Andy McKee provides examples of the following tropes:

One Man Band: YMMV
One of Us: Hobby other than playing guitar? Playing video games.
Signature Song: "Drifting" is starting to turn out this way.
Take That: Personally went on The Pirate Bay and mimicked their comments so they'll stop downloading his album.

Andy: "Yeah thanks a lot for uploading! It's not like I need to make a living with my music or anything. 8,676 thieves. If you really appreciate what I am doing, buy my CD legitimately so I can continue to compose music rather than work at K-Mart. I'm not Metallica. I don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars, much less millions. Andy Mckee"
