more updates. or blogs.
or what have you.
i’ll make this one relatively factual.
with a list.
i love lists.
a-i did an interview for air america yesterday. air america filed for chapter 11 yesterday.
someone should buy air america. they already have the brand awareness and good numbers. and there’s a surfeit of vc money floating around. some angel investor should buy air america and spend $50,000,000 on marketing and on-line strategy and expanded range. it’s a good deal, whatever the asking price.
b-it is perfect in nyc today. 58 degrees and not a cloud in the sky and it’s perfect. and i was just reading the economist on the roof while eating blueberry pancakes(sad little blueberries, all shrivel-y and expensive at the end of the season)and the economist(not the most liberal of magazines)basically said that the only hopes that the republicans have for retaining the house and senate are incumbency, weird districts, and corrupt voting machines. wow, that’s a compelling case for continuing republican leadership…
c-we’re doing(by ‘we’ i mean ‘band and i’)the tonic show on tuesday. tonic is tiny. fantastic, but tiny. and i’m hoping that we’ll be able to release 5 or 10 tickets on the night of the show. i can’t promise anything, but that’s what i’m hoping. tonic only holds around 200 people. it should be fun: 90 minute live set with band followed by dick-master-dee-jay-mo-b-on-the-wheels-of-cheese-y-rave.
d-the ‘best ofs’ are being released soon. and they’re all, for better or worse, different… the north american ‘best of moby’ cd’s are coming out on october 24th. and they will include a bonus disc with a whole bunch of full length(and fairly rare)remixes.
the best of’s in the world outside of north america will be released on november 6th, and will include a bonus disc/dvd(in most countries)containing a little movie about me(aka-the narcissist)and almost every music video i’ve ever made.
the track listing for all of the ‘best of’s’ are different from country to country. i’d say: ‘collect them all!’, but that’d be a lot of collecting…
e-‘slipping away’ with myelene farmer and me has now been #1 in france and switzerland. mylene is much cuter than i, and she sings better, too. thus the #1 single…
f-yes, pedantically, ‘mylene is much cuter than i’ is grammatically correct. or so i believe. right? no? ok.
g-on sunday i’m performing as the house band(along with the losers lounge)at the comedy central autism fundraiser. it’s kind of nuts how many amazing comedians will be a part of this. ricky gervais, sascha baron-coen, mike meyers, john stewart, etc. it should be fun, even if i don’t know how to spell the comedians names.
i guess that’s it for now.
in closing: buy air america, come to tonic on tuesday, enjoy the republican melt-down, ‘best of’s’ coming out soon, ‘slipping away’ #1 in france in switzerland, sunday autism fundraiser.
i guess i could’ve avoided the long list and just had the a.d.d summation.
but i like a good list.
thanks
