No such material exists.EVERY REPORTER EVER: Hey, Shane, how about new material? You working hard?SHANE: Oh, yeah, 'course, yeah. Like, er, yeah. Um. Every song's gonna have "paddy" in the title. And Rick Rubin's... an okay producer, isn't he?Do you mean it was never recorded, or that there's been no new songs since The Crock? What's your source there?

However, as I have no desire to inflate the auction price either way, I must stress that I don't actually know this to be the case.Very true, and I should stress that I Don't Know Anything.

After the first few weeks of release the Facebook group appears to be moribund, IRL & Victoria & Siobhan seem to have stopped promoting it, etc. There's no talk of sustaining a chart position, of garnering "celebrity tweets," of a "friendly competition between the singles, with the Haitians winning," etc.Perhaps this is just showing my lack of experience with how a single is released and promoted, but it seems really odd that a charity single would be considered exhausted and defunct after its first week. Shouldn't there be a constant ongoing effort to get this (and the other charity singles) in front of people? Shouldn't there be a small effort spent to extend the long tail as long as possible? I get the impression that this is not the case. What appears to be done is to push a release out the door with much fanfare and then immediately drop it off a cliff. Is this REALLY how the music and charity industries are run? Am I missing the constant drum-beat of promotion that is happening elsewhere in the world?
