Moby Cracks Wise on iTunes!

Some folks want something for nothing... others don't realize they can even GET something for nothing!

By Blurt Staff

Moby is a funny guy sometimes - and we mean that in the best, funny-ha-ha, way. To wit (pardon the pun): this letter he recently posted to industry observer Bob Lefsetz (of The Lefsetz Letter). In it, he refers to his new album Wait For Me and the best selling tune from it... somehow, a variation on that old PT Barnum saying comes to mind. With regards to the American consumer, even without trying you can make a fool of ‘em ALL of the time! Read on - Moby's letter reprinted verbatim.

How's it going?

The album just came out and it would be #1 euro charts if not for michael jackson re-releases.

So that's good.

But here's something funny: the best selling itunes track is 'shot in the back of the head'.

Why is that funny?

Because its the track we've been giving away for free for the last 2 months and that we're still givng away for free.

Odd.

How are you?

Moby
