I believe that teany the cafe might, alas, be no more.
I believe that teany the cafe might, alas, be no more. Yesterday there was a fire (no one was hurt, as far as I know), and teany was destroyed. I need to ask kelly if she's going to re-build it, and as soon as she says 'yay' or 'nay' I'll let you know. I'm really glad no one was hurt, and if anyone has pictures of teany post-fire I'd love to see them (as I'm in germany as I write this, and can't go round to see the damage). Thanks Moby

4/5 Stars "As expected the record features Moby’s classic laidback beats, subtle vocals and choral gusts. ‘Shot In The Back Of The Head’ has been lifted as the first single from the album, and it is apparent why with its shifting keyboard, scratchy riff and grimy underground vibe. There is something grave, merciless and addictive about this track. ‘Study War’ and ‘Mistake’ are reminiscent of ‘Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?’ and will prove popular with the masses, whereas ‘Wait For Me’ is piano-led, mysterious and edgy. This unflinching diversity is key to the record's success." Read more: http://bit.ly/gigwise-review

Moby presents an exibition at The Maurice Einhardt Neu Gallery
Moby’s exhibition of 16 drawings at The Maurice Einhardt Neu Gallery represents, in some way, a new approach and process that has helped him create his most recent work. The artworks loosely relate to the tracks on the forthcoming album “Wait for Me” and are the expression of this new and cathartic approach that Moby has undertaken. The bare, often humorous and melancholic material reveals itself in the simplistic, naive drawings which is a welcome addition to the quiet, occasionally unsettling music of “Wait For Me”.

Richard Melville Hall, a.k.a. Moby, is one of the most important dance music figures of the early '90s, helping bring the music to a mainstream audience both in England and in America.Born in Harlem, New York in 1965, and raised in Darien, CT, he played in a hardcore punk band called the Vatican Commandos as a teenager before moving to New York City, where he began DJing in dance clubs. During the late '80s, he released a number of singles and EPs before, in 1991, he set the theme from David Lynch's television series Twin Peaks to an insistent, house-derived rhythm and titled the result "Go." The single became a surprise British hit single, climbing into the Top Ten, and was named one of Rolling Stone's top 200 records of all time. Moby, his first full-length album, appeared in 1992. Since then, Moby has recorded eleven studio albums, including his multi-platinum breakthrough Play (1999), 18 (2002), Hotel (2005), Go: The Very Best of Moby (2006) and Last Night (2008).In addition to his musical endeavors, Moby is the proprietor of teany cafe and teas. He is also a well-known advocate for a variety of progressive causes, working with MoveOn.org and PETA, among others. He actively engages in nonpartisan activism.
