Subject: (mobility) awww, dont be like that!!!

Weeeeeeeelll!  that was friendly of you    aha!

Tiffany from New Zealand here, you have no bloody idea probably who I am,
cos I havnt written for months and months, ah well, new job, new season etc
etc.  I see in the few months I havnt written that things have changed
slightly.  People coming and going an' all.  Actually its a shame about
Lainey, she's been here for a while now.  Also, Scott, she diddnt actually
give a reason why she was leaving, she just said goodbye, she did it rather
quietly and without bitching I thought.  Some people might of appreciated
that, I dunno.

Anyways, the question I wanted to ask was.....  In New Zealand, the only
video they play for "porcelain" is the one with the big eye and an image of
Moby singing in the middle of it.  I only saw the one with the runaway car
online.  Which one of these vids came out first?  and which one do they
mostly play in America?.

Oh yeh, pee ess......... what does everyone think of fat boy slims halfway
between the gutter and the stars?

Thank you Eric for such a well written and informative piece.  Amazing fact
that Moby sang with Flipper.  I never forgot seeing them at the Mudd Club oh
these many years ago.  It's intriging to imagine that sometime in the early
to mid 80's, Moby may've been spinning and I may've been dancing...Anne

Thanks for the tip!  Wandering around Borders found mixmag with an attached
