I was just chatting with someone via IM about the new album, Goodbye Planet Earth, and I realized that most of the album’s production has been paid for by people who haven’t even heard the music yet. They’ve paid a premium up front simply because they have faith that I’ll create something worth buying, and they want it signed.

I am simply amazed at how cool my fans are, and sometimes it doesn’t hit me until I try to explain it to someone else.
