not neccessarily.
(I spelt that wrong, didnt I?)
If they really were to put a lot of substancial info in these videos, they could hardly cover one week, without giving away everything. At the moment he's posting about two vids a day, and at that rate you cant really put more info in. Besides this is a video blog, not a documentary, so it's purpose is not to inform, it's to give an impression of the recording process.
And besides, I said this is done for
publicity reasons, not for
marketing reasons. That's a difference. If it was for marketing, they'd try to enlarge the group of possible album buyers, while these videos only help his image.
He might win a lot of twitter freaks over as fans by this, or at least people who were casual fans/interested in his music so far. So theyd stay faithful, look for updates and
might consider to buy the album.
Let's face it: 99% of people who know there's a new album coming out are either on this site, or on twitter.
