Subject: (mobility) Play-ed in Clubs

Hey Gang,

I'm friendly with the dj's at one of the local dance clubs here in town, so
when I took my advance of Play to the club with me, they were eager to drop
it in. "Machete" got mixed in two different rooms, and was a big hit on both
floors. "Body Rock" got a great response, and the all the lesbians in the
second room LOVED "Find My Baby." I can't wait for vinyl and club mixes from
the first two songs to start making the rounds so these two songs can get
regular rotation. They are both absolute dance floor smokers.

This ain't that interesting, but I've found out that the female "go away"
vocal sample used in "Honey" is taken from First Choice's "The Player",
released 1997 on Minimum Records. Maybe anyone cares...

I got an e-mail from CDnow saying that I can now advance order Play (I
probably won't because I hate buying stuff from them).  I went to the site
and they didn't have a cover image for the CD but they did for the Vinyl
version.  I don't know if you all have seen it or not but its there.
(www.cdnow.com)

Question:  Does anyone know if the CD will have the same cover?

As a sample-spotter I do care. But it should be noted that "The Player" was
actually first released in 1978 on Salsoul Records.

I have the UK _Play_ CD, which I assume has exactly the same front
cover as the US CD version.  It looks the same as the picture from
the US 2xLP version that CDnow shows, with just minor differences.

The CDnow picture shows just a sliver more of the picture on the
top and left edges than my CD copy.  Also, the letters are slightly
larger in relation to the picture of Moby on the vinyl, vs. the CD.
"PLAY" and the play triangle symbol are in a bright tomato red on
my CD cover.  I can only assume that CDnow's picture is markedly
darker because of how it was scanned.

But basically they're the same.  When the album is released, look
for for what CDnow shows in its image of the US vinyl version.

I was watching cartoons this morning (yes. i said cartoons.  much better

whats the deal with all these cartoons that have kickass theme songs?

batman beyond, men in black, that new ghostbusters one... sheesh!  what
happened to the good ole days when there was the cheezy spiderman theme
song... you know... the one that goes
iron man, iron man, friendly neighbourhood iron man, irons clothes any size
even pants with big thighs... WATCH OUT!  here comes the iron man.
err... its been so long, i dont even remember what the real lyrics are
anyway.

but come on, am i the only one who thinks that cartoon theme songs have
become way to catchy?

and to make this post at least somewhat related, im going to start
harassing much music to play more moby again.  for a while i was jumping
all over them to play more plastikman, and then the last rur? played TWO
plastikman videos.  so im content. back to the moby campaign!!!!!!!

i've also noticed that there are no "jingles" anymore, at least not like

indy rockers pushing cars and shoes. pretty disgusting.

I don't mean to upset you xaq, but I wanted to bring this point up....I
always hear people complain one way or another about sell-out techno artists
and all...I can't understand why people get so pissy over a thing like
that...I would actually be more excited rather than pissy....now, that artist
has a wider spectrum of people to speak out to...bigger labels, bigger
markets...plus, if you were an underground musician and some major label came
up to you and offered you $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ contract, wouldn't you sign?  do
music for music, but if the money comes, then hey...go for it!!  I would take
it up....not only would you be making it big, but you would have a larger fan
base, better promotion, and play larger venues with super stars like hanson
and the spice girls and that very sexy but still jailbait Brittney
Spears..mmmm..yummy... anyways, I am getting off the subject....I don't know

you all got to say....Later!!!

What, no 808 or 909?

I guess he just uses the Akai series to sample.  If I remember, he also had
Alesis HR series drum machine and...a Modular unit, don't know the make off

Please remember, I said 'had'. ;-)

Subject: (mobility) "Run On" video

Hey all--

I'm not sure if anyone was watching MTV tonight for 120 Minutes, but they
premiered the video for "Run On."  As someone (Daniel?  Damian?  I can't
remember) posted, it is about Moby essentially becoming employee of the
month in heaven.  The video doesn't really go with the song a whole lot,
but it is highly amusing.  Maybe, if we're really lucky, MTV will actually
play it again sometime.  Just figured I'd post and see if anyone else had
seen it...

Subject: (mobility) hymn 33.3333333333

ok-so i'm not all that steeped in knowledge of the
bible-or christianity in general. but a friend(who
is)and i were recently having a conversation about the
 bible eluding to the fact that only 1/3 of the
population will be saved. 1/3 is of course 33% or 33.3
percent-which is-i'm told-where 666 comes from. 66.6
would be the remaining population-or 66%. but what i'm
getting at-is last night i noticed that the
hymn.alt.quiet.version(lcdmute161)is 33.333333333
minutes long; and that in the liner notes on the
inside of the insert say thanks to jesus christ a
little larger than most. definitely larger than the
other mute cd for hymn(cdmute161)-i checked. so this
lead me to believe that the song is somehow meant to
signify being saved and/or being raised up to heaven.
there are some explosions in there that could relate
th the battle between heaven/hell-good/evil as well.
so i'm not a religious person at all-but this still
caused me to listen to the song in a different way.
just thought i'd throw that out.

peace. love.

christian

    I just got a pre-release version of Play......I must say that there
are definate leanings in the same way.  There are 2 or three songs that
are/or seem to be related to God in one way or another.

Subject: Re: (mobility) Sell-outs

I think the truth is somewhere inbetween (as i think it always finds itself).
It is a question, if the artist will not change his intentions after signing
a million dollar contract, but it's not a reason to blame all the artists who
did. and the same about somebody doing a song for a cartoon. moby did a song
for a james bond movie. ( i don't know, but i think there are some cartoons,
which are better than JB movies) And who blames moby for that? it's a good song,
has a good video, propellerheads did some song for the same movie... does
anybody think of moby or them as sell-out artists?  There are people i know of,
who got to know moby only then, after this Tomorrow never Dries and now they're
asking for older moby releases.
but to be a friend of xaq too, however, there is a lot of artists, who make
this music for commercial use in order to make commercial profit. they use
pre-sampled patterns and breakbeats and therefor theit music is worth nothing.
BUT: some techno guru said (not sure wheter it was Sven Vaeth or Yves De Ruyter)
that who cares about the intentions to make a song you actually dance to, feel
the energy from and push the sweat out of your body in the rhytm of. does
anyone ?
