<<Honestly, i hope NOT! I really do hate when he plays festivals or big
music shows put on by radio stations. I missed him the last time he was
here because i refused to go to the show put on by 107.7 because it was
not worth travelling so far to see only one act on a huge bill.
I want to see him headlining, by himself, at a relatively intimate club --
hopefully a 21+ venue. Puuullllleeeeaaaase! I'll give my first born for
it...
>>
I'm going to one of the festivals. The one in San Francisco. I don't really know what to expect. We will be in seats, he'll probably play in mid afternoon, and most of the people there won't like him. Probably not the best atmosphere to enjoy a Moby show. I'd love for him to do am intimate club tour. Not 21+ though, because I'm underage. I understand though, teenagers can be annoying :)

K, I rarely do this. But I am gonna give the stats.
Courtney Anne Pope, 22 years old
San Diego & outside San Francisco (time split between both)
Lots of goodies in my Moby collection. Basically, everything. Except maxi-singles and remix stuff. I don't like that, it irritates me for some reason
- Fave Moby album. Def. Everything is Wrong. But I must say " PLay" is a gem. I have issues with the whole Moby follwing though just because of Bodyrock. I'm an old school fan. Best Moby song: Why does my heart..Shit ya, that's the best song
- Other artists. Well, I am broad. Electronica wise:
Groove Armada, DJ Shadow, Air, Underworld, Merz. I dunno, lots. As far as brit pop: Verve, Gomez, Stereophonics, Supergrass, Super Furry Animals.
I've been known to dabble in a little rockabilly on occasion. (Johnny Cash, Amazing Royal Crowns)
I'm a blend, baby.
Can I just tell you the funniest story ? So, my friend Dave worked for BMG in L.A. And he went with some peeps he worked with and met Moby at some Hollywood vegan restaraunt. So me being the starstruck Moby enthusiast,
says to Dave" Tell Richard/Moby I want to have his children". K, so I for sure didn't think Dave was really going to tell Moby this. But he did. And Moby says " Well, I am not sure I am capable of reproducing". I was really humiliated when Dave told him this, which was kinda a joke, and then proceeds to tell Moby to look me up in San Francisco, and gives him my digits. I think Moby was probably really frightened. But he did sign my Play cd for me and write to Courtney, Love Moby and drew a pic o' himself. I am really proud and ashamed at the same time. That's my Moby story.
did anyone else know that moby has sold all 18 songs from "play" to various third parties?
I have no problem with anybody selling their songs on to boost further profit on their work, especially when the music is quality , made with some sort of integrity. I do have a problem with people who record standardized, mediocre rubbish under the term of 'music' & then spread their shit as far as is possible. C'mon, surely you'd rather here an ad using a portion of 'Porcelin' than a complete Brittainy track.

Although i enjoyed reading the great majority of El's mail to the group I had a problem with the following segment - "...songs in their heads and others who don't
exactly send out a positive message..."
I don't believe in "positive" or "negative" connotations in songs/music. Music either does the wild thing for you or it doesn't. I get just as big a kick (in a diffrent way) from Moby as I do Iggy Pop, who over the years hasn't exactly been known for being "positive" or righteous in any form.
I was looking through the used "M" section at my local cd store the other day and found a promo (I assume since it says for promotional use only...) of the end of everything. I figured it's not everyday you find voodoo child used so I bought it. My track listing is patient love, great love, gentle love, honest love, slow motion suicide, dog heaven and reject. I looked on CDnow and there's was the same except that instead of reject they have animal sight. They also listed theres for $31 so I'm glad I got mine for $9. Well anyway, I can't figure out if I like it or not. Patient love gets on my nerves and some of the tracks can get redundant but I still really like most of it. Anyone have an opinion on it?

first of all. . . this "if we all vote on one day" thing never works, its just a waste of time. but, more importantly, why do you care whats on TRL and why would you wanna see moby amongst all that other crap???

