Liberalism has naught to do with it, methinks.

He does seem to be one of the few real Christians in the spotlight (or
barely in it :) )

Catholic means universal,  I think what you're thinking of is ROMAN
Catholic.....But I don't think Moby "belongs" to any one Church, only the
Church in the universal sense, right?

The pulsing techno was perfect for the film? Its premise was suspense and
intrigue, not chill out. Maybe the dub would have worked, but having the
running beat only amplified the running and makes you get more into the
film.

Subject: (mobility) Moby interview this morning

There was an interview with Moby on a local radio station this morning.  The
interview overall was a good one and the interviewer seemed to know what he
was talking about. A few interesting things came up that I didn't know
about.  Seems Moby went to WWF SummerSlam last night (Sunday) and saw Gov.
Ventura referee the main event.  Moby a fan of pro wrestling?  He also said
that he is going to be in a CK jeans ad.  I can't wait to see this.  He said
that he is going to donate all the money and clothes he gets from doing the
ad and donate them to charity.  Moby also gave his thoughts on Woodstock and
they talked a little about Play and the live show.  There were periodic
breaks in which the station played various songs from Play including
Bodyrock, Porcelain, and others. (my memory is a little foggy.  it was at 8
in the morning.)

6 hours until I meet Moby!

I actually like that track the most out of Play.

It's an African Children's Choir or something that's been filtered a LOT.

Subject: (mobility) resonance mag article

Here's that lil' article I was talking about earlier.  Enjoy!

MOBYMOUTHSOFF
Kuri Kondrak eggs him on in our new section where artists critique music
from the hip.

Soft-spoken yet resilient, Richard Hall, a.k.a. Moby, has taken
innumerable beatings from the press for his "I'll do what I want" approach
to music. He changes up styles like most smokers go through Bic Lighters:
one minute it's progressive house, the next it's D.C. hardore.  Moby has
seen and done it all.  These days he's applauding the sort of commercial
hip-hop your little sister likes.  He calls Jay-Z's "Hard Knock Life"
"cheesy on the surface, but substantial."  Go figure.  Now with Play, Moby
hits on swampy delta blues loops and portly hip-hop beats large enough to
make Fatboy Slim yell, "You sank my battleship!"  Let's see what he has to
say about the rest of the competition.  Apparently, Moby has some issues
with "white" music.

Da Grassroots "Revival" (Conception)
Moby: Too suburban, too white.  Sounded like fratboy hip-hop.  It seemed
like lowest common demoninator hip-hop.  Not the most challenging or
brightest - it wasn't terrible, but it was old-school in a way that I
didn't like.  The verses were good but when they got to the chorus it just
seemed silly.

Antidote "God is Good" (N*Soul)
A nice atmospheric, almost disco electro track.  But I have an innate
prejudice against spoken-word vocal samples ("God is Good").  Like those
cliche newscaster vocal samples that were popular with industrial bands
like Ministry.  There are cliches that follow me around, too.  For
example, I love Christ and the teachings of Christ but I've never been -
not since a long time ago - a practicing Christian.

Betty Blowtorch "Shut Up and Fuck" (Foil)
I was all ready to hate that and then I heard that chorus and it made me
smile.  For a second I thought it was typical L7, like fat-girl,
Stooges-influenced alternative rock, but the chorus is kind of cute: "Shut
up and fuck."  I think that's nice.  The track is not particularly
inspired but the chorus made me laugh.  It's just a straightforward
expression of a pretty nice sentiment.

Bogdon Raczynski Untitled (Rephlex)
Interesting.  Half of me really hates it but there are elements in it that
are really wonderful.  Like the children's toy piano and the music is
really sweet.  I have a problem with music when it's self-consciously
weird.  When it's musicians congratulating themselves on how esoteric they
can be, it kind of turns me off.  That trend of white guys sitting in
their bedrooms making intentionally obscure or goofy music, I just find
it distasteful.  Like the Insane Clown Posse or whatever, there's enough
music in the world, why do they have to add crap to it?

Abdoulaye Diabate "Fronto (Llorca remix) (Frikyiwa)
I would never buy it.  If it was on the radio I might change the channel
or I might not.  There was a time in 1986 when I was buying a lot of
African music and this reminds me of it.  There were a lot of great
records made back then, obviously Africa is a huge continent and a lot of
music comes out of it, but a lot of mediocre music comes out of it too.  I
would put this in the second category.  The production was a little too
slick and innocuous.  I've heard stuff like that 100 times before so it's
hard to get excited about it.

Atari Teenage Riot "By Any Means Necessary" (DHR)
In general, DHR stuff makes me laugh.  It sounds exacly the same but it
serves its purpose.  It's funny; one of Atari Teenage Riot's first shows
was warming up for me in Germany in 1993.  Back then they *were*
teenagers, so the name made sense and they were so much fun.  There was
nothing calculated about it, but now the whole DHR thing is very stylistic
and calculated.  I like Alec (Empire) and ATR but they are kind of a
one-trick pony.

Todd Terry "Yo" (Astralwerks)
When it first started and it was a hip-hop track, I didn't like it; but
when it morphed into the drum & bass track it turned quite nice.  I think
it's funny how drum & bass, Miami bass and electro all have the same kick
drum pattern.  Obviously they listened to the first Roni Size album a
couple of times.  He (Todd Terry) is the master of house drum programming.
In my opinion "A Day in the Life" and "Back to the Beat," are the best
house drum programming.

Kool Keith "Master of the Game" (Columbia)
The chorus is one of those that if I hear it three or four times, I know
I'll like it.  I'll be at home listening to Hot '97 and I'll hear that and
get excited when I hear it.  I don't mean to be offensive but the MC, the
rap on this track, is kind of weak.  I love the Ultramagnetic MCs and I
know he's quite celebrated in the world of electronic music but I don't
think he's done anything good since the Ultramagnetic MCs.  It's just not
good hip-hop; it's easy hip-hop for white guys to like.  This might be an
awful thing to say, but MCs don't age well.

Art of Noise "Born on a Sunday" (ZTT)
This is ad agency drum & bass.  I can almost see the well-filmed car
driving through the Alps and the businessman rolling up the window.
Everyone has made drum & bass records.  It's sort of a prerequisite now -
if you're a British electronic musician, you have to.   I've even made a
couple drum & bass B-sides.  The ironic thing is that now all these people
are making drum & bass and in England no one cares about it except for the
hardcore drum & bass heads.  It's not trendy anymore.

Computer Rockers "Galaxy Defenders" (Breakin')
Even though it was very quirky, it was charming.  The perfect situation
for it would be six in the morning in Helsinki and you've been up for two
days and you're in a basement with a bunch of people you've never met
before and you've no idea who they are.  You've been crazy running around
and suddently you have this moment where you're standing by yourself and
you hear this song and it seems like the perfrect song for the situatioin.
It almost sounded like drug music for a drug that hasn't been invented
yet.

Whew...there ya go.  Any typos were mine.  My fingers need a rest now.  :)
