moby. again.

so remember when i reviewed the new moby? well i said i was not going to miss his show, so i did go to see him a little over a week ago. and i totally stalked him. hey, if you post where you are eating on twitter, you are fair game, am i right? well, anyway, moby said he was eating at essene so i went there. and he was sitting in there. just sitting in there, eating with his friends. so i waited outside and ran after him when he came out. he was extremely nice. i brought his new album on vinyl, and he drew on it and signed it for me. and he left me 4 tickets at the box office for anyone else who decided to come. 4 tickets! unfortunately no one else could make it but it's the thought that counts. anyway, he was just really really nice to me. and his show kicked ass as well. i had never really seen him before*, and it was a great first show for me to see him. moby can do no wrong, and after that night, i will always love him, even more than i did before. this is me being really happy:



*ok, so this one time, my boyfriend took me to a tribute to marc bolan/t.rex in new york, and i was convinced we were going to just casually bump into moby, especially since we ate at teany earlier. which we didn't of course, because you don't just casually bump into people in freaking new york. however, he just happened to also be at the show, in the audience, unfortunately not anywhere near us (although we were front row which was pretty kickass). but he got asked to go up and play on a song, which he did (20th century boy). so technically, yes, i have seen moby before, but i didn't think that him playing guitar for one song, and not even one of his songs, actually counted.

moby

wow.
i finally listened to the new moby record.
wow.
i mean, i have always loved moby, but seriously.
wow.
it came out right at the end of june, and i just got around to buying it this weekend. miss dork here bought it on vinyl. WHITE VINYL. wee! it's really pretty looking. and seriously, seriously beautiful sounding. i waited to listen to it, because it's called wait for me. ha, i'm kidding. i waited because i wanted to listen to the whole thing at once, uninterrupted. moby wanted me to. today was my day to do that, and i'm glad i listened to it that way.
it's perhaps a tad darker than what he is generally known for, but i believe it just bumped its way up to my favorite moby record. sorry, everything is wrong and animal rights. it's melancholy and melodic and just really really pretty. i just can't stress enough how much i love this record. and he's finally doing a u.s. tour this autumn; you can bet your butt i will be there.
so besides the fact that i am in love with his music and i think he is a very talented musician...i happen to agree with him on many things (politics, animal rights, etc.). so that just makes him way cooler to me than he already was. plus, he looks cute in funny hats.