Subject: (mobility) Moby show, my cat, and my cool mom
Date: 17 Jun 2000 11:42:27 -0700
Didn't check my mail for 1 1/2 days and there are over 90 new Mobility messages for me. It's good though, I enjoy them. So I'll catch up: yeah, moby's a good name for a cat. My cat's name is Mr. Bojangles. He's black and dances around a lot. My mom likes Moby too. She thinks his voice is sexy...don't we all.
Well I saw Moby yesterday in Mountain View CA (by San Jose) and it was great of coarse. Big radio show but I was surprised at the line up for the main stage: everclear, godsmack, third eye blind, cypress hill, offspring, moby, stp, limp bizkit. Wow, he was 3rd to last. He came on at 8:00 so I listened to some bands with my friends including Papa Roach who I now really hate. Incubus was fun though, I don't really like them but it was a good mosh.
Anyway...Moby was fantastic! Here's a nice quote from him: "There's about 17 bands here, am I right? And Greta is the only women here that I know of. And I think she could kick all these pussy cock rockers' asses." The crowd cheered...which I was quite surprised at because most of them stuck around for limp bizkit. Oh, another nice one: "There's something about standing in front of 20 or 30 thousand people that makes me want to masturbate. So if you'll excuse me for about 45 seconds I think I'll jack off now." And he did, no not literally, he did some musical masturbation-guitar riffs for a minute or so. He played my weakness, machete, bodyrock, ah-ah, porcelain, james bond theme, natural blues, and a big surprise...sweet child o mine-I love that song. I know he played more I just can't remember them all. A lot of the crowd was dancing by the end. I only heard 2 people saying "get off the stage!" I honestly expected more. Great show, my friend now loves moby, she has play and was asking me about his other cds. I told her to go get Everything is Wrong. Yea, now I have one friend that likes Moby!

Well I guess some of us went to BFD. I thought Moby kicked ass and apparently so does this reviewer:
"Moby: Seeing this techno and dance-music fugure play subtle and throbbing rock with a live band had to be the highlight of the day for anyone over 19 [+ me, I'm only 15].
He ran through material from his guitar-based 1996 album "Animal Rights," and did his 1997 reworking of the James Bond theme. But his funniest moment, after chastising the show for it's lack of women on stage, was playing Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child of Mine" as a romantic ballad.
There were hoots and curses up on the lawn, from impatient metal-types, whose sense of humor keaves after 10 beers. [LOL]
In 20 acts, there were only 2 women on stage: Moby's bass player, Greta Brinkman, and Snake River Conspiracy's singer, Tobey. "For a station that considers itself cutting-edge, I don't know how they can do something like this," said 16-year-old Liz Pollock of Hillsborough. Hint: Looking for hardcore female bands next year? Try Nashville Pussy, L7, Drain STH, Veruca Salt, Sleater-Kinney."

I found it interesting that Moby was the longest section in his review. This was interesting as well:
"Durst himself is a bit contradictory. Before the show he hung out in the parking lot with fans, encouraging them to not go into the military and supporting left-wing causes. All the time, he was wearing a New York Yankees' cap, a symbol of the biggest corporate monolith in all of sports."
Well yeah, I don't like Fred Durst or Limp Bizkit much. Have a nice night everyone.

Shirly not Marilyn. In the June issue of Q, I think we get it a bit late in the states.
"...certain rock stars who believe that it's in their interests to maintain the illusion of grandeur and power. Just as an example: I was at the Grammys a couple of weeks ago, presenting an award with Moby, and we were backstage and everything was cool and normal and down to earth and then suddenly that ludicrous Jennifer Lopez comes swanning around like she's the Queen of Sheba. Well, I'm sorry Jennifer, but Moby has sold as many records as you have. I've sold as many records as you have. Get off your fucking high horse and eat shit with the rest of us. A beautiful face but I want to punch it nevertheless."
I thought that was interesting.
