Moby is the best we can do?

why all this moby hate?

he did that really weak MOB cover, and in his own mind sang for Flipper for a spell in the 80's.  He's legit!

No questioning whether or not Moby is legit, but I do recall reading that his claim of being apart of Flipper is a bit tenuous...   However, the claim of no longer being relevant can certainly be made, now that he used his brand name to become just another celebrity DJ.  For the amount of money he probably makes one would think he could show up with more barely adequate DJing skills and "James Brown Is Dead" burnt on to a CDR.   It's more important for him to jump around posing then being a DJ.   

Of course what I think is moot, seeing as the people there to seeing were having a great time....

This more has to do with the fact that with all of the leading musical acts whose egos would bring them DC bound, all we've gotten so far is Moby and Jay-Z.   I suppose the predicted madness maybe keeping some away....

What about Springsteen and Andrew Bird?

Actually, $35 is not much more than a cover charge at a club (not in DC, but other cities).  While not my cup of tea, I thinik it's a perfectly reasonable price for an entire night of dancing and hanging out.
