Defend the indefensible/POO: Moby - Play

Always a good time to post this account of being in Moby's band and pretending to play keyboards:

i think tbh that the selling out for Moby wasn't much of an issue bc the usual folks who'd cry "sellout!" at a musician licensing their songs only moan if it's rock music, i don't think blues-sampling electronic tunes are gonna register for them.

Great read! Makes me both respect and disrespect Moby.

Also there's a podcast interview where Moby addresses Richard D James calling him a buffoon and an elitist. Moby thinks (or at least lies about it) that he called him a buffoon because he played guitar on stage and that he was being called an elitist for having insomnia and not being talkative. These Jim Poe anecdotes actually reveal the reason... he was just dancing on stage like a buffoon with unplugged instruments and he travelled on airplane while everyone else (including Aphex Twin and Orbital) travelled by bus with the rest of the roadies and staff.

Points to RDJ and fuck you Moby.

It also shows how Moby was a businessman first and a musician second so the shameless selling out of Play shouldn't be surprising to any of his fans.

dude aint got no soul

good read that Jim Poe article

It seems that Jim Poe article has vanished from the intertubes.
