Mailbag: No Beef With Moby, Tongue Slashing
07/11/07
.
(PR) The mail is rolling in! We're ignoring the dozens of whining "your just jealous" emails from Claybots as they will complain about any article that does less than canonize their favorite karaoke singer. But some are right, a lot of people in the press have blown this latest incident way out of proportion. But what else is new? The price of fame. Anyway, Clay Aiken aside, we're sticking with more relevant topics on the minds of our readers. Tim writes us today about our coverage of Moby's rant against the serving of meat at Live Earth. Here is what he had to say: You guys can make fun of Moby all you want but the fact remains that I learned far more about the problems with the environment in the two minutes it took to read his message then I learned during the entire 24 hour Live Earth nonsense. [point well taken, we take back our suggestion about a Live Stock concert unless Moby agrees to rant for at least 15 minutes of each hour. At least that WOULD be educational for the viewers.] Slashette sent us this angry missive about the Velvet Revolver story from yesterday: Velvet Bomb? Almost any band would kill to sell a hundred thousand cds in a week. How is that a bomb? Idiots! I noticed you didn't even bother to review it either.[you are right. Sorry. Congrats to Weiland, Slash and those other guys for selling less than half of what their debut sold and being outsold by the daughter of the guy that gave us "achy breaky heart". As for the review, an oversight on our part as we tried to listen to it telepathically, since the band's publicist didn't send us a copy, but it didn't work. We'll try harder next time or call in Anthony Michael Hall to do it.]
