Podcasts about Then It Fell Apart

If you're a long-time listener, you know that we do not have many celebrities as guests on Follow Your Different. We take a pass on most of them because frankly, they're not that interesting. However, Moby is not your typical celebrity or Hollywood type. Moby is a breakout musician, DJ, and songwriter. He's sold over 20 million records worldwide, and he is credited with helping to bring electronic dance music to a mainstream global audience. He is also an animal advocate and a deeply-committed vegan, and he's got a brand-new cookbook out. It's called Little Pine Cookbook, which is based on the recipes of Little Pine, a restaurant that he had founded. What you're about to hear is a real dialogue like none other: from Moby's tough start in life, to making and breaking it and having it all fall apart, then building yourself back again. You'll also hear stories on Moby meeting his heroes, including what it was like to hang out with none other than David Bowie. Moby on Meeting Your Heroes To Moby, making the cover for David Bowie's ‘Heroes' has a personal context. He shares that when he was around 12, he had bought two David Bowie albums. Since then, David Bowie became his favorite musician of all time. Then in the late 90's, they became friends. Then neighbors. They even went on tours together, worked on music together, and enjoyed each other's company. “We had this one amazing day where he was in my apartment in New York. We played an acoustic version of heroes together. It was such a magical moment that the version of Heroes on Reprise is sort of a tribute to the song; a tribute to the fact that I was friends with my favorite musician of all time, and a tribute to this moment of playing Heroes with the greatest musician of all time.” - Moby That said, there is a saying that goes, “you should never meet your heroes, because they are sure to disappoint you.” Moby acknowledges that there are times that it is true. Though in David Bowie's case, it only made him appreciate the person and his music more after meeting him. Moby on Being a Public Figure It's not unusual to look up to icons and dream of one day becoming one. Being famous or a public figure is a dream that a lot of people have. Though according to Moby, being a public figure can be more stressful than it's worth. It might sound pretentious or narcissistic coming from a place of having achieved it already, but it is something Moby wishes to share through his book, ‘Then It Fell Apart'. His documentary, Moby Doc, also shines a bit of light into this: “The idea is that the human condition is one of confusion. You know, as long as we're human, we're baffled. So It seems like we all gravitate towards things that give us a sense of meaning, structure, and status. And so the book ‘Then It Fell Apart' and ‘Moby Doc' is sort of looking at that. Like how I had my own individual experience of bafflement, and how I tried to find anything that would give me that sense of meaning, purpose, status, comfort, what have you.” - Moby Living the Rockstar Life When asked whether he thinks that he's “living the rockstar life”, Moby thinks that he has lived a life so far that has given him a unique perspective. As someone who has been to the extreme ends of both poverty, wealth, and varying degrees of fame, it has given him an insight that is undenyingly his own. Yet while the specific details are unique to him alone, the general circumstance is not. That is why Moby felt that he had to share his story. Not so much as to show everyone what he has achieved in his life so far, but as a reference for those who are aspiring for such a lifestyle, or those who might be in a similar situation.

Bio Richard Melville Hall, known professionally as Moby, is an American musician, songwriter, singer, producer, and animal rights activist.

Author Fred Tuten joins co-hosts Medaya Ocher, Kate Wolf and Eric Newman to talk about his new book, My Young Life: A Memoir. The conversation begins with Fred explaining why after five celebrated novels, he chose to write a memoir; what follows is a series of beautiful reflections on his life. Indeed!

