I'm all for new ways for bands to connect to their fans (and creating new revenue streams in the process), but when the band in question is Mudvayne, and the new idea is so confusing and filled with corporate sponsorship that after four reads of the press release, I still have no idea what the promotion is, I'm a little worried that the motivations might not be all that genuine.
