He also does cool videos and even tv commercials. Like Madonna he plays to the current music environment. I don't know if FM members nixed it or the label didn't want to put much promotion into it, but a couple of good videos could have helped a lot, preferably videos that didn't focus on the band as much, but that showcased the songs in an interpretive way. The EJ one mentioned before is a good example.
