Band Membershow about books? why isn't there a 'favorite books' section for bands/musicians? isn't that kind of sad? well, i'm the only member of my band, so maybe i'll use this section to write about some books that i like. but then i'll sound even more pretentious than i usually do. so, what to do? how about some random books i like....john cheever's journals. walker percy's 'the moviegoer'. wittgenstein's 'tractatus'. frank herbert's 'dune'. anything by flannery o'connor. dostoevsky's 'the idiot'. anything by f. paul wilson. rudyard kipling's 'the jungle books'. 'the once and future king'. danny gregory 'everyday matters'. david james duncan's 'the brothers k'. anything fun by neil gaiman, especially 'stardust'. legs mcneil 'please kill me'. lawrence wright 'saints and sinners'. bill bryson's 'mother tongue'. bertolt brecht's 'mother courage and her children.' ok, i'll stop there for now.

Moby on Facebook

i had a long and factual and fairly tedious bio up here but it was, well, long and fairly tedious. so now i have this. although at present i don't know what 'this' is, as i haven't actually written 'this'. in writing a bio i'm trying to find that nice balance of self-involvement, pithy self-deprecation, and brevity. which leads me to think that i should just stop here. but i've never been one to err on the side of brevity, so i'll just keep writing.

i was born in nyc on september 11, 1965, and now it's 2009 and i still live in nyc. which(living in the same city in which i was born) would be provincial and depressing if nyc didn't happen to be the least provincial and depressing city on the planet. and i'm sort of stuck living in nyc because:

a-i don't have a drivers license(we all benefit from this, trust me, i'm a terrible driver).
b-most of my friends live here.
c-nyc is nice.

what else about me...i make records and occasionally go on tour and play concerts. i'm currently signed to mute records, which makes me proud because mute is a great label and i get to call nick cave and goldfrapp and diamanda galas my label-mates.

now really is the time when i'm going to force myself to err on the side of relative brevity (my other bio was about 30,000 words). thanks for reading.

-moby.

oh, and my next record is called 'wait for me'. it's slow and mournful and melodic. and david lynch made the first video, 'shot in the back of the head'. i'm a lucky musician.

You Moby, you can have anything you want. Just order in a fourth of July kit. Make sure to have a red white and blue snow cone. They are delicious. I had one earlier today. All you need is crushed lemonade ice and food coloring. Pu it in a cone and there you have it. Fourth of July in a cone. Kind of like those cool weird pizza cone things America came out with.

Hi Dude... I'm Tannia From Mexico... I've Been reading all the info in your bilps... and Thanks... Its very hard to find any artist who do the time to explain what means each song for yourself because finally you get that its amix of emotions and facts who make you the person that you are...it really makes me feel that in a certain way, i'm can see what you see in your music... Yes, is kind of sad, but its not just about the emotions, its about to appreciate the sounds on the songs... I dont want to kill myself ... I would like been a musician... I saw you in Guadalajara in 2008 so hope you comeback soon... See ya... bye..

Thanks for the new album. Ever since I listened to your work for the first time, many years ago now, I cannot cease wanting to submerge within your music. Every time one of your CDs is released, I become extremely anxious to own one copy. Es increible todo lo que una persona puede transmitir con su musica. Gracias por compartirla...

Good Mornig My Love:

Well, I wrote a long bulletin and then when I submitted it, it didn't show up or even come up with a submit preview area, so I don't know if it will eventually show up, but I notice that in the bulletins section right now, there are no new bulletins since yesterday, therefore, I'm thinking it is a myspace gliche and hopefully my long and thought out bulletin will show up, because I tried to go back to see if it would show up in the back screen, but no, it went straight to my home page, thus, I apologize darling, but I don't have a bulletin now and my eyes are getting tired. It is 3 a.m. here. I was going to workout before bed, but I plan on doing that in the morning first thing now, because it is so late.

I hope *you* rested well Honey.

Have a wonderful morning. Angel Kisses xxxxx.

I Love *You* With All My heart,

Your Eternal Love Rachelle
xxxx
