Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this article from exploremusic.com's Alan Cross:

The Ultimate Choice in an Album
Tuesday, February 24, 2009

Josh Freese is a pretty solid drummer. Not only has he worked with Nine Inch Nails, but he’s also been part of A Perfect Circle, Suicidal Tendencies, Guns N’ Roses, Chris Cornell and Paul Westerberg, but he’s also a writes and records his own music.

Truthfully, he hasn’t done anything since 2000 when he released a record on the Kung Fu label called “The Notorious One Man Orgy.” But now he’s ready with a new record called “Since 1972.”

Releasing a solo album in today’s environment is tough enough, but a solo record by a drummer? Good luck. There’s only so much karma of that sort to go around and Dave Grohl has sucked it all up.

But Josh has a plan. Like his master in NIN, Josh plans to market this record in unusual and strange ways. He’s all about the tiered pricing plan, offering fans different price points for “Since 1972,” depending on the individual fan’s need for engagement with him.

Ready for this?

For $7, you get a digital download which includes three videos

For $15, you get a CD and DVD double set, plus the digital download.

For $50, you get the CD, the DVD, a t-shirt and a “thank you” phone call from josh himself. You get five minutes to talk about whatever you’d like!

For $250, you get the CD, the DVD, the digital download, a signed t-shirt, a signed drum head and some sticks plus and a lunch date with Josh at a reasonably-price family restaurant. There are only 25 of those available.

The $500 package includes the CD the DVD, the digital download, a t-shirt, a signed drum head sticks and a cymbal. Josh will then either do your laundry or wash your car. Then it’s off to dinner aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California.

And the night ends with you getting drunk and cutting each other’s hair in the parking lot of the long beach court house, which will be posted on YouTube. Naturally.

For $2500, you get the CD, the DVD, the digital download, private drum lessons, a personal tour through the Hollywood Wax museum with Josh and either a member of the Vandals or Devo (depending on whose available), a nice dinner and a signed snare drum.

Finally, you get to take three things out of his closet while he prepares diapers and bottles for the babies before your night out on the sunset strip.

Then there’s a $5000 package (3 of them) which includes most of the above plus Josh will write a song about you and make it available on iTunes.

He’s also thrown in a YouTube video, a private tour of Disneyland and a letter from Stone Gossard of Pearl Jam telling you about his favourite song from “Since 1972.”

DancingAngelRachelle ~ greetings. zee artist/designer, here, with a bit of clarification. i.e me thinks that the blog caption or moby's hypnotic super powers might have distracted. the character isn't meant to represent sir handsome...the 6th icon is merely meant to represent a suggested "hairstyle" (or in this case lack thereof) inspired (!) by moby...as in 'afro' or 'beehive' or 'pageboy'. (moby's facial structure is indeed entirely different plus i believe that the man doth possess green winkers.)

;)

TheGodmother ~ awesome. thanks.

and gracias to moby for spreadin' some mucho gracious LSF love.

That's a really original idea for a poster. :) Hands down to the artist. It's certain it will be a blast. Any chance we might see some new drawings from you? (hint hint)...That section too has not been updated in eons...

You have a much sharper jaw line and your face isn't that wide. Whomever the cartoon artist is, they need to get a new perscription of glasses or contacts, because he or she cannot see you rightfully giggles....
