Some of Moby’s output was decent when it came out , the genre hopping was always worthwhile too , but he always came across as a bit of a knob in interviews ,not creepy just a bit …, y’know like the sort of bloke who just tells you his blood test results.

when i was a dramatic & depressed 14 year old, i saw this on my dads shelf. i nicked it thinking it was going to be some top shelf emo bullshit that “spoke to my tortured soul” or something. i’ll never forget the whiplash listening to the ghost rider intro for the first time lol

In 1981 John Craven interviewed me for BBC1 Swap Shop as I visited all 92 League clubs. His signed photo read: "We'll film you again when you have done all the Non-League clubs!" Now 45 years later John Craven has interviewed me for a BBC report ahead of my last Non-League ground

The more I hear about Chappell Roan’s apparently side of the story, the more I deep how hilariously poor of an excuse it was lol No security guard of THE top1 luxury hotel in são paolo is verbally abusing the daughter of a rich guy playing for Flamengo to defend a foreigner

Each and every one of these Listening Parties was an amazing thing

It is with deep sadness that I share the heartbreaking news that Valerie has passed away. She faced Parkinson’s disease with incredible courage and compassion. She lived life to the fullest and what a magnificent life it was. @JamesGunn @ThatKevinSmith gofund.me/68a845e42

Thought that was Bryan Cranston there , still not sure that it isn’t

Chappell Roan isn’t real, it’s a modern baba yaga myth meant to scare misbehaving children. Brush your teeth or Chappell will get you

I don’t wanna show the guy up, but Moby should be careful what he says. the cockettes And their friends used to follow us around on tour. We appreciated them. Why is Moby being so rude about this simple song? We’re not trans phobic. Why does he have to have a go at us?

to @thelittleidiot Moby’s criticism of our song LOLA these are the words sent to me and Ray from our dear friend trans icon @jaynecounty27 #JayneCounty. I am highly insulted that MOBY would accuse my brother of being ‘unevolved’ or transphobic in any way. theguardian.com/music/2026/mar…

Nobody fell off harder than the hammerhead shark. Was a top shark for me as a kid and now completely obsolete in media and conversation.

lore drop: i once told a guy at a farmer’s market his flute playing was very andre 3000–esque he said “that’s good, i am andre 3000” we chatted for a bit, then he drifted off playing the flute. no one else around knew who he was compliment people, you never know where it may lead

RIP Johnny Sack you would’ve loved this

Timely reminder of when this guy reviewed that guy... Iggy Pop on Gibbon's Decline and Fall (Classics Ireland, 1995): Caesar Lives by Iggy Pop In 1982, horrified by the meanness, tedium and depravity of my existence as I toured the American South playing rock and roll music and going crazy in public, I purchased an abridged copy of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (Dero Saunders, Penguin). The grandeur of the subject appealed to me, as did the cameo illustration of Edward Gibbon, the author, on the front cover. He looked like a heavy dude. Being in a political business, I had long made a habit of reading biographies of wilful characters — Hitler, Churchill, MacArthur, Brando — with large profiles, and I also enjoyed books on war and political intrigue, as I could relate the action to my own situation in the music business, which is not about music at all, but is a kind of religion-rental. I would read with pleasure around 4 am, with my drugs and whisky in cheap motels, savouring the clash of beliefs, personalities and values, played out on antiquity’s stage by crowds of the vulgar, led by huge archetypal characters. And that was the end of that. Or so I thought. Eleven years later I stood in a dilapidated but elegant room in a rotting mansion in New Orleans, and listened as a piece of music strange to my ears pulled me back to ancient Rome and called forth those ghosts to merge in hilarious, bilious pretence with the Schwartzkopfs, Schwartzeneggers and Sheratons of modern American money and muscle myth. Out of me poured information I had no idea I ever knew, let alone retained, in an extemporaneous soliloquy I called ‘Caesar’. When I listened back, it made me laugh my ass off because it was so true. America is Rome. Of course, why shouldn’t it be? All of Western life and institutions today are traceable to the Romans and their world. We are all Roman children for better or worse. The best part of this experience came after the fact — my wife gave me a beautiful edition in three volumes of the magnificent original unabridged Decline and Fall, and since then the pleasure and profit have been all mine as I enjoy the wonderful language, organization and scope of this masterwork. Here are just some of the ways I benefit: I feel a great comfort and relief knowing that there were others who lived and died and thought and fought so long ago; I feel less tyrannized by the present day. I learn much about the way our society really works, because the system-origins — military, religious, political, colonial, agricultural, financial — are all there to be scrutinized in their infancy. I have gained perspective. The language in which the book is written is rich and complete, as the language of today is not. I find out how little I know. I am inspired by the will and erudition which enabled Gibbon to complete a work of twenty-odd years. The guy stuck with things. I urge anyone who wants life on earth to really come alive for them to enjoy the beautiful ancestral ancient world.
