You really don't want to read this! No caffeine today, yet, just a bottle of Triple Ginseng & Schizandra tea. My inspiration was none other than a desire for message traffic...so I started a new msg not having any idea what I would write about. I was thinking about remixing them all together, but that's too much organization and work. Maybe I'll spew out a few more, who knows. I apologize to everyone who actually read that. Bye now!

To finally answer this question, yes, there is a Virgin Megastore in Las Vegas. Don't count on $6 CDs tho, the stuff they had advertised in Sweater was more in the $12 range. They had a sale in the second half of April, but obviously that's over now. Virgin Megastore also has locations in LA, NY, SF, Disney World, Vegas, Costa Mesa, Ontario Mills, Burbank, Long Island, Sacramento, Dallas, and Phoenix, and they have stores opening this year in Denver, Chicago, Miami, and New Orleans.

I thought for sure I was the only Mobility person there. But, lo and behold, not only was Ade there, but I actualy got to meet Darryl Cottier, a prime specimen of beefcake if I do say, and he bought a RIM *v.beta* sampler from me. I went to the NSoul stage a time or two. Mainly to see Joy Electric and a few new artists during the day. I didn't stay long though because the mud was so thick. I missed cloud2ground. Love the cd though. Great structures and melodies. If anyone else was there, email me and let's compare notes.

