Moby amazed he has fans

The ‘Go’ hitmaker Moby is always astonished that people turn up to his concerts and can’t believe he still gets booked to perform.

He said: “There have been periods of great success and periods of abject failure. I’ve made lots of different types of music and done lots of strange ancillary things. I marvel that I still get to play shows.

“Some musicians have what is probably a healthy sense of entitlement. When they announce a concert. They expect it to sell out. When I announce a concert, I expect maybe a few people to wander in.”

The musician also admitted he doesn’t understand why people like his best-selling ‘Play’ album, branding it “mediocre”.

He added to Britain’s Independent newspaper: “I’ve put out records in the past that I thought were mediocre at best and they ended up being very successful. I thought ‘Play’ was too eclectic. It was recorded in a bedroom with mediocre equipment. The fact that it became as successful as it did is still baffling. Listening to it now, I realise I don’t really like the first half of the album, only the second half which is the weird experimental part I don’t think anyone has actually listened to.”
