Moby: musician, pastafarian at Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

I was at the opening for Moby’s new cd at Virgin Records at Union Square.

I have been listening to his music since I was 12 (year 2000-Play)

Not only does he create awesome music, he is also nice, smart, and extremely hilarious, AND he was wearing a Flying Spaghetti Monster Shirt! How could it get any better??

I asked if it was ok if maybe you’d like to post this photo of him wearing it and he said sure! So here you go! Two Moby photos!

He says it is awesome when people recognize FSM on his shirts.

You get the photos, but the autographs are mine (:

Awesome. I like Moby, and I’m very happy to hear that he’s Spreading the Word. And not only by wearing the shirt … The Miami New Times has included in its report of the Miami Winter Music Carnival the following:

Best Moby sighting: Around 4:30 a.m. Saturday night/Sunday morning on the Studio A dance floor, approaching the afterhours portion of the Fixed WMC Freakout party, there he was. We’ve learned Moby loves dancing among the general masses, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and hipster chicks of all flavors.

The Church of the FSM thanks you for your support, Moby!

Purchase the Gospel

An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American

Totally awesome! I love Moby’s work, so I was planning ot get his new CD anyway, but now I really have to get it!

I love you Moby, even though you are not very good looking.
6 Kelly Apr 9th, 2008 at 4:02 pm

I agree. He seems like the kind of musician with some common sense up there.
Maybe it’s the same for his music.

Thats pretty sweet man, celebrity endorsements, like tom Cruise to scientology Moby may be our jesus. Sweet

@PacificPam: Why qualify your love for Moby by criticizing his looks? WWFSMD?

Maybe Moby can do an endorsement video like Mr. Cruise did for his “church.”

i knew it ..i knew it.. i knew it…
there was a divine connection…..

i think moby is cute…kind of old for me though….yeah.

hmm. old? not good looking? a deeper study of your faith my dears will teach that we do not tell others they are old, or not good looking, even if they are famous and you are speaking anonymously. for you too shall be old, you may become famous, and you may not be good looking to just everyone. had you considered that moby has feelings, that he is not an icon or a comic book character, but indeed a sensitive living creature? the noodly one will surely forgive and bless you, as he blesses moby, and me, and everyone else. ramen.

13 sarah Apr 12th, 2008 at 6:52 am

amorphousblob…i’m 19. i think i am allowed to consider him a bit too old to date.

just what we need famous people to spread the word

Well, I always liked his music, now we have a great artist spreading the word, I hope he gets together with David Bowie to record an album for the FSM.

Nice if he’s onboard, no pun intended, I remember seeing him on Buzzcocks, he seemed a nice guy, plus he’s veggy.
17 ME DUH Apr 15th, 2008 at 6:29 pm

OH YEAH!!!!!! WE REALLY NEED CELEBS!!! ASK HIM TO GET THE WORD OUTTTTTT!!! I know that he’s wearing the shirt but I’m sure most people don’t know what it means and don’t care much. Yeah, maybe he could do a song about us!!! or a commercial thingy!!
PPL (peace love & pirates!!)

@SeanBoyd: Because I am very vain…and, since I don’t know him and cannot say that he is smart or not I just go by the looks =)
19 Chinius P Spiderbeak Apr 17th, 2008 at 5:58 am

Hey Bob, good to hear you have Moby on board the pirate ship, he’s a musician that speaks a lot of sense , more than rappers goin on about bitches and bling. Anyway, sorry to be pedantic but I dont see how you were 12 in 2000, as Im sure I read you were born around the same time as me (1979) and I bought play in 2000 when I was 20

Or is this a deliberate demonstration of how the FSM adjust numbers, calculations ,dates etc with his noodly appendage??
20 hexhunter Apr 18th, 2008 at 6:13 am

“he’s a musician that speaks a lot of sense , more than rappers goin on about bitches and bling.”

Yeah, now we know his lyrics are about Wenches and Loot…
