I'm getting a kitten pretty soon (tomorrow as a matter of fact). And well I've been confused as what to name it. Well I definitely want to name it after someone who's influenced me musically. And well guess whos done that! Hmmmm there are four people who have.. John Williams? Nope can't name him Williams. Danny Elfman? Elfman, yeah that'll boost the lil kitties confidence. Trent Reznor? Reznor, hmmm well I'm not getting a tiger or anything here. lets seee whos left? MOBY!? Does that sound like a cool cat name? I know its different, thats for sure. I dont want to name the cat muffins or anything like that (although if youre cat is named muffins, don't take it personally, muffins are good, i just want to be a bit more different) :) I know im going to be explaining myself to people who've never heard of Moby before, and think i'm talking about the book. Although I'm usually explaining moby to people anyways, so why not use the cat as a reference! "Who the hell is Moby" 'Why he's a great musician, and such a great one, that i named my friggin cat after him!' But hey, right now its the only thing my fried brain can think of at the moment. But for now in this windows98 world, the cats name shall remain "Untitled Cat". this isnt the greatest post in mobility history, but oh well, go figure :) - ------ you know what would be even cooler, is if for some reason the cat took a liking to the album "Animal Rights" and was a bit scared of the track "Dog Heaven"! or wait would he like that track??? ----------- Thanks, Eric (who has had too much caffeine) gold@netrox.net Listen to Tone Matrix @ www.mp3.com/tonematrix www.tonematrix.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2000 20:40:41 -0700 From: "Kevin Snaden" Subject: Re: (mobility) ok people hows this for a cat name?!

Subject: (mobility) Moby, in general So I sit here typing and Bodyrock starts playing on the "top 40" station here in Denver...nice to hear...very nice to hear. With the Man gaining popularity and all...where are the bumperstickers? Especially the bootlegs? All but one of my band stickers are bootlegs (that one being the manic street preachers for all who care)... I've only seen one Moby sticker in my life...and it was of play...anyways...just something I've noticed... As for My Weakness (as was mentioned a few days ago). I love the song...one of my 4 favorite moby songs...one of the few songs I can write to. (Moby holds the title of producing 3 of the few songs I can write to..the others are The Rain is falling and the Sky is Shuddering, and Living)....anyway...when they used it in Any Given Sunday it fit the part in the movie to a T. Flower, beautiful song...I first experienced in a packed theater...I loved it...oh how did I love it...I may just have to get the Gone in 60 Seconds soundtrak for that song...and the movie was pretty good too. I was listening to the radio the other day (rare when I am not at college) and the station I was listening to pretty much said that moby was coming to Denver by the end of summer...stay tuned etc..etc.. My hopes have been revived..as long as they don't do what they did last year and place him with 2 crappy local DJ's as opposed to having Moa (oh that would have been good). Anyway lets all keep rocking to moby and spreading the word (or music) of moby. The new Record Elektra will be putting out sounds very sweet...a good cross section of MOby's music to get out there to the masses...it will do well...I hope some of his older stuff will then be recognized. OT: Names of pets... I like the name Moby for a pet...I knew of a dog named after the hip hop dj Dj Clue... I am going to name a dog Socrates and another Plato...maybe a Xerxes or Aurelius...good ol philosophers...other than Xerxes....

But, I guess since that's taken (and probably for a dog too), I'll have to name my pet.. umm.. Melville. Yeah, Melville! As DJ Paul would say... ROCK!
