4:30 a.m and just finishing work for the night

Moby,

I decided to write. Things have been hectic in my life. Too obsessed, too upset, and complaining with things I shouldn't even be concerned about. Will I ever get over Pulitzer Prize? There is someone but let me guess he's a doctor. My life. There are some secrets in my life. One thing I've noticed is that I have my father's pride. I avoid confrontations only when it pisses me off do I attend to things. I'm in a slump. I'm saving some money if I can and I will live in NYC one day before I turn 30. I still listen to Wait for Me and I plan a talent show revenge one day dedicated to the Omega Institute. I'm mentally disabled now. So What? So what that my dreams slipped away. So what, Capitalism. I'm greatful that I got a bed and such and that I can be lazy, but I'm limited. I'm not schizophrenic anymore, I'm---. This is supposed to be a letter to you but since it's public I'll say hello world. I am wishing for a present from my half sister. I don't know if I got it of not. I still want to let you know that I love you. Oh I have a facebook page that says Peace Guild For Schizophrenia. I dont know about being a master. My wisdom is from experience and I don't know if some mentally disabled person will look to me in the future. Will there be a book for TOday Show, How I got Over Paul Salopek, Of will the book title be Lice in your hair, or better yet the" Enlightened Schizophrenic," What to do when you Fall in love with Pulitzer Prize. The Book for Ann Curry. I don't know yet. I hope those who know me understand and That I'm not a villain out for a married man, he was a worthy friend. Somebody who went to DARFUR is somebody special. Somebody who developed a mental illness is special too. I'm praying that somebody falls in love with me. I hope that someone falls in love with me. I want to be snuggled next to a team mate. I don't want to live life all alone. Wait. Moby, I love you and If I had all the money in the world I'd be your friend. I'm not into Politics right now so I apologize if I dont respond to your comments. So You can wait for that book for the Today Show. I got a thing or two to still learn about mental illnesses. Peace Out Bro. Natasha

Haven't been online for so long, infact I stopped using the interweb for 6 months, a neon screen and humming keys, I wasn't missed, or heard, like the tree falling in the woods I guess...The neon screen just kissed my face and my first stop was here.
Just popped by to say hello, amused by the musings, honest as always can be. Like coming home when I read, very comforting, like toast and soup.
Bon Iver.
Heartbreak.
France.
Rain.
A good winter indeed!
If he were to preform on the grammys, and all recognition be good for good work, I wouldnt watch it still.
Soundtracks and songs are best captured in real moments not prepared ones, doesn't have the same reverance to me.

Nice to be home with the little idiots!
I've missed you so! Very much x

Bach, Rameau or Haendel were (in a certain way) indie musicians and they never received grammy awards. however, we still listen to their music (a music created in the 17th century). Rimbaud or Van goh died poor and unknown.. an artwork is timeless. it can't answer to punctual fashion demand. the true art goes against the current. that's why it isn't invited to grammy's.

I agree that too much emphasis is placed on image and PR hype and the song itself becomes secondary in its popularity. There is nothing wrong with being mainstream, so long as it's mainstream for the right reasons, i.e, passionate artists with great melodies that move the masses. This is how I see your music Moby. There is a 'mainstream consciousness' aware of your music. Whether it makes it to the Grammy's or not means absolutley nothing to me. It exists and that is all I need.

I have included a link below of a song that I have written and sung to your 'Everloving'. I aspire to be able to 'officially' collaborate with you or sing my vocal version live with you at some time in our future.

I hope you like it.

Much love and respect

I just became a "member" of your site moments ago. One because of the things you said in your most recent blog. Not being mainstream is one of the things that draw me to your music. Here are some others.

I work for Hard Rock Cafe here in the United States. I have been employed with them for about a year now and in that time have been somewhat introduced to your music via videos. While one of your vids was playing, the other day, I spoke of how I was really digging your tunes. My Manager immediately spoke up and said "You know I had a cocktail with Moby once!"

