oh, i forgot to mention that ‘go the best of moby(aka me)’ came out in north america yesterday.
and, as shameless as it might be to schill for my own record, it’s a pretty good deal(i can’t objectively say that it’s a good record. i think it’s a good record, but taste is subjective. hopefully you’ll like it).
it contains about 300 songs(actually it has 15 songs on disc1 and 8 or 10 or so full length
remixes on disc2).
if you go to itunes in north america you can get all 300 songs(well, as i wrote earlier it’s actually more like 23 or 25 songs or so)for $11.99.
or you could just mug an old lady who might’ve just bought it and then steal her copy.
i’m not advocating mugging old ladies, nor am i advocating stealing things from freshly mugged old ladies. i’m just trying to be funny. operative word: trying.
in about 8 or 9 days the ‘go the best of moby(aka me)’ will come out in the rest of the world and it will have a bonus dvd with all of my videos and a little movie about, well, me(yes, i’m a complete and full blown narcissist. i’m going to go make out with myself in the mirror a la sarah silverman at the end of ‘jesus is magic’. actually i’d rather make out with sarah silverman. but she’s taken.).
so, to re-cap:
‘go the best of moby(aka me)’ is now out in north america and comes with 2 discs and a lot of music.
‘go the best of moby(aka me, i know the ‘aka me’ joke is getting tired, sorry)’ is out in the rest of the world(aka-not north america)in about a week and comes with 2 discs and all of my music videos and a movie about king mo the full blown narcissist.

p.s-i read an i-tunes review wherein the listener criticized me by saying ‘most musicians wait 15 years to put out a best of’. this made me laugh and it made me realize that i’m kind of old cos ‘go’ was actually released 16 years ago TODAY. yes, the orginal ‘go’ was released on instinct records in october(or november, i don’t completely remember. the ‘TODAY’ part just seemed dramatic)1990.
i was 25. i had hair. i lived on 14th and 3rd with damian loeb and stretch armstrong and lee millazzo. i returned cans at the a&p in union square(now it’s a food emporium)to get extra money to buy soymilk. i dj’ed sporadically and was making, on average, $10,000 a year. my rent was $225 a month. i bought my vinyl at dance trax and vinyl mania. i answered the phones at instinct when i wasn’t making music. and so on. and so on. now it’s 2006. whoo-boy, time passes quickly.
