Subject: (mobility) moby rates others and things

To make this moby related...I read a small article/interview with moby in
the recent Resonance Magazine where he rated a bunch of other
artists/albums.  It was a fun read...and if I find it I'll type it up.  He
did mention in one part (not to drag up the religion thing again..) that
he hasn't been a practicing christian in quite some time.  Whatever that
means.  :)

Ah, the infamous Bjork movie.  The movie that crushed my heart cuz they
were filming here and I didn't sense it.  Well it is called 'Dancer in the
Dark' and it is a musical, so it probably won't get released in the US.
You can get info about it here:

http://gargamel.com/pomegranate/dancer_in_the_dark.html

Ooh yeah.  And if any of you are curious I put up new 'party pictures' on
my website from my weekend escapades.  Some of them are of poopy quality
because my camera is finally wussing out on me so they are overexposed or
blurry, etc.  Oh well...time to get a new camera i guess!!  :)

Enjoy!

New York techno music veteran MOBY is all over the map these days (and in
Austin this weekend)


by chris riemenschneider
american-statesman staff
Thursday, August 19, 1999


It looks like it might be Moby's year. Spin magazine already named the
33-year-old techno guru's new album "Play" the 20th best album of the '90s,
the highest of the three albums released this year on the list of 90. Other
magazines, too, have been maxing out their rating systems over the album, a
haunting hodgepodge of instrumental grooves, techno-styled ambience and
samples of Deep South gospel recordings.

The biggest impression Moby made this year, though, came at Woodstock '99.
His performance in an old B-52 hangar the first night of the festival was a
bona fide hit, attracting many of the 220,000 fans on hand and giving them a
downright festive, feel-good moment. Then when things turned sour the third
night at Woodstock, the ever-vocal New Yorker was the first performer to
decry the destruction and displays of testosterone, his angry quotes posted
all over music Web sites.

"There were many good things at Woodstock ('99)," Moby, real name Richard
Hall, clarified over the phone from his Manhattan loft last week. "It was
just the whole meat-head factor that was inexcusable. You can't label
something a peace-and-love event and have Insane Clown Posse and Limp Bizkit
playing it."

An outspoken vegan, Christian, environmentalist, non-drug user, Moby has as
many people thinking he's a pretentious lunkhead prone to cry while
performing his own music as he has fans captured by his innovation. There's
no question, though, that his musical output has been fascinating to follow.
His 1990 "Go" single -- a now legendary reworking of the "Twin Peaks"
theme -- made him one of the first stars of the '90s rave scenes. Subsequent
singles and albums found him bouncing from house/dance sounds to ambient
movie scores to, most surprisingly, the guitar-heavy punk sound of his 1997
CD, "Animal Rights." Many fans perceived the album as Moby shunning techno
music.

" `Animal Rights' happened because I had started playing guitar again and
was listening to a lot of guitar-based music and was really just drawn to
it," he explained. "It wasn't a rejection of anything. I love dance music,
and all the different facets of it."

"Play" is certainly more dance-flavored than "Animal Rights," but as Moby
said, "it's not the kind of album you'd put on at a party." A few rhythmic
songs like the brilliant "Honey" and hip-hop-flavored "Bodyrock" give way to
haunting tracks such as "If Things Were Perfect" and "Machete," featuring
Moby on vocals, and spiritual-based ambient numbers like "Why Does My Heart
Feel So Bad?" All of it offers a more natural, less electronic sound.

The last time Moby came to town was to DJ for a rave at the Austin Music
Hall. He has been here numerous times before, too, taking part in South by
Southwest, mixing a soundtrack single with the Butthole Surfers ("Great fun.
I wish we could have had more time") and to take in the cuisine at West Lynn
Cafe ("My favorite vegetarian restaurant in the world"). This time, it's to
play La Zona Rosa with his band on Friday.

"It feels great having a band, there's just so much more you can do," Moby
said. "DJ-ing is more of a hobby for me now. I enjoy it, but it's not
something I can get too serious about."

