Head Length: 00:04:13 Year: 1995
	Track Description: "Officially or unofficially?" "Both." "Officially, we are required to contact, welcome and log in any and all sentient races or multibeings in this quadrant of the Universe, without prejudice, fear or favor. Unofficially, I advise that we erase the records and forget the whole thing." "I was hoping you would say that." SHOW LESS
10	Stone Temple Pilots : Meat Plow
	"It seems harsh, but there is a limit. Do we really want to make contact with meat?" "I agree o [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 1 from Purple Length: 00:03:37 Year: 1994
	Track Description: "It seems harsh, but there is a limit. Do we really want to make contact with meat?" "I agree one hundred percent. What's there to say? 'Hello, meat. How's it going?' But will this work? How many planets are we dealing with here?" "Just one. They can travel to other planets in special meat containers, but they can't live on them. And being meat, they can only travel through C space. Which limits them to the speed of light and makes the possibility of their ever making contact pretty slim. Infinitesimal, in fact." "So we just pretend there's no one home in the Universe." SHOW LESS
11	Subtle : Song Meat.
	"That's it." "Cruel. But you said it yourself, who wants to meet meat? And the ones who have be [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 1 from A New White Length: 00:04:36 Year: 2004
	Track Description: "That's it." "Cruel. But you said it yourself, who wants to meet meat? And the ones who have been aboard our vessels, the ones you probed? You're sure they won't remember?" "They'll be considered crackpots if they do. We went into their heads and smoothed out their meat so that we're just a dream to them." "A dream to meat! How strangely appropriate, that we should be meat's dream." SHOW LESS
12	Bush : Dead Meat
	"And we marked the entire sector unoccupied." "Good. Agreed, officially and unofficially. Case [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 10 from The Science Of Things Length: 00:04:16 Year: 1999
	Track Description: "And we marked the entire sector unoccupied." "Good. Agreed, officially and unofficially. Case closed. Any others? Anyone interesting on that side of the galaxy?" "Yes, a rather shy but sweet hydrogen core cluster intelligence in a class nine star in G445 zone. Was in contact two galactic rotations ago, wants to be friendly again." "They always come around." SHOW LESS

Thats the whole story, but it might be worth checking out some of his other material. I've been meaning to do that myself.

Is this the whole short story in the liner notes?
If not, please tell me where I can read more.

Despite the fact that TEAM ROBOT was crushed like a Pabst can at a frat party by the might claws of TEAM MONSTER, you are still deserving of a badge... Loser.
