if you have some time on your hands you can crawl inside my head (figuratively, i'm assuming) here:

http://www.magnetmagazine.com/category/guest-editor/

for some reason the nice people at magnet magazine asked me to guest edit (in other words: pick 10 or so things that i like)their online magazine this week. or month.

it's deep and profound stuff (like my love of corn on the cob, gwar, and family guy).

oh, and last night in arras (yes, puns were made) was great. it started pouring rain so i dragged my microphone and guitar amp (i'm not bright) into the rain with the 60,000 people who were getting wet.

note to performers: if your audience is standing in the rain watching you then you need to be standing in the rain, too. it's also not every day that you get to look into people's kitchens as you're walking to the stage. see, the arras festival is in the town square, so to get to the stage you walk through the town.  and said walk involves walking past apartments where people are eating dinner and watching tv.

it also involved talking to nice french journalists while lenny kravitz and franz ferdinand were onstage (not at the same time, just to be clear). it's a night off in belgium, so i think i might go see the new sam raimie film. and yes, i know it's not that new.  and yes, i don't know how to spell sam raimie. but it looks good, something about a young person being dragged to hell. then it's off to estonia.
and manchester.
and wales.
and serbia.
and hungary.
and amsterdam.
and austria.
and latvia.
and france.
and rome.
and etc.
and etc.
and etc.
i know it's not terribly green, but i would really appreciate it if someone would give me a helicopter.

thank you,

Hi from malta. Wasn't napoleon exiled here? Its an amazing place. Very rocky and old.

And today (well, monday) is the day 'wait for me' is released (except for usa, where its released tuesday, I think). I hope you like it. Well, assuming you hear it. If you hear it I hope you like it.

I apologize for seeming/sounding self-serving, but I'm really happy with 'wait for me'. I don't expect it to be a huge selling pop smash, as its not really a record that big pop audiences will have much interest in. Its quieter and more emotional and more mournful and prettier than any other record I've made, and that's probably why I like it a lot.

If you get a copy of it please let me know what you think.

Thank you,

Moby

i just walked off stage tonight in zagreb and a man came up to me and says, 'michael jackson gone!' what?

utter confusion, until someone else runs up to me and said, 'michael jackson just died'. i mean, what? really?

i'm writing this update before checking the news (which probably isn't wise of me), so is it true? michael jackson is dead at 50 of a heart attack?

that's what the people with the i-phones backstage are saying. i'm here on an island in a lake in zagreb, and i'm backstage with n*e*r*d and anthrax and the editors and everyone's trying to figure out what's going on.

now someone's showing me a google news headline and yes, michael jackson is dead at 50 of a heart attack. at 50?

so young. what a complete and utter shame.

list time.

todays list:

a one week until 'wait for me' is released. sorry if that seems self-serving, but i thought you'd like to know. maybe that's presumptuous of me. in any case, one week until 'wait for me' is released. the album art is all cartoons/illustrations that i've drawn. yup.

b the 'pale horses' single is out now. i only mention this as there are a lot of really cool remixes as part of the single package. the original song is, of course, on 'wait for me'. but if you want the remixes they're available now. i can say that the remixes are good because i didnt' actually do any of them.

c last night i led 50,000 german festival go-ers in a sing-a-long of 'ring of fire'. that was fun.

d why doesn't chocolate soy pudding exist in the u.s and a? as part of the u.s re-joining the world community i think that importing chocolate soy pudding should be an integral step. we can't be true citizens of the world without being able to have easy access ot chocolate soy pudding. i'm an infant.

e my hotel room in berlin has a nice terrace overlooking the east and the west. although now it's harder to tell east from west. in 1990 it wasn't so hard to tell east from west. now the east is actually newer. which is odd.

f did i mention chocolate soy pudding? oh, i guess i did.

g i think all the blips are up. now. or soon. hopefully with an e-z link from moby.com.

h i think that's it for now.

i it goes without saying that i, along with everyone else on the planet, am watching with rapt attention as events unfold in iran. it's sad and ironic that the guardians of the revolution are squashing free-speech and peaceful democratic revolution.

j ok, that's it for now.

it's hard to say much in 100 characters, but i try.

ok, i don't actually try that hard. like yesterday i wrote about giant strawberries and mud somewhere in a field in germany (i don't actually know where i was, but frank black and kraftwerk were there, so i knew it was ok).

i'll stop now.
