Mind you, I think it's an important part of marketing, but he's just never been able to bring himself to do this kind of thing before.... he's always been about 'the music will either sell itself or it won't'. I have to wonder if he'd been more willing to do more of this "shameless self-promotion" (which is how I think he would have seen it in the past, and maybe still does  ) if some of his earlier solo work would have gotten a bit more traction with a wider audience |
lol he's adorable how awkward he is in these... "it's a picture of... me?"
bunch of tweets from him after this too, asnwering some pretty interesting questions.
