  As I recall, some of Moby's songs have been used for the most commercial of purposes - TV commercials! This seems incongruent with his present feelings that pop music has become so commercial in the past 5 or so years (as if it is a bad thing).

  your such a nerd moby. stop wanting to be such a wannabe underground new yorker. theres nothing wrong with being successful and making good money. If it got to you thats your problem. your a talented dude. focus on your art and forget about all this b.s. pontificating you do.

  i saw you at moth once telling a story of doing cocaine for the first time with a stripper and hanging out with her all night. great story. you should have took her home and... dirty, dirty...

  If that is any reassuring, I am indeed one of the few people who listen to a CD as a whole. Some of us still do that.

  "Mistake", the little ditty played by Moby on today's show is mistitled. Indeed, after getting an earful of its musical and lyrical content, it is obvious that, rather titling it "mistake", Moby should more accurately have titled it "UTTER RUBBISH"!

  It is really sad to hear an artist like Moby feel the need to endlessly explain his underground credentials. After a while I actually thought he was kidding after he told John Schaefer he lived in an abandoned factory in a "crack neighborhood" and went to "obscure electronic clubs". I though Mr. Schaefer did an excellent job not laughing. Also Moby, we get it...you were in punk bands. fantastic.

  I really don't want to be mean, but it got to be ridiculous. It only really bothers me because he obviously feels the need to explain how lo-fi his record making process was and he really shouldn't have to. He actually makes some fine music, but his explaining absolutely kills it. For someone who thinks that music shouldn't be over-thought and left to speak for itself, he sure does a lot of talking about it.
