Its a freak show extravaganza when two of the oddest men in music pair up. Wonder if Wayne smeared Mobys head with blood prior to the collaboration.
Moby, my vegan brother, is a pompous ass. With his turtle like face he preaches to his own benefit and babbles endlessly in monotone droll. That being said he cranked out a couple dandy jams and a junk load of garbage. But for every girl in a thrift shop dress theres a Moby tune to help her through that mocha latte.
Wayne Coyne, head honcho of The Flaming Lips, is another arrogant prick. More in love with himself and his quest to be the oddest human ever. He fails. Its typical rich boy gone wild bullshit where you try to be the artsiest in your artsy world. Hes the guy at the cocktail party who laughs too loud at his own jokes.
Add these creeps together and blammo you have the first single off Moby’s up coming album, ‘The Perfect Life’, which is due out October 21st.
The song is not yet released but is described in the exact words of bullshit you’d expect ‘an electronic soul track’ The video will debut on September 3rd and looks like it fits right in with its creators
‘The Perfect Life’ was shot in L.A with Coyne and Moby dressed up as a Mexican mariachi band. The casting call was posted on Moby’s Facebook and included some very specific extras, “S&M gimp rhythmic gymnast”, “eight roller-skating ghosts”, “12 goth choir members”, “2 obese bearded bikers in red speedos”, “a punk rock brass brand” and “a drunk king: guy with beard age 35-50”.
Moby comments on the impromptu teaser; “A few weeks ago Wayne and I spent the day making a video for ‘The Perfect Life’. then at the end of the day we broke out an acoustic guitar and gathered all of the extras on a rooftop overlooking L.A and sang an unrehearsed, impromptu version of the song. Please keep in mind we had no idea what we were doing.”
Make them go away. Here’s an acoustic teaser to annoy you.
