it's been a busy few days.
on friday i flew to germany, and then saturday dj'ed at the love parade.
i believe that there were...1,300,000 people there?
perhaps all of those zeroes are confusing, or maybe they look like a typo.
allow me to abbreviate: there were 1.3 million people at the love parade?
that's a lot of people.
i'm posting a picture from the stage, and you can't really see all 1.3 million people, but
if you look close you can see people stretching to the horizon.
which, again, is a lot of people.
and then later that night i dj'ed in dortmund at a little club called vrstck.
i think that's what it's called.
no vowels, like a city in the balkans.
it ended up being a very late and very fun night(although i think i confused
the people at the club when i played 'paradise city'. eh, guns n roses + beer=make fun party
time in dortmund).
then this morning(well, 3pm) i woke up and went to the circle of love festival and dj'ed there(it was a fun
festival, although the rain dampened things a bit, literally and figuratively).
then hopped in a car(sorry i couldn't stay longer)and drove 3 hours to the netherlands
and dj'ed on the beach with fedde le grand.
now i'm finally back at the hotel in amsterdam, getting ready to watch 10 more episodes
of 30 rock.
and tomorrow i go to scotland.
and then manchester.
and then global gathering.
and then edinburgh.
and then london.
and then nyc.
and then l.a.
and etc.
sometimes 'etc' is my lazy way of not having to continue with a list, and other times 'etc'
is my way of sparing you having to read my schedule.
i'm sorry i'm not more insightful right now, but i'm tired to the core of my being.
ok, i hope you had a good weekend.

Thanks!
Thanks a lot for your brilliant performance at the Loveparade. I was there myself and it was an amazing show, just like the whole day was amazing.
And you are right - it really doesn't look like 1,6 million people (which is the official number; the police counted seperately and also gave out the number of 1,6 million), but you have to remember that only a part of these people were acutally in front of the stage.
The other part was on the highway next to the stage, of course, which was about 1 or 2km long and crowded with poeple.

This image show this quite well, although it also doesn't catch the whole location and i doubt any photo can catch the whole place and all the 1,6 million people ;)
anyways, i'm looking forward to seeing you in Germany again :) Any plans to visit the Loveparades in Bochum, Gelsenkirchen or Duisburg in the next three years?

Speaking of GnR, it looks like Chinese Democrace is finally gonna come out (or maybe not). I know you worked with A. Rose for awhile on a version of the record. I wonder if you have heard the latest leaked tracks on the internet and if any of your work is still in there or what you think of the new versions.

a technical question
moby, i'm loving your blog entries and musings! you're a talented guy, and it's great to hear your thoughts.
i apologize in advance for leaving this posting in a completely strange place, but it doesn't look like you have another spot for this kind of question yet. i was approved for several songs from your mobygratis site and am very excited about it - i make films for nonprofits, and this is a great resource. for some reason however, i get an error message that says that i am "not authorized to download this file."
anywhere you can direct me to get help? i'm coming up on a deadline soon and am currently music-less.
same technical problem
I'm having the same problem with downloading a song i was approved for on moby gratis. I am approved for a song but when I click to download it says i do not have authorization. How can i fix this? I am in a time crunch as well and would appreciate any help.
Thanks!
