how 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.

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 2008 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
If you have found a smile that is the sweetest one you've known, If you have heard, within a voice, the echoes of your own, If you have felt a touch that stirs the longings of your heart, And still can feel that closeness in the moments you're apart, If you have filled with wonder at the way two lives can blend To weave a perfect pattern that is seamless, end to end, If you believe some things in life are simply meant to be, Then you have found your soul mate, your heart's own destiny.
Our differences and our familiaritis compliment eachother in such a beautifully eclectic way...I'm truly without words to xplain and yet silence speaks so much louder than words. My entire being it glows like never before...
Darling, Wow, the convention is going to be held at the Mile High Stadium today. How truly exciting. Now that will be an unforgettable event darling. I imagine as everyone is invited, the crowds of people will be enormous.
I thought of you all evening, into slumber. My spirit whispering in your ears how much I love you.
I am constantly in awe of how much I love you. I didn't know it was possible to love a man as much as I love you. Your heart speaks to me loud and clear.
Have a wonderful time tonight at the church Darling. I've been watching for you on the tv at the convention. I really enjoyed Joe Biden's son's speech, he just did a moment ago. Unfortunately I missed Former President Clinton's as I was busy concentrating on my homework.
Hey, Mister Moby, whe are you coming back to France ? (Reminds me when you were in my town, Dijon, some years ago, was a fantastic concert (I was tracting at the PETA booth) ! Next time, I promise : vegan cakes for everybody on stage !) Ah yes and just wanted to tell you ow much I love your last song with Mylene Farmer.
So Bill Clinton Speaks tonight, smiles. That should be interesting to see his speech after having seen his wifes last night.
Today has been a very lucrative day here in Florida for me, but I still wish you weren't so busy, so that I could be in my Colorado with you, smooches, but gosh darn it if I was the one that had forgotten my convention ticket, because I surely I would have had to call my police friends to tell them to ask their buddies to not give me a hard time for forgetting something when I'm so madly in love and cannot think straight all the time, because I'm in Cloud 9 and So In Love...Sighs....
About Hillary's suit she wore last night, the color reminds me of a favorite rain jacket that I wore in High School. It was so trendy and I was so proud of it, so flashy, but many people teased me saying they could see me in traffic miles away, so I giggled when I read about your feelings on her outfit, hee hee.
I Miss You, I Love You, now back to work for me,
Your Emotional Little Flower Rachelle xxxx oooo @>-->--
