My mini-review of 18:

My mini-review of 18:

18 is kind of like going back to your favorite restauraunt after a few years, outwardly professing that you want change, but inwardly hoping that they’ve kept your favorite dish exactly as you remember it. And you get there, and you order your dish, and it’s just like you remember it, but somehow it’s better. They changed something, and you don’t know what, but it’s just a little better than it used to be. And no worse for the parts that haven’t changed, either.

California vs.

California vs. Texas.

“You’ve got these two cultures opposing each other,” says Kevin Starr, the state librarian of California. “Wine and cheese against beer and nachos, greenfields vs. brownfields, skeptics against practicing believers, the uprooted and the traditionalists . granola against grits.”

A helpful link from Moby.

Saturday, May 18th, 2002

A helpful link from Moby. Also, I note that when he first mentioned the record release party he pointed out that it would “be happening on the 15th at an UNDISCLOSED LOCATION.” That’s so cool — Moby is playing at Dick Cheney’s old club!

dsandler << 18

I bought the new Moby, 18, today. I brought it home, pressed the “eject” key on the iMac, inserted the CD. I asked the Internet if it had seen this one before, and “yes,” it said, “I’ve seen this one and I quite like it. here are the track names, by the way, if you’re interested.” About five minutes later, iTunes chimed politely, and as i removed 18 from the drive I realized that I had taken 18 and owned it. I bought it earlier today, but by taking those bits and adding them, subsuming them into my music library, that I have fully taken ownership of Moby’s work.

And I haven’t listened to it yet.

But I will, right now, straight through. Because he’s been nice enough to let me listen. And somehow, I don’t think he’ll mind that I’ve decided to copy the music onto my hard drive, any more than he’d mind me wanting to hang his art on my wall. But this way, everyone else can have it on his wall, too.
