Subject: (mobility) Re: Good Moby Pix <and> Newbie Info

I hate doing these things...they all suck but I might as well just cause a
lot of people have done them...

Name: Sarah...but I'll stick to Swells since a lot of people call me that
Age: 17 (almost legal)
Moby Collection: Lots of goodies. Just recently got the Play album signed by
Moby on the 7th. Got a pic with him too that I'm waiting for it to be
developed. Have a bunch of comp albums from him, couple singles...oh, and the
best shirt in the world.
Where I first heard Moby: Probably...uhhhhhh...could have been from Hackers
(the movie) or Urbal Beats...I don't really remember. It was a long time ago,
I know that.
Other bands I like: I'm a die-hard Prodigy fan (well, use to be at
least...that's kind of faded down now), ummmmmm...Blink 182, Orgy, Scooter,
Crystal Method, and a bunch of others...I like collecting rare things that no
one else knows about...I tend to get things before they're mainstream...and
then they are mainstream and I feel like a complete loser...
Weird Info: Well, I'm sitting here at work (in a mall) and a guy just belched
REALLY loud and one of my employees hasn't showed up yet. And you're probably
like, what? She's 17 and saying one of HER employees? Yes...I am the
manager...WOO HOO!!! Go me!! Parents business...I get perks.  :)

So, anyway...now that you know hardly anything about me, I was at that
Endfest show that that guy put the Moby pic link thingie on. That show kicked
sooooo much ass. In my opinion, the best show that was there of over 15
bands. (All mainstream bands so it wasn't exactly the best.) But anyway...I
tried to get pictures of that show, but mine turned out like crap. Kinda
makes me mad they weren't better. But anyway, he did a dj set that wasn't all
that great but when he did his regular stuff, damn it was good. Never seen
anything like it. (Almost as good as the Prodigy concert.) I wish I could
write a better review other than "It kicked so much ass" but I can't. Maybe
cause he does most of the same things at every show and everyone knows about
it...but still...it's cool...I'll just be a moron like we all can be.

THE SHOW KICKED SO MUCH ASS!!!! Sorry...I had to do that...

Subject: Re: (mobility) Re: Good Moby Pix <and> Newbie Info

Name: Rob
Age: 20
Moby Collection: Whoa, you guys are gonna be impressed.  One single, and
one track on a tribute compilation.
Where I first heard Moby: Hm, I heard him casually, I don't know, around
three or four years ago I think, I don't really recall.  I didn't get a
real sense of who "Moby" was till probably a couple months ago, when my
friend got this huge crush on him.  More will be uncovered later...
Other bands I like: Um lets see.  Its a pretty broad mix I guess, but I
like the Clash and Pantera.  I like the new Mike Ness cd too.  Im listening
to Fugazi now, and that usually means I like the Cd, and yah, now that i
think of it, i like it quite a bit.
So why exactly am I on this list?  I don't have many Moby cds nor do I seem
to listen to much Moby-esque music. Well I have my reasons, but now i want
to hear yours! Yes, thats right folks, top ten reasons to be on the Moby
mailing list/listen to Moby.  I figure I've been getting a couple to more
than a couple of emails a day from you guys, so now I want to hear why I
should still get these emails (and Kees, i liked yours the best.)  Well now
that you all know I'm a big loser and all, who has way too much fun
composing a simple email, I'll just wait for no one to respond to my mail.
Oh and make sure you somehow work porn into any answers, those are my
favourite.

MOBY'S CATHOLIC???  I seriously doubt that.  He seems to contradict
Catholicism, and I should know cuz I am Catholic(well, baptized anyway,
I'm an atheist by belief)

I really wonder if people know what atheism is or are they just confusing
it with being agnostic.

Subject: (mobility) no more porn please and Catholic stuff

yah, well i got a response, but as for people trying to send me the pam and
tommy vids to my mailbox, no i didn't mean that when i mentioned porn. nor
was i siding with any of Kees views in any way, i just like his spirit.
anyways, just to throw my hat into this MOby: Is he Catholic or is he not?
debate, if dude says he's catholic, give him a break. I'm Roman Catholic
born and raised, and I'm one damn bad catholic (see what i mean - for those
non catholics, Damn would be considered a well you should get the idea by
now).  But my point is that I don't know many people that truly believe
every word of Catholic teachings, and often openly disagree with the Church
on many stances.  For instance, if we threw out all the Catholics that
either used or agreed in birth control, we wouldn't have many of them left.
 Just because Moby's beliefs are a little more sensational than the use or
non-use of the pill, does not make him any less of a catholic than your
sister who doesn't want to get pregnant.  So if he wants to call himself a
catholic, I think those who know anything about what the teachings of
Christ really were and how he would be accepted into the kingdom of god
etc. etc. would allow him to call himself one honestly, even if a bunch of
bible thumping moby list subscribers don't understand why he would do so.
so please stop the hate mail to my mailbox, and i hope my opinion on this
brilliant theological debate has been better received.

