*Featured in The Times' 'Best Books of the Year So Far'* What do
you do when you realise you have everything you think you've ever
wanted but still feel completely empty? What do you do when it all
starts to fall apart? The second volume of Moby's extraordinary
life story is a journey into the dark heart of fame and the demons
that lurk just beneath the bling and bluster of the celebrity
lifestyle. In summer 1999, Moby released the album that defined the
millennium, PLAY. Like generation-defining albums before it, PLAY
was ubiquitous, and catapulted Moby to superstardom. Suddenly he
was hanging out with David Bowie and Lou Reed, Christina Ricci and
Madonna, taking esctasy for breakfast (most days), drinking litres
of vodka (every day), and sleeping with super models
(infrequently). It was a diet that couldn't last. And then it fell
apart. The second volume of Moby's memoir is a classic about the
banality of fame. It is shocking, riotously entertaining, extreme,
and unforgiving. It is unedifying, but you can never tear your eyes
away from the page.

In the three decades since Kool Herc first put the same record
on two side-by-side turntables, DJs have moved out of city parks,
house and block parties, and the darkened booths of nightclubs, and
onto center stage, performing before admiring crowds of thousands.
They have not only given rise to hip-hop and house--DJs have
influenced fashion, film, TV, and more.
With "On the Record, " Scratch DJ Academy, the premiere
institution for DJ education, brings together years of training and
expertise to create an authoritative guide to the dynamic art of
DJing. More than just a "how-to," this is a sonic adventure,
guiding you through forty years of music, creativity, and culture.
From beat matching to body tricks, Grandmaster Flash to Fatboy
Slim, the Bronx to Ibiza, "On the Record" is an all-in-one guide.
So whether you're learning the ropes, considering going pro, or
just want insight into a broader range of music, this book is for
you.
In the late eighties and early nineties, Moby, then an underground
DJ and musician, was scraping out a living in New York City. In a
scene popular chiefly among working-class African-Americans and
Latinos, Moby - a poor, skinny, white Christian, vegan and
teetotaller - looked like he would never make it. By the late
nineties, contemplating the end of his music career, he released
what he assumed would be his swansong, Play, which went on to
become a multi-million-selling album, opening up an astonishing new
phase in his life. Porcelain is an unfailingly honest, funny and
brilliantly written memoir about making it, losing it, loving it,
hating it and everything in between.
So now it's the turn of the new breed to turn their hand to Moby's
own music. Released on 3rd November 2008, the cream of the current
electronic crop have all been enlisted to remix tracks from 'Last
Night', which is surely the most disco Moby album this decade.
Indeed, rather than the tech/house style re-rubs of previous
records, the new mixes all share an uplifting electro-disco sound
that has seen a shift from 'Hotel' back to the discotheque.
With a voice that Pitchfork has called "as scratchy as a three-day
beard yet as supple and pliable as moccasin leather," former
Screaming Trees and Queens of the Stone Age vocalist Mark Lanegan
draws frequent comparisons to wounded masters of doom like Tom
Waits, Nick Cave, and Leonard Cohen. But Lanegan's talents aren't
limited to his vocal skills. His lyrics are on par with the best of
them, exploring with Blakeian insight the stark and scorched
emotional terrain that exists somewhere beyond sadness, addiction,
trauma, and spiritual longing. Now, for the first time ever, the
reclusive singer presents a comprehensive look at his lyrics, the
stories behind them, and the making of his albums as well as
photos, insights, and ephemera from a long career in rock 'n' roll,
I Am the Wolf gives fans a rare and candid glimpse into the inner
workings of a living-and singular-rock legend.
