     "My loneliness is KILLING me ..."

     Anyway,
     IMHO the selection of singles THUS FAR stinks to high heaven (heaven=
 punn
included at no cost). Honey, Run_On, and BodyRock (maybe BodyRock exclude=
d) just
don't have enough PIZZAZ to be singles. They're all very repetative which=
 gets
on the nerves of the masses (present Moby maniacs not included). Let's be=
 honest
here. If you're trying to attract a larger fan-base (ie: sell more
records/singles) you should pick songs that really KICK or are awesome to=
 hear.
     I am really looking forward to WDMHFSB for this very reason. I feel =
that
this is a GREAT song and deserves to be a single. I can't wait for the re=
mixes.
IMPRESS me! I dare you! I can almost HEAR the great remixes in my mind. T=
he
piano chords in the song ACHE for a great remix. Show me what you got!
     How about a PORCELAIN single? HEck, HALF the album can be singles. I=
 just
feel that whomever is choosing this stuff (didn't sound like MOBY picked =
them
all from what I read of his interviews)just is not THINKING properly.

     HOW many times do I need to hear the line:
     "Every Honey Comes back ... sometimes"
     (is that even the freakin words?)

     Don't get me wrong. I love Moby and all (well most) of his stuff. I =
just
wish there would be more singles and remixes like: "Hymn", "ETYTM", "Feel=
ing So
Real", "Go", "Next is the E", "INTO THE BLUE!!"

     Heck, WHY isn't there an "ANTHEM" single/remixes?????!Q?Q!?!?!?  Tha=
t song
ROCKS!!

     I am now stepping down from my soapbox.

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 hi=

What I've feared has happened dear Mobility members...
The youth of the Netherlands has turned into TMF (=3D 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 Dad=
dy
and all his R&B friends have taken over the scene, leaving only a minorit=
y
who cares for stuff like expressing feelings/thoughts/views/beliefs rathe=
r
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 bothe=

    hey there people.  chris, i plan on going to the denver show this
friday. it should be awesome. ("awesome"? i'm not very articulate today.)
not to mention it is a free show. i can't stand KTCL and their team
adventure shit, but if it lets me see moby without cost, then i guess i
shouldn't whine too much. yeah, so chris, e-mail me privately if you want
to arrange a meeting, and anyone else who plans on going to the show. is
my hometown hero, the big dan cerman planning on going? that would be
neat. laters.

Subject: Re: (mobility) The long (long!!!) and short of it...

wow!  i had no idea that the person who gave a gift to the drummer was
someone from mobility!!!!  i was at that show, too!!!  it's a shame that the
concert didn't officially start until around 11:30.  my friends and i got
there around 9:30 at first & the line was way too long, so we walked back to
our hotel, which was right down the street.  we then got back around 10:45
and the line was gone.  so we quickly dashed inside.

so, where did u meet moby afterwards??  we hung out inside for a bit because
i really wanted to meet him (it was my first concert...), but he never
showed up.  did u see him outside?  we waited about half an hr and then
left... we looked back @ the buses but didn't see anyone.

ohh.. and the opening band was boom boom satellites.  they weren't that bad.
they all seemed pissed about something....  i know the venue was hot...  i
wonder if that was the reason why.

and the crowd was kinda freaky.  i was wondering who there actually had
listened to moby before play.  probably not many.

anyways, glad to read that someone else went to the nile show.  what was
your overall impression of the concert???  even though it was my first time
seeing him perform, i got the impression that he wasn't really into it as
much as i've read from other people.  paul (HI PAUL!) mentioned that as
well, since he has seen moby lots of times & had seen him in san francisco
just before then.  i just hope that i do get to see him again & hopefully
meet him next time.

if i ever get my scanner to work right, i will post the two pictures of the
concert on my webpage that turned out pretty cool.  they were taken during
his last song, thousand.. right when he was standing on his keyboard.  paul,
being a lot taller than me, took them & didn't do a bad job.

>They again left the stage for good.  My bf and I walked out and I said that
