I am also amused by simple things, but then again, my life is dull and boring. :-P And in response to the organization question....I don't organize. I used to, but I stoped. Moby cds stay together though and they're labeled so that my bf and I don't get confussed as to which are which. He has FAR more cds than I. He losses his alot and since our somewhat recent move, I've lost a few. This upsets me. :( But, no MOBY were lost in the move, so I'm okay (at least I have MOBY to comfort me :) Okay, that was kind of MOBY related. :-P Although, quite pointless. *************************************************************************** > From: "Jake M." > Subject: Re: (mobility) Re: mobility t-shirts > > I think the baseball jersey idea is quite neat.

He seems like a good person who believes in God and Christ. That works for me, but it really isn't any of my business. :-P If Moby was to say to the general public, "mind your own business," then I would respect that. But all these things that are being discussed here are comments or quotes that Moby himself made to the general public. It becomes other's business when he claims to belong to something that other's also claim to belong to and value. So it's interesting to discuss his views and where he's coming from and whether people agree and want to support his views or disagree. I love his music, but I'm also fascinated with his attitude to life and what he's trying to do and say. If he didn't want any of us to know about it, think about it or discuss it, he wouldn't make it public would he?

I was getting pretty sick near the end. Anyway, i've got the AMP CD, and it's dissapointing. Moby should've been on it. The Atari Teenage Riot song is okay, I didn't like Tranquility Bass' song. The Goldie song was great, but "Inner City Life" is the only Goldie song anybody puts on albums (except UB.2) Also, why is "Block Rockin' Beats" the only C.B. song getting credit? I like "Elektrobank" myself. That's my 2 cents (which will equal out to about $15.00 with inflation). d. - ---------- From: Paul Simpson To: mobility@xmission.com Subject: (mobility) coffee, titanic Date: Tuesday, May 26, 1998 4:20 PM hey guys just wondering, moby has said "Coffee is poison", right? just wondering, why? whats he have against coffee? "Roly-poly fish heads are never seen drinking cappucinnos in italian restaurants with oriental women"...and neither is moby!!! oh yeah, i just saw titanic yesterday. i wanna be cool and say, "yeah, moby was dead right, it was the dumbest most boring fucking piece of trash ever!!!!!!!!!!" but it wasnt. i mean it was definitely not worth all the hype and 9,784 oscars it won, and i definitely wouldnt see it 100 times, but it was not bad. it was just ok. and i dont think it was too long either. to me the time just flew by. of course maybe i fell asleep in the midle or something... whatever. of course i was also the one who loved "Saturnzreturn", so... and about that urbal beats, when the first one came out i thought it was a ripoff of the AMP cd that came out around the same time, but this one sounds interesting, more interesting than the new amp cd thats coming out (which sounds a little weird anyway) so does urb have a website? or something? this sounds cool, what labels it on? bye spuds == "Roly poly fish heads are never seen drinking Capuccinos in Italian restaurants with Oriental women." >>>>>>>>>>PAUL<<<<<<<<<< _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

CDs are convenient, but i feel that records are a real treasure. maybe i'm just stuck in the past... i dunno. i just love records. :) now if i could find a place to get Moby ones i'd be in utopia. ;) *** oh, and i think the ILTS cover is pretty neat.. although, it reminds me of those microsoft internet explorer ads i see in SPIN. the dots remind me of it... *** and...... WELCOME MICHAEL! (are you in FL? i have a friend in FL who also uses earthlink... is that local?)as for your enhanced CD, join the club. nobody's works, either. mine kinda worked when i ran it under windows 3.1, which i found in my computer. i guess my computer kept the old version when i updated it to win95. i just wound up opening up the videos and stuff under quicktime manually. of course, i was disappointed that it didn't run right.. but oh well! *** haven't you also noticed that festivals and concerts, besides getting too commercial, are also getting more expensive? i use to love going to the Alachua Music Harvest every yr when i lived in FL. then, they decided to get more bigger artists, besides the local ones (which i felt had more talent than the bigger artists). pretty soon, $9 tickets for 3 full days of music began to be $15 prepaid and $20 at the gate.. last yr they were $25 @ the gate. when the ppl that organized this began to hire these bigger artists, they lost the true feeling of the celebration-to celebrate all the local music. it's a shame.. i hate seeing all this commerical stuff ruin a good thing. *** and... caffiene is a great. i don't drink coffee because i don't like the taste and i don't want to get started on something that is not good for you. then again, i drink soda for caffiene, which isn't good for you, either (the acid in it isn't good for your stomach, and it depletes your body of water rather than replenishing it). so... i guess i shouldn't be talking. anyways, soda has helped through some exams (the really boring history ones who's questions are a mile along!).. but i've had it for times like that. when it comes to liquid refreshment, the only thing i drink is green tea and water.

Yesterday it was time to listen to ILTS (joking, I just wanted to do it), and the circles on the cover seemed to me as a script 'm' (standing for Moby, I guessed). It's not very clear, but the reds and oranges made me imagine a bit. BTW, Inside the cover states that "Go" was written by Moby,David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti. It seems strange to me, as it says (as we all know) that "G" (I just wanted to build an acronym :) includes a sample from.. blah, blah, blah... Is it just a redundancy ? I never saw a song which had samples of another stated as "being written" by those who made the sampled song... :-? > And I love some of the funky 70s stuff on it.

The orange and pink dots are just there. They don't presume or represent anything, they just exist there. I find the pointless unassuming simpicity rather refreshing. Relaxing, even. I would buy a poster of the cover art, actually. I do understand why people would NOT like the cover art. My bedroom decorations are practically nil. Bright red carpet, bare off-white walls. One yarn thingy of r2-d2 over yellow backround, 1.50$ at a garage sale. People just don't dig the spartan decor, but I do. and I like the cover. Ok. Since Andy the gingerbread man isn't doing the Thanks CDs anymore, is there someone who would be so kind to make a tape of it for me? I'll cover costs. E me private, thanks. Unfortunately, the letters that say MOBY on my shirt from the concert are in grey, over a blue/red/black swirly background. Hard to read at a quick glance, and not immediately recognizably a Moby related graphic. I haven't met any Moby fans while wearing it, as I hope to. :-( We need more Moby merchandise. I wonder if the order form in the back of Animal Rights is still valid. I'll contact Mute or DEF or whatever, and let anyone interested know. I too am on a T1, so I pay nothing for access but it is restricted, as I am at work. I like it, and I cannot complain. Who could in my position? Come to work, chat Moby, work, browse web, work, chat Moby, browse web, go to lunch, etc. etc. g'bye now!

I tried stop drinking coffee, just to check if I found myself better or so (ha ha), and although a bit more sleepy when I wake up.. nothing special.