He proceeded to tell me about being in Atlanta (I believe 5-6 years ago) and how he was simply walking down the street when he looked over at a limo with its window partially down. Make a long story short he recognized you and the two of you had a brief conversation...Cool enough! But the story continued when he said he went out the next night to a Martini bar by himself while other employees went elsewhere. Just so happens you were there and recognized him as he did you, again...lol. Anyways you had him over at your table and bought him a martini. End of story.

Down to earth, cool, talented, etc. is who makes you in my opinion. Most at your "level" in the entertainment industry wouldn't have given 2 seconds or 2 shits about this guy.

Which is why you can now call me a fanboi...lol.

Cool cool...

bumrocks

p.s. I have no clue as to whether you even read these post. Hope you do! You'd be all the cooler... ;)

Good Evening My Love,

I wrote *you* this morning on Myspace.com in reply to this very journal, however, I was in a hurray, as I had to finish getting ready for work and go to the showroom, so I couldn’t write *you* as much as I wanted to at that time.

I wanted to mention more about the Grammy’s. I find that today’s top music isn’t as lovely as past years, however there are some wonderful songs and some very talented music artists out there who put their all into their performances and I give them credit for such. Unfortunately, many musician’s, such as yourself, aren’t blessed with being in the charts and I know not why, because your music is so magical and breathtaking and it doesn’t make sense to me that such beautiful music isn’t all over the media airways on the radio stations. Last year when *you* were nominated for the Dance Music Grammy I was so excited and proud of *you*. I was sad and disappointed that *you* weren’t given the award, as *you* deserved it so much, but it was special nonetheless that *you* were nominated. Isn’t that so exciting!! I know, the main stream media does seemingly have a way of unfortunately making things dirty and so I’m not surprised that *you* have a dampened outlook on the top music charts, however, there are music artists that do sing, play and write with their heart and souls intact. I understand if *you* aren’t interested at all in watching or even paying any attention the Grammy’s and the Top 40 Music Chart, however, I feel compelled to tell *you* that your music is so beautiful and should be part of the charts. Some of the crap that I hear on the radio makes me wonder who chooses the top music and then there are some songs that are captivating and touching. There is a mixture and if *you* do decide sometime to grit your teeth and give a go at listening to the charts one day, perhaps *you* will hear some songs *you* really love and won’t be so against it. I’m still praying & wishing that *you* get a Grammy someday my love. *You* so deserve it!!!!

I have followed the Top 40’s and Grammy’s much throughout the years, because I love music and one main reason for years when I was choreographing dance was that I wanted to keep on the up and up (Familiar) with the ‘in’ music so I could relate to the youth that I was teaching. Now it’s basically because I am interested. I love music and so I try to give all music a chance, although, I am very picky and dis-like much too. I am more prone to listen to certain music genre’s than others and there are some artists and songs that if they come on the radio that I don’t wish to listen to and thus will change the radio station, because of such.

Have a beautiful evening my love!!! Big Warm Embrace xo

I Love *You* With All My Heart,

Your Eternal Love Rachelle

You are so rude. This is not your website! This is not a forum for you to get ppl to buy your junk! This is for moby fans only not for ppl spreading propaganda on what we should buy! Launch your own website if you wish to do this and quit filling moby's with your junk!

A true moby fan,

I feel the same way as you feel about mainstream music, only I feel that way about everything! What pissed me off about the golden globes was that it was sponsored by chrystler. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but didn't we as tax payers bail chrystler out? That means that basically we paid for celebrities to throw a bash in their honor! That just PISSES ME OFF! Maybe it is the celebrities that should be paying for us normal folk to throw a bash in our honor! I mean if it wasn't for us, the fans, they would be as dirt poor as us!

I am sick of the amount of money celebs make. You're fine Moby because you're still a human with a heart. It upsets me so, because being an actor is like a dream job even without the money. I know because i am a true artist of characters! Ever since I was a little girl I have made up characters with full biographies and all. Ever since i can remember I have been writing plays and the like.

