Musician, vegan, and LES tea shop proprietor Moby wants to make a porno for the less endowed men out there, and the women or men who love them. Reportedly he is fed up with X-rated films featuring men with members bigger than his, telling Bizarre magazine, "Surely that's intimidating to most guys watching? My porn flick would exclusively feature men with normal-to-titchy-sized penises in order to make viewers feel better." Like, a parsnip instead of a daikon, to put it in vegan terms. more ›

So, Moby just happened to Google Alert himself run across this music blog that wrote a (video) post asking him to play their anniversary party since their headliner had canceled (headlining was The Teeth, who broke up...and broke stuff at our CMJ show last year). The video message, which offered $1,000 to play the show, also went out to Win Butler, Kate Nash and Ben Gibbard. Moby responded "yes" (aww). And Hoboken ladies: he's ready for an after-party:

so, as i spend way too much time on the aforementioned internet and i have free time on april 10th and i love to play if there's an audience and/or beer involved, saw his request and i emailed him and said, 'i'd be happy to play at your party'. then he wrote back and, to paraphrase, said, 'great'. so i'm playing at his party. more ›
