Subject: (mobility) Moby on CNN Headline News!
I was just watching CNN Headline News a minute ago, and they showed
Moby and said something like "reinventing southern blues... coming up."
So quick! Turn on your TVs! I think Moby will be on around 24 minutes
past the half-hour, if I remember Headline News' schedule correctly.

Subject: (mobility) Moby on Headline News
Matthieu, I'm not sure, but I think that it will probably be shown
each hour (around 53 minutes past the hour) for several hours. It
seems to be alternating with some Blair Witch Project related
segment every half hour.
Unfortunately, my cable company has totally screwed me. Each hour,
at the exact time that Moby is probably being shown, local folks at
my cable TV company replace the end of Headline News with a miserable
piece of local reporting called "Local Edition". So I am unable to
watch Moby on Headline News, although I guess a lot of people in
airports and stuff will see him. :-(
Somebody ought to record this (Moby on HN).

Subject: (mobility) Moby on Headline News, repeatedly
Yes, they are definitely repeating this Moby segment once every hour.
I don't know when they started, or when they will end. I wish they
would keep on showing this into the evening, when "Local Edition"
stops getting plastered on top of Headline News, so I can see it.
They advertise what's coming up (with Moby) between 40 and 45
minutes past the hour, and then they show the segment after Headline
Sports.

hmm.... i don't know if this has anything to do with CNN's headline news or
not, but moby was on 'showbiz today' yesterday and they interviewed him for a
few minutes from his apartment. also since CNN has such a wonderful website,
they actually have the transcript of whole interview and here it is:
- -----------------------------------
Moby is another name you might be hearing on Grammy night. The DJ was more
than surprised when he earned two nominations. After all, the house music
impresario had an unusual recipe for making his Grammy-nominated CD. He took
recordings a folklorist made some 65 years ago in the deep South, and built
new songs around them in his home studio.
Mark Scheerer visited him in his New York apartment.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
(MUSIC)
MARK SCHEERER, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): The video for the song
"Natural Blues" finds DJ/producer/performer Moby in senior citizen makeup.
What he's done in this song and others is take a blues number from the 1930s,
"Trouble So Hard," by Vera Hall, and reinvent it. On his album "Play," he's
done that with lots of samples of the Southern Folk and Blues field
recordings by legendary musicologist Alan Lomax.
MOBY, DJ/PRODUCER/PERFORMER: I wish I had stories about like, you know,
either me like getting them myself, like, you know, hanging out in prisons
and farms in Georgia, Atlanta, or Alabama, or whatever, but no, I just went
around the corner to my old record store and bought the reissues.
SCHEERER: So just who is this Moby, caught here on the second stage at
Lollapalooza '95?
MOBY: I am convinced that at like one point in a past life I was a lemur or a
squirrel or something, because it's almost like my apartment is like a human
habitrail.
SCHEERER: Thirty-four-year-old Connecticut-born Richard Melville Hall says
his parents gave him the nickname Moby.
MOBY: The basis for Richard Melville Hall and for Moby is that supposedly
Herman Melville was my great-great-great-granduncle.
SCHEERER: "Bodyrock" is one of the tracks from the album that's an exception.
A rap song was sampled, not one of the old field recordings from the South,
on which most of the songs are built.
(on camera): Were you concerned that somebody might take you to task for
exploiting this old music by these old musicians?
MOBY: The real litmus test for me was at the MTV Music Awards. I met Chris
Rock, and if anyone was going to skewer me for sampling African-American
vocals from the early 20th century, it would be him, and he told me how much
he loved the record,
SCHEERER (voice-over): The lavish critical praise for "Play" has led to two
Grammy nominations.
MOBY: I keep waiting for the phone to ring and for, you know, Mr. John Q.
Grammy or whoever is in charge of the Grammys to call up my manager, and say,
"oh, we made a big mistake. These were two more nominations that were
supposed to go to Santana."
SCHEERER: Songs from "Play" are on the soundtracks of the new Leo DiCaprio
movie and Madonna's new film. And he's also in a Calvin Klein ad campaign.
Perhaps the best perk of all involves an old friend, Christina Ricci.
MOBY: In a part in the video where I am lying in Christina Ricci's arms, I
did have the thought, you know, there are an awful lot of men in the world
that would gladly trade places with me right now.
SCHEERER: Mark Scheerer, CNN Entertainment News, New York.
