About this listen

What do you do when you realise you have everything you think you've ever wanted but still feel completely empty? What do you do when it all starts to fall apart? The second volume of Moby's extraordinary life story is a journey into the dark heart of fame and the demons that lurk just beneath the bling and bluster of the celebrity lifestyle.

In summer 1999, Moby released the album that defined the millennium, PLAY. Like generation-defining albums before it, PLAY was ubiquitous, and catapulted Moby to superstardom. Suddenly he was hanging out with David Bowie and Lou Reed, Christina Ricci and Madonna, taking esctasy for breakfast (most days), drinking litres of vodka (every day), and sleeping with super models (infrequently). It was a diet that couldn't last. And then it fell apart.

The second volume of Moby's memoir is a classic about the banality of fame. It is shocking, riotously entertaining, extreme, and unforgiving.

like so many successful talented people Moby is driven by feeling inadequate with a self destructive attitude to life. I would like to hear what happened to Moby after this book ended. Hoping he has figured out how to be happy and settled. I am looking forward to book 3. I really enjoyed the narration Moby has a great voice for storytelling.

really enjoyed both autobiographies

You'll probably find a more meaningful outcome if you read part 1 first.
The underlying theme is darker in this copy part 2, after finishing his first memoir I thought Moby was a needy whining nerd that needed to man up but after finishing this I'm more inclined to share an altruistic empathy with circumstances that lead to a self distructive and disturbing outcome.
As an audible title it's worth a listen

Brutality candid

I’ve jumped around at Moby concerts over the years, he jumps around as the writes this book, back and forth, past and performances. It worked though, but was nothing special, the usual rock star rise and crash. He's not the best narrator, but for me, at about chapter 44 it went up a gear, the anecdotes more surreal and entertaining, always brutally honest too, I really appreciated that. I kept thinking when will he hit rock bottom, it happens in most every rock star autobiography. Then half way through mowing the lawn, with no idea of now much of the book there was to go it ended – Bam, powerful and f**k. I couldn’t start another book for days, I was blown away by the ending. More powerful than standing on ya keyboard in front of a wall of sound. Nice one Moby, I'll probable give it another listen, do you have one with an alternative ending?

Part 2 of Moby's autobiography continues on from where Porcelain ends in 1999 and take us up to 2008.

He tells you at the start the format of this book is different in that he uses chapters to jump back and forth to two different timelines one being his early childhood onwards, and the other from 1999 onwards. I felt this background helps us to understand issues that Moby has suffered with his whole life. And I am sure a lot of people will connect with him due to this.

I have always loved Moby's music, and I feel privileged that he has allowed us to get to know him even when a lot of it isn't very nice at all. That he is just a flawed human like everyone else.


This book was much more open than the first, and the first was pretty open too. it made me smile at times and cringe at other times. I wish I could be as honest and open with my flaws as Moby has been with his.

To me he seems like a pretty cool guy.

Brilliant book.

Left wanting more....again.