BSC ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Jul 1998 06:43:59 -0700 (PDT) From: Paul Simpson <techno_gpig@yahoo.com> Subject: (mobility) im back okay this is basically what i did during my vacation to the land of spongey grass, old people, heat, bugs, wildfires, and mickey mouse. as well as the happily wedded couple of erika and joe kaufmann. and yes it is moby related. we drove down to dc where my moms librarian convention was going on. i love going to these, you get to go around collecting free stuff like books and candy and pencils and paper and cds and stuff. plus they have internet rooms there. then we drove down to florida. it was weird, we just missed the fires. (you all know about the fires right?) i mean, while we were driving we could smell smoke and see burnt trees and even see fire. it was like, at 6am we were driving in a certain area, by noon that area was closed. that close. anyway i didnt go to magic kingdom like you people thought i did. i did that last year. i went to epcot. wait, didn't i say all that? and evn about the smart watermelon too? i dont want to repeat myself... well anyway heres something moby related...disney pipes in lots of atmosphere music everywhere i guess, and one time during the morning near the info desk, i swear i heard when its cold id like to die. the song playing had no words, but it was the exact same melody and it sounded exactly the same. maybe it was the instrumental version from eiw remix, which i still dont have. and actually, here's why i dont have it... we went shopping later on, and we came across this music store called Music 4 Less. talk about fraud, almost all the cds were like 15.99, how less is that? but there were a few bargains, like they had rare/go for 14.99, which was 2 less than what i paid for it at home. the import section, however, was good. actually it was more like an "imports we couldnt selll cuz they were too expensive so we slashed the prices" section. they had 2 moby cds: revolver remixes (w/ whip it dmv) for 10$. and they also had.......EIW Remix, $19. i was thinking, well thats the lowest price i ever saw for that. but i didnt get it. but i didnt pass it up for no good reason. they also had a ton of underworld imports, and they had a copy of second toughest for $18, and it came with a bonus disc. it only included two trax, (nuxx) and rez, but i didnt have those trax anyway. and besides, i couldnt find this cd domestically for much less than that price. plus it was marked down from 26.49. so tell me that wasnt worth passing up eiw remix. btw, i know there are tons of uw fans on this list. how rare is this special 2cd edition of second toughest that i just bought? if it is rare at all? it said limited edition on it... well anyway if anyone goes to orlando sometime soon, go to the belz factory outlet malls, and in mall 2, go to Music 4 less and you can get a buncha cheep moby cds! mall 2, btw, is the one that looks like a lowercase "m" in the "you are here" map, not the one that looks like a cross. but theres a music 4 less in mall 1 also, so maybe that one has some good stuff too. and then came the real reason we went to florida: the wedding. i kept wondering, why does wedding music suck? why do love songs always have to be mushy? oh well. they did play some good music, like for the first two hours while we were eating, they played dave matthews band _under the table..._ (twice) which was cool cuz dave matthews rocks. but for the rest of the reception, like all the music sucked. of course, like all the cds they had there sucked too. they had like marky mark and mc hammer and crap. they did have a copy of lisence to ill tho. these kids kept bugging the dj to play "brass monkey"...and they eventually played it! well at least they didnt play the macarena, or that stupid song from titanic. or the chicken dance. but they didnt play any techno either, of course it wouldve been weird if they did. actually once i went to a wedding and they had a prodigy single and i kept requesting they play it, and when they finally did, it was a remix by the chemical brothers, which was cool except i like the original version way better and i requested the original verison too. oh well. at least they played something slightly good. of course the real reson to go to a wedding reception is the food of course. not the music. well anyway, while we were going home, i saw this billboard near atlanta. it said, in huge letters, MOBY! i guess moby is the name of a dj. it also said 105.1 FM Kicks Morning weekdays. and while i saw that i was listening to why cant it stop. ha. btw, i now have a favorite hamburger restaurant. its called krystal method! it's kind of like whitecastle that we have here up north, with like really small burgers and all, except its down south, and the waitresses stand behind tons of black boxes and ocasionally push a few buttons and eventually you get your food. haha. does anyone get that one at all? never mind... anyway, we went to chatanooga tennesee to look at some choo choos, when we found the public library. mom went in to check if they had any of her books. i checked the computer to see if they had any moby cds. i rthought i was checking by author, but i guess when you type soemthing in the computer it searches subject author and title. well i found 28 copies of moby dick, 1 book about moby dick, but nothing by moby. well i dont think anyone in tenessee has heard of moby anyway so no surprise there. then i saw they had internet computers, so i checked my email. 64 new messages!?!?!? well thats what you get when you dont check yr email for a week. and i wrote ryu and (whoever was looking for a prodigy list) when i was there. then we went to alabama and went in this cave that stays at like 58 degrees Farenheit all year. cool. then we went to knoxville. cuz like, anyone who watches the simpsons a lot knows why we had to go to knoxville: to knock over the sunsphere! actually, for all you simpsons fans who remember the episode when bart and his friends went to knoxville, and they went to the sunsphere and it was practically dead there, thats really what it was like. i mean, the area around the sunsphere looked nothing like it did on the simpsons, but the town was just dead. like all the restaurants were closed, the sunsphere was closed, we couldnt go in there. every store was closed. actaully, i heard there was a curfew there or something. but even still, it was a few hours early. so we were searching for a place to eat when we stopped at..an arbys! theres another simpsons joke...in another episode, when the kids get stranded on an island, sherry or terry (one of those anoying twins) says "i'm so hungry i could eat at arbys!" and everyones like "whoah, she's hungry!" well i like arbys anyway. okay now i have some moby ?s/polls/etc. one of my favorite moby songs is slight return. i notice nobody ever talks about this song. what does everyone else think about this song? and also, who sings in first cool hive? i mean i know there are no words but someone is still singing. is it mimi? and also, what does mimi look like? when i picture someone to match that voice, for some reason i see alain morisette. eek. and one more thing......i have another poll for yall. whats everyones fave cds so far this year? since the year is already half over... everyone give me a top 3 (or so...whatever.) and i'll compile it into a big list. give me at least a top 3. and give it to me, not the list. heres my list: 1. various artists _thanks_ 2. goldie _saturnzreturn_ 3. ryu _power made flesh_ heres a few more...like honorable mention... dj spooky _synthetic fury_ xero products _lull _ (demo) david holmes, _lets get killed_ and theres a ton of cds i havent heard this year as always, like massive attack, morcheeba, i could go on and on... well anyway you can count bootlegs/cdrs/your own music/etc. and imports and stuff like that. well i cantwait to hear from you all! i would like as many responses as possible. and plaese, to me, not the list. theyll be due an my birthday (july 26) and ill compile them shortly after. i want as much cooperation as possible!!!!!!! okay i guess thats all. this concludes the paul simpson digest for the week of july 10. goodbye all. == "and the day the doctor told me i didn't have worms anymore was the happiest day of my life!"-ralph wiggum >>>>>>>>>>PAUL<<<<<<<<<< _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Every other time i've gone, it was usually just ILTS or The End of Everything. i find it really odd that all of a sudden CD stores are getting techno.. it's like they woke up or something. my brother was shocked to see that they had a lot of Front Line Assembly (i think i got that right) CD's and Skinny Puppy CDs. i still haven't found any Moby CD's in the mall CD stores.. so i guess techno is not getting all that popular yet. darn! and i wanted to be part of the in crowd! ::sigh!:: also, i find it really upsetting that magazines like SPIN rarely do articles on Moby. i've only read little tidbits and one page articles. i want to see a whole spread! i want to see him on the cover! instead, they put crap on the covers! i still think SPIN is better than Rolling Stone, though... i like the Genius Lessons. hee hee! what magazines out there have you guys read that have done a pretty good job with keeping up with Moby news? i can't find any magazines anywhere, even in those big bookstores. all i find are SPIN & RS and Vibe. well.. i think i'll close this pointless post. i just decided to put something because this list has been dead for a while. can anyone find ANYTHING to talk about?!?!?! come on.. ANYTHING!!! i wish that Moby single would come out already! anyways.. enough rambling.
