“I love making music, but I don’t think of it as a job anymore.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>Electronic dance musician Moby<\/a> joins the show to talk about what he learned from writing his memoirs<\/a>\"\" and what he learned from reading bad ones. We get into the toughest\/most embarrassing story he had to tell, the banality of turning 50, the benefits of public failure, the pros and cons of the infinite jukebox, his take on contemporary pop music, his decision to sell off most of his recording equipment and his records, the two things he would save if he had a house fire, his favorite Star Trek<\/em> captain, and a lot more! Give it a listen!<\/a> And go buy Porcelain: A Memoir<\/a>\"\" and Moby’s new record, Everything Was Beautiful, and Nothing Hurt<\/a>\"\"!<\/p>\n

“My assumptions have always been that things are not great and there’s nothing to indicate they’re going to get better. So even when things are good, I still assume that it’s a fluke or a delusion on my part.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
