I'm not too sure what to make of this. Has our little bald vegan/christian/techno god gone to the darkside of strippers and cocaine? Does it really matter? Will his next album be better and more energetic? One can only hope the next one will be better, "18" didn't do much for me. I guess Moby elsewhere is saying this never happened, it seems a bit far fetched to me, but what do I know, stranger things have happened. Read and be entertained or not... Ananova.com says: He said a lapdancer offered to dance for him, but he gave her $400 (about £220) just to talk, the New York Daily News reported. The paper quotes Moby saying, "She gave me a bag of cocaine. I'm 38, but I'd never done coke before. I didn't know you were supposed to share."

Former THE CULT frontman Ian Astbury recently gave an interview to the Poptones web site about his work with THE DOORS 21ST CENTURY and his near-audition with VELVET REVOLVER, among other topics. Several excerpts from the interview follow: Poptones: Oliver Stone asked you to play Jim Morrison in his 1989 epic "The Doors".
