313, There have been a volley of emails recently slating Fat Boy Slim and Moby as being the coporate whores of the dance music 'industry'. Whilst there are more pertinent subjects on the agenda, I would still like to make a distinction between the two. I'd don't for one moment like FBS's music. The fact that it is widely liked, I put down to the general public's low standards. However, it is fairly clear that the man does not take himself too seriously, he has fun doing what he's doing, and he gives people a lot of pleasure. He's been making throwaway pop music for decades and he's good at it. I saw it at first hand on Brighton (England) beach a couple of weeks ago. Moby, on the other hand, makes insipid music of the worst kind, made for TV advertisements. He's takes himself very seriously, is always trying to get in on the latest fad/fashion and is a moody t***. My conclusion is not that we should include FBS in the topics of conversation, rather that we should refrain from slating artists who have no pretensions, are just doing their thing. There are much more important things to promote.
