Josh Freese's innovative ways of promoting his record Options

[dangum]

Josh Freese used to be the drummer for such bands as Nine Inch Nails, A Perfect Circle and Devo and now has released his own album. He's got a very innovative way of promoting it though. You can download it for $7, $15 gets you a CD/DVD copy, $50 gets you a CD/DVD copy, t-shirt plus a 5 minute personal phone call from the man himself!
$250 gets you a CD/DVD, signed drumstick plus lunch with Josh at P.F Changs.
and on it goes up to a $75,000 package...

I guess you can say the promotion has worked... I'd heard of the guy but didn't know he was making his own music... maybe this is something Live could investigate...

If you pay $250 and live on a different continent, who travels to the dinner? Either he loses a lot of money or you get ripped.

I think the autographed stuff is a neat idea, but the rest is really stupid.
