Q: please do a video of got to know whats going on next!! i know, an entirely new piece would be great too and everyone would enjoy the shit out of it. i just really feel like that song needs a video. no, it deserves a video. im scared that if you do the new thing, theres not gonna be a video. im only writing this because you seem unsure of your next step. it probably won't matter in the end
A: at this point, i have fully re-realized the importance of doing videos for songs. this is clearly illustrated in the fact that everyone thinks that movie star is a brand new song, everyone wants longer versions of the steve songs, and hardly anyone has heard of 'got to know what's going on.' most people never heard of movie star before the video. it is common knowledge that videos are vitally important for song publicity, and i have known this for a long time, but earlier this year i was hooked on the idea that i could do them without videos, for a simple reason which is that i can do songs about 4 times faster if i skip the video. this is a tempting strategy, but as i said i'm currently back in the viewpoint that videos are needed. what i'm trying to say is, i highly doubt that my next project will be a videoless song. it might be a new song together with a video, or it might be something completely different
