This article was my laugh of the morning…

THe Nine inch Nails band have lead the way in free online music downloads – they make their money by bunding more valuable stuff with the downloads that fans are prepared to buy.  Josh Freese the former NIN drummer is promoting his album with a range of product categories based around the (obviously) free dowwnload.  Here are the bundle baluations from $7 add in 3 video downloads; $15 CD double disc set; $50 add a t shirt and a phone call from Josh;….. the list goes on a bit up to a $75,000 limited edition of 1 that includes 

* Signed CD/DVD and digital download
* T-shirt
* Go on tour with Josh for a few days
* Have Josh write, record and release a 5-song EP about you and your life story
* Take home any of his drum sets (only one, but you can choose which one)
* Take shrooms and cruise Hollywood in Danny from Tool’s Lamborghini OR play quarters and then hop on the Ouija board for a while
* Josh will join your band for a month … play shows, record, party with groupies, etc.
* If you don’t have a band he’ll be your personal assistant for a month (4-day work weeks, 10 am to 4 pm)
* Take a limo down to Tijuana and he’ll show you how it’s done (what that means exactly we can’t legally get into here)
* If you don’t live in Southern California (but are a U.S. resident) he’ll come to you and be your personal assistant/cabana boy for 2 weeks
* Take a flying trapeze lesson with Josh and Robin from NIN, go back to Robins place afterwards and his wife will make you raw lasagna

now i'm thinking what on earth would i put into that category that someone might be prepared to pay for…..(stay at my mum's wonderful old house; free Vann Fest tickets; go rowing / sculling with me and get coached by a world famous rowing coach; get my infalliable lemon ice cream recipe….)
