Touch A Hero

Hey, everybody: Reluctantly heterosexual digital sampler Moby will be appearing LIVE at the Virgin Megastore in Union Square tomorrow to sign copies of his new CD! The flier instructs you to "purchase a copy of Last Night to receive a wristband to meet MOBY." Or, just hang around on the street outside with a cup of tea, talking loudly about how your gay children are going to be starring in a car commercial that could really use a good ambient soundtrack, and watch him come to you.

Having 'a chance to meet Moby!' is a bit like having a raffle for 'your chance to ride the world-famous New York subway!'

Also, this cd signing took place in 1994. Moby. Dude. If you're smart enough to steal everyone's music, then you're smart enough to know that people don't buy CDs!!!

(P.S. I know he doesn't steal music. He probably gives someone a candy bar for like a song or something. I don't know. Beep boop mixology mr. dj. here to stay.)

Find me an alley near Virgin and a plague cat, and I'm in.

I would like to get one of these bracelets, if only to hurl buffalo chicken fingers and sweaty lunch meats at him.

The "Moby has herpes" rumor back in the late ninties made the rounds and died. Might be time for it to do a Lazarus.

Does he hand out the wristbands as he wanders the city, expressing vapid opinions and attempting to get people to have sex with him?
Because I could totally see that.

@CodePink: That's a good point. When it's all digital files what type of signing would the artist participate in?

My ridiculous comment above was meant for fiveinchtaint.

@Cheap Shot: The artist would send you a "Hello, thank your listening to my song" text message on your IPhone whenever you listened to one of his/her songs.

@TheHonJudgeSmails: I think that's my third reference to that movie in the last week. I need new material.

Re: Moby
Dear All,
We were just interested in a few tracks — about ten years ago. You can have him. That is all.
Signed,

If he will be there live, I will be there dead.

I once encountered Moby at a post-modern ambient deep jazz flute house, but I didn't get any awesome wristband to commemorate the event.

I'll always remember when he declared techno dead and covered Mission To Burma at Lollapalooza. He's been 40 for a long time, huh?