Subject: (mobility) Introduction

Hello everyone...I was a little reluctant to actually do this, but here=20
goes...
Name: Gabriele   Age: 22
I first learned of Moby from some music discussion group on TV several years=20
back. All these other journalists and critics kept yelling and then every so=20
often Moby would talk quite calmly.  Everything he said was so=20
straight-forward and interesting and it was refreshing...so since then=20
everytime I read or heard the name Moby my ears would perk up. Then I began=20
buying compilations and soundtracks with some of his work on there. So last=20
year I finally began to buy his CDs.  I only have a couple but I love them=20
dearly (I am a poor and starving student haha).  But somehow I managed to=20
scrape up a 'few' $$ (without having to sell body organs or anything!) so I=20
can see Moby and all the other fine artists at Coachella 99 which I am=20
looking forward to with excessive anticipation.
I also enjoy Bj=F6rk, Tori Amos, Chemical Bros., Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkin=
s,=20
Blur, lotsa 80's good stuff, all kinds of music except much country, even=20
Brazilian carnival music has been making me happy recently, Chopin & Debussy=
,=20
classic rock-punk-funk, my friends' demos, I could go on...
So hello to you all, especially the newbies who got me the courage to say hi=20
(Ian, Rob, Swells, Dave...)
My 2 cents about the Catholic debate: I think we might be falling into the=20
same hole the interviewer from the Dallas radio station fell into which is=20
trying to label a person and put them in a category.  If he has listened to=20
Moby he would've heard him say that he is always changing like anyone=20
else...for all we know he could've been a fringe Catholic last month and not=20
this month...
Keep sending the good info and links!

Subject: (mobility) Moby In Atlanta

Just announced today, 99x in Atlanta, GA is putting on it's yearly "Big Day
Out" concert.  It's a full-day concert, 21 bands on 3 stages, including
Bush, Cake, Lucious Jackson, Tonic, Verve Pipe, Marvelous 3, Live, Jump
Little Children, Econoline Crush, 2 Skinee Jay's, Train, Joydrop, and of
course.... Moby.

He isn't on the main stage, but on the 2nd stage (better than the locals
stage).  It's Saturday, August 21.  BDO has previously had cool bands like
Foo Fighters, Offspring, Beck, Poe, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Goldfinger, Big
Bad Voodoo Daddy, etc.  Not a bad show... worth the $35 even without Moby as
a headliner.

Lots of promos on the station plugging all the bands showing up, Moby's
getting lots of menion in Atlanta... I notice I'll hear BodyRock at least
4-5 times a week, and I don't listen to the radio that much.

Check out their site... http://www.99x.com

i believe moby calls himself a Christian--a follower of Christ.
he may seem liberal and un-christian in his beliefs and words, but as far as
im concerned, he is one of the few real christians out there. its all so much
more pure than what is more popular--accusings, judgings, forcing beliefs,
attacking, indirectly killing and maiming, etc

moby is just so cool
just like sinead :)

(why is it a lot of bald people are so cool?) ;)

Hi folks,

Maybe we've missed the point somewhat on the catholic thread. The dictionary
in the office describes catholic (small c) as being part of the overall body
of christians. Maybe that's a better description of M than as part of any
one church grouping.

Also, in an interview with Future Music, Moby mentioned a forthcoming DJ
remix album of Play. As the Everything is Wrong DJ mix CD2 is usually within
range of the stereo, has anyone heard any rumours on release dates, etc?

Much Love,

Ian

Hello Ian,

Welcome to the list. I remember you said you were from my
part of the world, but can't quite remember where. Please
remind me, as I've deleted all messages.

I was just about to say catholic also meant 'universal',
but whoever said it, could clarify what was meant, and
maybe everyone will be happy?

Going to see Moby at The Scala, then? I'm of to his gig in
September - the one postponed from May. The Scala is really
easy to get to from King's Cross Station. Just exit, turn
left and keep walking. Within a few minutes The Scala
should appear on your right.

Take care.

Tonight I get to see MOBY in concert in my home town!  This has been a
long time coming!!!  I've been telling all of my friends about it and
telling everyone to go.  I hope he enjoys it here.


Well, that's all.  I'll be reporting back soon.

Welcome to all the new members! It's great to see the that the list is
healthy and growing.

I haven't had time to search out that Feeling So Real orange 10" on Soapbar
yet, but I haven't forgotten it. I've noticed that a few Voodoo Child 12"s
have been on auction recently, including right now. This is a great record
and I highly recommend it. It also has that exlusive 'No Buttons To Push'
ditty, a neat little Moby / Jimi Hendrix novelty. It took me months to find
it, but now they seem to common.

Moby in Chicago on August 25th... write me if you're going. I plan to be
there but I'm not 100% yet.

Hmmm... well, I guess that's all. Pleasant days & nights to all!

Since nobody except for some fans bought his single in Europe and since
nobody gives Bodyrock any airplay here, the guy has to make some money!

I don't understand... Run On and Bodyrock didn't do anything in Europe.
I hope WDMHFSB will cause his next European break-through after the one
from '95.  Most of the people I meet say they have never even heard OF him!
These are all persons of 18 and 19 years old... sure they must know Go or
Feeling so Real, Move or EYTM, you might say.. NOPE

What I've feared has happened dear Mobility members...
The youth of the Netherlands has turned into TMF (= Dutch MTV) zombies.
There's no place anymore for artists who care about MUSIC instead of
making a hit record and making lots of $$.  Britney Spears, BSB, Puff Daddy
and all his R&B friends have taken over the scene, leaving only a minority
who cares for stuff like expressing feelings/thoughts/views/beliefs rather
than
making a catchy melodie that will sell.

Sure there's nothing wrong with earning a living by making music, but don't
let the money become an obsession. Don't let the money become the reason
why you make music. Go for quality rather than quantity.

I know we had this sell-out discussion earlier, so I will no longer bother
you.

    music, without the idea, is simply music..."
