What's the deal with MOBY? September 3, 2000 What's the deal with MOBY? Just last week, he was on NBC's "Later", where it was proudly mentioned that all 18 songs on his multi-platinum "Play" album have been licenced for commercials or films. All 18 songs! Can you believe that? Can you believe that this is the same guy who wrote the liner notes to "Animal Rights"? Moby has incorporated visions of diamond rings, summer blockbusters, and automobiles into the themes of the songs on his latest album...or has he? I'm sure that Moby will maintain that all of the songs on his album are important, but how on earth are we, the listeners, supposed to shake the images of Volkswagens from our minds while listening to them? Wait a minute! Isn't Moby the guy who HATES CARS? Isn't the fact that his music appears in a car commercial a bit hypocritical? By the way, this isn't the first time Moby's music has appeared in a car commercial. This post from www.moby.org explains Moby's intentions from the FIRST time he allowed his music in a car commercial:
Since this posting, there has been no mention of what has happened to the oodles of royalties that Moby has received for having his music in car commercials. The Paperless One wouldn't buy a Volkswagen anyway! |
