It's too bad he didn't take aim at the potato salad afterwards. Especially funny if you imagine the quiet, studious, humble Moby telling you (straightfaced) that it's 'punk rock' while he fumbles w/ his zipper and looks furtively around to see who was watching. Although if he was drunk, well, I suppose that would be funny too. Yup. - -Steve :) Oh yeah, Moby likes the Spice Girls' music, which is far more unsavory that a few harmless turds or a fishpiss.

I have got a kinda random but Moby related question. I have to write a research paper (15 pages min) on anything that I want (that isn't run of the mill - abortion...) I want to do something with techno, but I can't think of a way that I will be able to get that much information for it, or what I can do with it anyway. Does anyone have any ideas at all - it can be anything. Or, has anyone actually done something like this - I remember hearing people talking about writing papers on Moby and other things before. Any help would be so awesome. Thanks a lot. Later.

So, thanks to all of you guys, I have (Tentativly) decided to write it about something about is vegetarian/vegan really the right way to live or not. As in healthy for the body, not for the cows. So, I was just wondering, if all of you people who are into this topic so much more than I am could give me any info as to where I can get some links to sites or pick up books that would be awesome.

Hrmph, I think that will be most of the artists that are around now. But not namely Fatboy. My guesses are Limp B, Kid R and so on. The ppl who listen to their kind of music most likely listned to Hammer and Vanilla Ice and those are the unforgiving fans. That's my prediction. But personally, I kinda lika old Vanilla Ice and Hammer. It's interesting. Not to say they were wonderful, serious artists but it's nice to look back to less than ten years ago and remember what rap was like before 'gangsta' rap took over. It's nice to remember that there were rap songs that weren't totally offensive all the time. But those are pretty much days gone by. Then it was a rarity for nasty songs/artist air play and now it's a rarity that non gangsta rappers are getting air play. But I don't hate gagsta rap, don't get me wrong. I just think it's pretty unhealthy stuff that goes along w/ my Limp B, Kid R rants from a few days ago. OT, I know. - --kimby ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Nov 1999 14:42:54 -0600 From: "Wiens, Jeremy A" Subject: RE: (mobility) help!

Hrmph, I think that will be most of > the artists that are around now. But not > namely Fatboy. The word on the street is that Fatboy Slim is going to release one more album, then start raising a family with Zoe. Don't blame him, at all. He could continue to make wonderful music, most likely (much like Moby), but perhaps he tires of it. However, seeing him live gives him the OK to do whatever he wants now. :) ===== DJ Pagan "Is it wrong that I sit in a dark closet and listen to Dead Cities?" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

True I'm incredibly sick of Funk Soul Brother (overplay ne 1?) but he has some other cool tunes.. And he's nothing like Hammer and Ice.. All the proof you need is in the Praise You video. I have never laughed so hard at a music video my entire life. He's not pretenious at all, and he's pretty much out of the public spotlight considering his popularity. I like him. He's different. And fun. If he makes 1 more and then disappears to familial bliss, who are we to judge? He's made his contribution to the music world and stopped before he becomes unwelcome. Don't you wish we could say that about Vanilla Ice? Talk about most unwanted comeback.

And with DJs like MTV's DJ skrobble are so bad i cant stand it. Skribble does nothing but play some of the worst dance music i have ever heard. Other dj's though... like Spooky,punk roc,and shadow..these people are far more artistic and origonal. SO go listen to you tech records, listen what do you hear...SAMPLES! so please while your listening to that please dont critisize other artists who use samples. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
