So there you go. On the rest of the bullshit that comes into my mailbox, I think that Moby should "Sellout" to the fullest, if it makes him happy and he can push out more albums and do bigger and longer tours, Im all for it, granted I love the guy and all of his music but if more money is the key for something better Im all for it. Selling out, Jeesh do you people know who Moby is??? Bow your heads in shame.

Oooops, The below message I thought I sent to ppl privatly but I forgot to take out the list address and add another address. :-) Sorry listies! But to make this a MOBY post, Ppl keep saying "Oh, well you don't really know who MOBY is....." Well, damn right I don't! I've seen him in concert and bought his records and talked to him briefly once. No, I don't know a g*dd**n thing about him personally. I know I like his music, I know I have opinions about his music and general things relating to him but as far as the man himself, I don't know a damn thing. I didn't ask any indepth questions for my own personal knowledge. I would never consider myself to "know" someone unless it was a personal relationship which involved talking and sharing information about one's self. You're right, I don't know him and I'm sure I probably never will. I think some ppl get way carried away w/ the obsession, thinking that they truly know something spiritual about someone that they in fact no nothing personally about. I know my chosen religious preference, I know myself, etc, but I do not know MOBY. - --kimby PS...B*tch mode now turned off. :-) Sorry.

Moby is a bit ambiguous, when it comes to sexuality too - well, so he said in the interview I posted a couple of weeks back (just had to make it Moby related for all those Moby-topic purists). Between you and me, I think he does prefer the girlies though. I admire his catholicism (in the universal sense, not institution). Fair enough.

I'd check this link soon or it may change locations within the site. But Jim DeRogatis is a good interviewer. I almost went to the Chicago gig last night with my date, but unfortunately my 'connections' fell through. No worries for me though. Ive met Moby several times and have seen him live about 5 times now. I'm over it. We just had drinks at The Raw Bar instead. Now I just want to see The Manic Street Preachers when they come to Metro next week. - ------------------------------------------------------- Scott Stegenga Internet Engineer Tunes.com (formerly JAMtv/RollingStone Network) ...same company, more stuff... http://rollingstone.tunes.com http://www.tunes.com http://rollingstone.downbeatjazz.com http://rollingstone.thesource.com http://rollingstone.lycos.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 26 Aug 1999 07:28:09 PDT From: "Steve Giles" Subject: (mobility) Concert Report: Chicago 5/25 First but not least, the Boom Booms were fun to see. They did some stuff that reminded me of the Propellerheads. Not exactly my thing, a bit too funk, but entertaining nonetheless. Moby's set was intense, as many of you know. Some highlights were Trouble So Hard, which was somewhat gothic and gloomy with Moby singing (intoning, more like) and the purple lights. James Bond Theme was awesome, and I don't care for the studio cuts of it, either. Something about hearing it live really brought it to life. The rough edges, probably. Same goes for Bodyrock. There was a nice Run On rendition that Moby sang while playing his acoustic. (with full band support) Why Does My Heart was my favorite, just like on Play, and My Weakness made a great opener. During the soundcheck intermission (between acts) they used an unreleased mix of Voodoo Child to do some tests. It was slight reworking of the Poor In NY mix, with the song structure slightly different and vocal sample shorter and a bit more generously triggered. Moby had a fruit show near the end. (I had seen the pineapple earlier and wondered...) He held up the banana and pineapple and Duard has the avacado. Moby told us that the banana and pineapple are friends. (he made them dance a little) He also said that they hate the fucking avacado. He went on to mention that concerts can be educational, too, and that the only vegetables with saturated bat are a kernel (corn, maybe?) and the avacado. At the end of the show, before Thousand, Moby rung out his shirt 6 or 7 times and got mini-floods of sweat to pour out of it. (it's very humid in Chicago right now) After the show I waited outside for Moby. Duard came out first, and I talked to him for a little bit. He's married to Greta, the bassist, and joined up with Moby about 6 weeks ago. Pablo, the previous precussionist extraordinaire, is on tour with Joe Strummond, and probably won't be back, according to Moby. Duard planning to do something of his own in the near future, which he described as tribal industrial, focus on rhythym. I didn't get a chance to talk to Greta, or Scott Frasetto. I was on the far left during the show, so I probably saw Scott come out but didn't recognize him. When Moby came out, I waited patiently for my turn. There were 10-15 others waiting, too. I told him that mobility says 'hello!' and he says 'hi!' back to everybody here. I also said hello for Damian and Daniel, and he told me that he saw you guys in Salt Lake City and Denver, respectively. Play Mixed & Remixed should be coming next spring, Moby told me. "That's the plan." I complimented his choices on Duard (pronounced 'dward, not doo-ard') and Greta, and he said "They're married, you know." (Duard told me beforehand, what a lucky guy!) I gave Moby a hug and thanked him, and he drew me a cool little picture and "-heart icon- Moby" on my Play liner cover. I went home happy, exhausted, and smelly. There's more interesting little bits, I'm sure, and I'll post them if they come to min later. Thanks for reading. - -Steve _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

I was wondering why doesn't moby give the people on Mobility list and MobyMail free tickets to the shows or at least discounts off or something. that would be cool or he could just release singles that he didn't release to us as well. I know a couple bands that do that like Pearl Jam they send out a cd for X-mas to their fans and a news letter too. Also R.E.M. does that same thing. I know I would love to get special singles that no one else can get. I'm sure that would be easy since he recorded what 200+ songs for Play. Maybe he thought of this already. who knows.

Yeah, the PJ fan clud does send out stuff for x-mas and I think randomly too. I used to belong to the fan club. They had a small t-shirt catelog that they sent out only to members. That would be cool if MOBY had a fan club that colaborated w/ his label to put out special stuff to the club. But alas, we aren't an offical fan club. It would be unfair for us to count and ppl who don't have email or internet not be able to get in on it. But who knows, maybe we can start our own fan club/fan zine. Would any one want to do that? > > > Oh well I hope Moby or his Mangement reads > >this.. > Does any one know if anyone (other than MOBY himself) from the MOBY camp reads Mobility?? Is that a confirmed fact?

So that's my excuse for dating my subject as May instead of August. :) It's corrected now. I forgot to mention that Duard is the percussionist, like Pablo was for the previous tours. I'm not sure if that was obvious from my message. The Mancow's Morning Madhouse cameraman was on the floor after the show, and was interviewing people. Mancow is a Howard Stern wannabe on a Chicago radio station. I asked him when Moby would be on the TV show. He was on the radio yesterday morning, and the TV version of the radio show will be on next week, according to Mr. cameraman. He said that Moby was awesome on the radio show. I couldn't listen to it or get it taped, unfortuantely. I have my hopes up that I'll be able to get the video version when it airs on Channel 66 the U next week. BTW, no problem with drunken ruffians. The place was packed, but most people were patient, respectful, and polite. There were a few shovers, of course, but not many. Shirts are down to $15. I wanted to get extras because I remembered requests from people here on mobility, but I didn't have the money to do so. At least there's mobymail@aol.com now. They should have some Play clothes, maybe even the same ones sold on tour. Oh yeah, and the sound was great!

Yes, both Moby and his maneagement read mobility. Consider it confirmed. I would like to think that some benign, non-profit concert & mixtape trading wouldn't be hassled. Copyrighted and/or profit-making exchanges, however, are certainly are out of the question. Trying playing My Weakness very very loud outside when it's windy and there are stormclouds gathering, changing from overcast to threatening. It's really quite nice. - -Steve _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
