M Is For Moby
*Originally released January 31st 2017*
This week, Steve and Doug tackle the varied and long-lasting career of Moby, from heady techno to punk to sampling a capella gospel to ambient insomnia cures. The guys also chat about break up songs, sexy songs, abstract songs, and Top of the Pops.
Music featured this week:
Disco Lies - Last Night
Feeling So Real - Everything Is Wrong
Natural Blues - Play
Lucy Vida - Last Night
1:01 - Haha! This recording ran long, so Steve had to rush home, get changed, and dash off to work
11:13 - Despite Moby's destitute upbringing, his grandparents were well off and were able to definitively trace their lineage quite successfully, according to his second autobiography Then It Fell Apart
24:18 - Moby's first performance at Top Of The Pops was a surreal experience for him, as he had to pretend to play his own song, and was then told he was "getting too into it" by the producers
1:03:47 - Nothing can stop us now, because "We Are All Made Of Stars"
1:28:45 - After reading about Moby's addiction issues, the sentiment that Wait For Me is a deeply personal album rings even more true
