Finally, "smart musician" is not an oxymoron: witness the marketing genius of session drummer Josh Freese. Although he has a patchy musical history, toeing the line between "ugh" (Kelly Clarkson, being in the same hemisphere--never mind the same room--as Axl for Chinese Democracy), and "cool!"(Tool, NIN), Josh has come up with a great way to market himself and his new album, Since 1972.
Depending on how much you pay, you get cool perks like a day in a flotation tank with Josh (I'm assuming it's not the same tank, mind you), a classy meal at the Sizz, or, my personal favorite, for $75G, a cruise in one of Tool's Lamborghini's while high on shrooms. I'm assuming you're not doing the driving on this last one, or $75G begins to seem like a bargain.
Well, kudos to you, Mr. Freese, and some more free publicity for you new album, which I've yet to hear... but no matter.