As for the early praise for "Play," he said, "That's great. I guess I'm
doing something right."

     Come On Baby is pretty good live. I saw that a couple of years ago when AR
came out and MOby played at one of those 20-band concert things with 3 different
stages. He played last on Stage TWO, THEN after his set he went over to the MAIN
stage where the Mighty Mighty Bostones were playing and the concert closed with
TWIRFMR. MOby played the song and the MMB were the backup band. I believe they
even had the MIssion Of Burma guitarist there who wrote the song.
     It was pretty cool.

So I doubt they will find any time during their tour to teach her the riffs
unless they got lots of rehearsal time inbetween.  Cause, I always wanted to
hear Come On Baby live...but guess not :P
Later,

Mobyfans...

Hi all!

Just wondering if anyone had any info on the Moby show Sept. 4th in St.
Louis, MO.  Stuff like how much tickets are, if it's likely to sell out
(small club or bigger venue), and what time it starts.

My female companion and I are seriously thinking of making a Labor Day
weekend jaunt up there for the show, and whatever else happens...

Thanks in advance for any info...

Bart, the Moby remix is only on the US release. All of the other releases have
the original Spead Freak, and am sorry to say, but I actually like the
original better than the Moby mix. Actually the other releases of Green (I
have the Jap release too) are much better and quite different than the US
release. Check it out!

Also, Thank you Jayson! I am going to do everything to get there to see Moby
on Thursday! I guess I will have to skip Orientation but my Mom will be there
anyway, so she can go by herself. I don't need it... Anyway, Thanks dude! Later.

Various Quotes:

Before Bond: "This is, as far as I know, the only cover we'll be playing
tonight.  It's from a little known movie that I did the music for a few
years back."  (In addition to extending the intro and adding lyrics he also
rapped the first verse of Public Enemy's "Bring the Noise"  and sounded
pretty damn good too."

"The one bad thing about performing is...it hurts.  If I'm not in pain the
next morning, I didn't put on a good show.  But that's not an excuse for you
guys to throw shit at me."

Before Go:  "The first time I played in Austin was in 1993 opening for the
Prodigy.  These next two songs are two I played then.  I was playing them
six years ago."

Before Ah-Ah "Shhhh.  This next song is a VERY slow, VERY sad song, and I
need for you all to be very quiet."

Before Bodyrock "I just have to say to all of you that live here in Austin,
you're very lucky.  I've played and traveled all over Texas, and it's a
pretty nice state...but this is the place to live.  You've got hills -
that's nice.  You've got bats...well I've read that you have bats...I
haven't actually seen that you have bats (ed. note...wrong time of year)
You have good radio stations (audience boohs) Well I thought they were good.
This next song, I think is a pretty sexy song, so we're gonna play it for
you now."

Before Honey "I have to ask you a question.  How many of the ladies here
sleep naked?  (screams and applause)  Well this next song is dedicated to
all the ladies that sleep naked.  Especially those that would like to
someday sleep naked with me."

Before Feeling So Real "This next song...I may not be very objective...but I
think this next song is the most beautiful disco song ever written." (Ed.
note..I agree!)

Before Thousand He introduced the band then said "Well unfortunately, this
next song I have to play by myself.  So let's bid our adieus to the band.
Bye!  This song is, I believe, the fastest song ever written."


He also played snippets of Smoke on the Water, and another cover that I
think was a Led Zepplin song.  After the unknown cover someone in the
audience shouted something..."What?  We know lots of covers!  You want us to
do more covers?  You want us to do no covers?  I can't understand whether
you're saying more or no!  (audience screams..more covers)  alright, we'll
see."


All in all, an absolutely breathtaking, unforgettable show.  If I didn't
have a friend coming into town tomorrow I'd hop in a car and go see the
Dallas show.  If you guys haven't already bought tickets for upcoming
shows...sell blood, sell your organs, sell your children, quit your
jobs...whatever you have to do...go see him!  You will not regret it!
