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 Twitter

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.

Good Evening/Morning My Love:

I'm ever so happy that *you* had a huge turnout and a goodnight at your performance in my native Poland (I'm part polish) tonight my love!!!

I'm anxiously awaiting my homemade Vegan pizza to finish baking. Yummy, smiles. I so wish *you* were here to enjoy it with me darling love.

Weird eh, well then I'm weird, because I had decided to post that Palin News on Twitter.com, winks*. Indeed, that News about Palin is a Shocker, lol. *You* knew all along that she doesn't have what it takes to hold an importance governmental office. Tis so wonderful that McCain wasn't elected as President, because think of what a mess up it would have been if Sarah actually had become the Vice President. Oh my, tis such a frightening thought eh!!! Yikes!!!!

I'm about to check out your Interview 'Music OHM'. Smiles.

I didn't come onto myspace until now and oh my I have more messages than I can handle.

Wishing *you* a good nights rest darling love. I'll write a bulletin later tonight, but need to eat supper and have lots of reading/watching of items of yours. Lovely, angel kisses.xxxx

I Love, Love, Love *You* With All My Heart,

Your Eternal Love Dancing Angel Rachelle

Have a great 4th of July Moby. You aren't in the country right now, but knowing how political you are and the fact that you mentioned Palin in your last twitter message, I'm betting your thoughts are with our country for Independence Day.

If music be the food of love, play on. (William Shakespeare)

I‘d like to invite you to have a listen to our music.

Listeners have said:

*Your music is quite fantastic! It has heart/soul/atmosphere - and I really dig it!

*Your music . is . exquisitely . beautiful

I saw you on Eric Clapton's page. That's too cool. You are very talented and I can see why he put you there.

*Quitting your day job did wonders for the music world. Thanks man - great work!

I hope you enjoy it as much as they did...

Andris