It would be an honor to portray a character in such a way that would move an audience to emotion. I would never accept millions of dollars to do so and if I did you better believe I'd give every dime back to the people that are truly suffering in this world! Keep working on your music Moby. You can write a cliche song but as long as it holds deeper meaning in your heart, we, your beloved audience, will fall in love with every word you write.

Write a song for us all Moby! Write a song in honor of all of us who know what it truly means to be alive...

Love,
Cael

Hi Moby, i replied to this journal earlier on Myspace but thought i would stop by here to. I must say how i love your music and think you work so hard to achieve wonderful music and make people happy. You rock!! I use to visit Moby.com a good few years ago way back in 2000, and all through the time you owned Teany with Kelly, right up just before you broke ties with Teany etc. I may have visited a few more times after on and off. I think i remember the page layout was different back in 2000? and if i remember correctly you had a link to a panic attack help page. I never ever thought to register and leave you messages and such plus i was using the library computer back then :) and it was a bit awkward. Also around that time i was so busy and then my dad got sick in '05. I wish i had messaged you back then mo.

Wishing you a great evening. xxx Gosh time flies....

why france is romantic for an american ?
is it an american picturing of france or is it my picturing of an american's picturing of france ?
never mind. france is no more romantic. there are millions of unemployed, millions of poor people, of homeless. france is the european country where drug consumption is the more important. it's a violent country, especially on the road and at home...
i stop here my litany.
but please, dont'refer to this country as a romantic place.

Seeing a similar situation with film and literature these days, too--takes so many sales for all involved to turn a profit, and so much marketing to make that many sales, that manufactured/tailored-for-their-demographic products are virtually the only thing we see in mainstream arts.

What's really crazy is that because of the success of indies, many of the big companies are trying to market products that have "the indie feel" or "the indie look" - spending big bucks trying to ape low production values and cheap film stock. Unfortunately, those big bucks don't seem to go into funding actual talented indie artists (with their irritating brains), but more malleable performers who can be shaped and styled to fit the demographic they're aimed at. It's a crazy world...!

Cierto, la música ya no es como antes. Por suerte hay buenos musicos como Moby aún :D

Besitos!

'to think that at one point the charts were comprised of john lennon and nirvana and simon and garfunkel and the clash and neil young and marvin gaye and other artists who wrote their own songs and were utterly and passionately committed to making music that was sincere and powerful. and now manufactured product reigns supreme.'

Hallelujah!
The light is coming...at last.
the grace is upon us!

now, lets get on our knees and pray.

;-)

...this is why we love Your way of making real music!
If you feel like that again,you might want to check
Peter Gabriel's new work on Scratch my back -
think you'll like it.
Can't wait for your new Album to come.

Love & Peace
Many

Don't limit yourself, Moby. I believe you can set the bar for the industry. Please, don't write off the genre completely, it's awesome to hear you over the airwaves! As for the grammies, it's just like the oscars to me in that many great actors have been snubbed. You are not the outcast, you're just too ahead of your time for those people to "get it." I unofficially award you album of the year for WFM! Congratulations!!! =)

PS I listen to Music Choice over the cable system, I've managed to catch remixes of Mistake on the Dance/Electronica station, but where are all the original songs? Shouldn't you be getting some air time on the alternative stations as well? Is there someone i can write in to?

I think the music industry has always been more comfortable with manufactured products. Even the Beatles had an image that was manufactured to make them more acceptable to a wider public. (Compare the leather-clad rockers of Hamburg to the suited mop-tops that took America by storm a few years later.)

The singer-songwriter is a relatively recent innovation - until the 60s there was a distinct division of labour. Hence Tin Pan Alley, the Brill Building, and the songwriting teams at Hitsville USA, which produced some great tunes (and some back ones) back in their days. There have always been plenty of manufactured pop idols to keep the singer-songwriters company. (And, I agree, most of it has always been rubbish.)