Musician and producer Moby is also a major philanthropist: he donates all the proceeds from his Los Angeles restaurant Little Pine to animal rights organizations, as well as all the money he makes from his albums and his latest memoir, "Then It Fell Apart." He's been a vegan for more than three decades and tells host Rachel Belle he can whip up healthy, filling, vegan meals for under a dollar. Which we imagine is a useful skill when you're giving all your money away! Moby's last meal is...oh-so Moby. He celebrates the fruit that we ate by the slice after every childhood soccer practice, the fruit that shares its name with a color, the fruit that rhymes with approximately zero other words. So we welcome Mike Osborn to the show, owner of Sosio's Produce, located right smack dab in the middle of beautiful, historic Pike Place Market. Mike has been wheelin' and dealin' oranges for nearly 30 years. He's got the sass of a sailor, the palate of a chef, and he wants to teach you how to pick out perfect, in-season produce so you don't take one bite of a mealy apple and throw it away.  Follow Your Last Meal on Instagram & make sure and subscribe so you never miss an episode!

Moby had already put out four studio albums when Play was released in 1999. He was solidly into his 30s, playing gigs in record stores and thinking about a career-change. But Play, against all expectations, started selling. Then it started selling out. There was champagne, then vodka, then cocaine. He swung between drug-induced euphoria and thoughts of suicide. The stories of stardom he tells Alec are both funny and troubling. But Moby saw his way out of the spiral. Now a decade without drugs or alcohol, he's remarkably open about his darkness, and the weird hippie childhood that laid the groundwork for it. He and Alec sat down last month and swapped stories of sobriety and celebrity. Moby's new memoir is Then It Fell Apart.

The second volume of Moby's memoirs, ***Then It Fell Apart***, begins with the musician and animal rights activist charting the unexpected and phenomenal success of his 1999 album, Play. We go on to witness his rapid addiction to the rush of overnight mega-stardom, and the hedonistic lifestyle that comes along with it. A classic tale of sex, drugs, more sex, more drugs, and some rock 'n' roll, his story is interwoven with snapshots of a lonely, unstable childhood and adolescence, providing context for his desperate need for love and validation. The result is a no-holes-barred portrait of an epic rock bottom, which also illustrates in lurid detail the ways our past will catch up with our present, no matter how hard and fast we try to escape it. As well as Moby's subsequent sobriety and spiritual awakening, in this episode we also discuss: -Addiction as a response to the human condition -Sobriety as a bi-product of the raising of consciousness -Figuring out how to be human in a sustainable way -The value of evidence-based thinking when it comes to getting sober -Our collective addictions to meat and to money -The balm of seeking divinity in the day-to-day ***100% of the proceeds from Moby's twin memoirs, Porcelain and ***Then It Fell Apart***, will be donated to animal rights organizations.

Moby (@thelittleidiot) is a musician, singer, songwriter, producer, animal rights activist, and author of Then It Fell Apart. What We Discuss with Moby: How Moby's illustrious heritage made it imperative for him to write his own memoirs instead of passing the job off to a ghostwriter. Why, in his early fifties, Moby has not one but two memoirs under his belt. What it was like to grow up as a latchkey kid, impoverished and on food stamps, in the wealthiest city in the United States. Why Moby "was so happy" during the time he lived in an abandoned factory on the crack-infested side of Stamford, Connecticut. How Moby felt at the realization that he was making more for an hour-long performance than his New York City executive grandfather had made in a year. And much more...

The Album: Joy Division Closer (1980) Moby has been in the game for over three decades, making punk, electronic, alt-rock, dance, and everything in between. When we heard he was coming on Heat Rocks, we had no idea what album he'd pick, but we knew it was going to be some absolute fire. Joy Division were pioneers, blending genres and helping create and popularize the sound that would become post-punk. Unfortunately, Closer would be Joy Division's final album. On May 18th 1980, just weeks before Joy Division's first tour in America, lead singer Ian Curtis took his own life. Factory Records released the album a few months later, and the remaining members would go on to form New Order. We sat down with Moby to talk about post-punk, the wildly varied music scene on the East coast in the 80s, and the shift from Joy Division to New Order. We chat about Ian's deteriorating mental wellness and Moby's own experiences playing with New Order and covering Joy Division songs. Grab a chair, this conversation goes deep. Moby's new book, "Then It Fell Apart" is out now. Cop it at your local bookstore.
