I read an article where the interviewer asked how he felt about doing
publicity and he assumed that when he was going to become a musician that he
was going to have to do press.
Now this fact alone is probably the reason the press has "chosen" moby as a
spokesperson for electronic culture. Because he's one of the few electronic
artists who doesn't tell interviewers to fuck off the first chance he gets.
I think the reason he's an electronic culture spokesperson is because he
makes himself easily accessable. You could say that he's pimping himself to
the media, but whatever. Aphex Twin basically prides himself on fucking
mainstream media at every turn. I wonder why magazines wouldn't want to
continually try and interview someone who shows no interest in keeping
appointments. Most mainstream music media is a business, and Rolling Stone
probably couldn't give 2 shits about how good something that's popular is.
However they do care about getting interviews with whoever is popular so
they can sell magazines.
Remember, it doesn't matter how good the music is, when it comes to
popularity it's who can sell.
