(UPDATED) Devo and session drummer [Josh Freese](http://joshfreese.com/?ref=hypebot.com) got a lot ink in 2009 for his tongue in cheek yet effective fan packages and [outspoken take](https://www.hypebot.com/indie-musician-josh-freese-on-diy-variable-pricing-promo-more/) on the music industry is back at it with new offerings that start at $5.000 and top out at $7500 for for his latest release, My New Friends. **For $75,000, one fan gets:**

- Josh to join their band for a month (or becomes your personal assistant)
- They can take home one of Josh's drum sets
- Josh writes and records a 5 song EP entirely about them
- Take Shrooms and cruise Hollywood in Danny from TOOL's Lamborghini.
- 500 copies of "My New Friends" (start your own online CD store…specializing in just this one CD)
- Go get matching outfits at Tommy Bahama's and make everybody very sad.

“My biggest hope and fear is that someone buys the 75K one and \[I'll\] have to go join some guy’s band for a month, write a whole record about him, take shrooms with him and cruise Danny Carey’s Lamborghini, etc.,” Freese told [Wired.com](http://www.wired.com/underwire/2011/04/josh-freese-my-new-friends/?ref=hypebot.com). “Worst of all we have to go get matching Tommy Bahamas outfits. I doubt that one sells though…. Thank god.”
