I thought he was alright, I don't follow people on social media and such, but honestly his recent tattoos have made me realize maybe he's a little weirder than I thought. Haha. It's his body, sure, but really off-putting as a casual fan. Play is still a great album though. 👌 and he has good music recommendations.

Moby did not disappoint. I also like how the video was edited so we get to hear the solo in the Bad Brains track that he's talking about. Thanks Amoeba!

He actually covered a Bad Brains song “Sailin’ On” in 1999, that is a stunning, beautiful, atmospheric, melancholic song.

I love that scene in American Graffiti when Toad is opening beers to give to Debbie while the radio is playing in the background "I Only Have Eyes For You" by the Flamingos. That was the song me and my wife chose to dance to at our wedding reception.

"Let me have a 3 musketeers, and a ball point pen, one of those combs there, a pintofoldharper, ah a couple of flashlight batteries and some beef jerky."

One of his biggest selling albums was "Play." You may actually know some of the songs on that album and not realize it's him, as every song on the album was licensed for commercial use.

It's amazing how many people in this series buy the Bad Brains CD or LP because they used to have it on cassette. Kudos to Moby for admitting he is a Yes fan.

he's the brain! very intellectual and intelligent person. great taste and erudition, really good picks.

this was great. I love his description of the flamingos

i have never listened to moby but he showed in this video that he has major appreciation for some of my favorite bands, gonna have to check his music out

And I thought I was the only Bad Brains fan in the world who still loves "Close To The Edge" by Yes. I had no idea Moby was such a cool guy with impeccable taste. :)

OMG I love Moby, he was my first concert ever and it was the best until now! unforgetable

The Buzzcocks/Husker Dü comparison is actually spot on and it never actually occurred to me until Moby said it.

It's funny, rock musicians buy mainly electronic/dance music, and electronic/dance musicians, buy rock/blues...He's spot on about "I only have eyes for you", totally narcotic sounding.

Moby is one of the most relevant people is music today just like David Bowie and Bjork

Good taste

sick sick picks and man his agnostic front tshirt!!!

Whoa. Did not expect Yes after those first two picks. Diverse taste is the best taste.

well done. i knew i would enjoy this one.

Love that he picked up a Bad Brains cd. He seems like a cool person. Reminds me of Billy Corgan, the way he talks about music and stuff.

Love his picks, eclectic....intelligent man. Great interpretations of engineering of tracks.

Great picks all around.

i knew he started out in the punk scene but that was pretty awesome. Great selection.

I love this man as he sees the world, his vision of life

I'm in love with him

Good stuff!

The original image of Blind Willie Johnson was incorrect. Some of the folks here pointed it out, so we re-uploaded it with the correct image.

0:58 the intermission on *Chili Peppers "Good Times Boys"* ('Mother's Milk' RHCP LP).

This man needs his own show

"The best hardcore album ever made". Never were truer words spoken.

Yes is awesome playing live. Ba-lee-dat!

Great picks

Dude check out the “One Life One Chance” podcast with Toby Morris! Moby was around in the early days of Hardcore!

Yes is awesome!

i'm just glad no obscure jazz music was involved

the flamingos - i only have eyes for you is the tune the fugees sample on zealots! both are awesome!

I'm not very familiar with his music but I feel like I can listen to him talk forever. Now I'm curious...

Couldn’t agree more with his assessment of “I only have eyes for you”. I feel kinda dopey and subdued when I listen to that song. Kinda psychedelic, too.

Underwater in a methadone clinic is such a perfect description of that 50s super reverb pop stuff.

I like PunkyMoby !

His comment about how husker du and buzzcocks are similar is so spot on.

Everyone shits on Moby but he is a music licensing genius!!!

cant really fuck with moby's music but he seems like a sick dood

Damn, I could hang out with him for hours, while we play our records to each other and discuss the music...

great interview and great taste from moby, aside from YES, lol

They're about to put out a surround sound version of Yes' Close to the Edge with a bunch of a bonus stuff that wasn't on the Rhino reissue so that should be pretty cool.

I can hear him talk all day

imho Moby is one of the most talented musicians alive. true artist.

Man I'd LOVE to sit down with Moby & just have a conversation about anything, preferably music.

I remember Dave Ghrol of Foo Fighters/Nirvana saying that the best Punk Rock show he had ever been to was a Bad Brains show in D.C.

i want that NON shirt!

@ Jesusjuicerful - the song at 0:49 is "White Girl" by X

X!

he needs to have a studio tour... wondering how he's storing his gear these days.

Can someone explain the constant Moby hate? I've never understood it. I grew up with early Moby albums hidden in my dad's music library and playing it when he was out. Kind of how I found out about all the music I listen to now. I've always loved his style, although his early songs can kind of wash themselves out with how much goes on. He seems intelligent and nice enough, is there something I've been missing all these years?

@2:38 that is American Mozart. Once of the best American songs ever produced

Awesome... because that is uncanny. If anyone asks me about music recording or production. I say go and listen to the flamingoes 'i only have eyes for you'. Sonic perfection.

I love it when people say stuff like "because I'm old", and I'm 10 years older than they are...

Moby knows his stuff

What an obscure choice for "Most well know L.A. band" by Moby. Nationally there are only a handful of people who ever heard of Wild Gift. No one better encapsulates the L.A . "Look and Feel" and "Sound and Vibe" than Van Halen!

I agree with his point about Rick Wakeman. His solos weren't up to scratch often. But try telling HIM that.
