Moby, that supervegan technoelectropopster dj boy, rocked an unscheduled, unannounced, and unrehearsed busking set in London last night.
Not that he had any grand expectations of turning a profit, but for a 40 minute set, all that he walked away with was a paltry £5-6, which hardly fuulfills the basic goal of busking: "to make enough money to buy liquor, and...not the top of the shelf stuff...the vodka drunk by homeless alcoholics". Maybe next time, Mo-bizzle.
Moby made less than he did as a student when he made a surprise busking appearing in Sloane Square last night.The international superstar stunned commuters as he played an impromptu 40-minute set.
Sloane Square, btw, is where a particular type of attractive/annoying sensitive-y rich girl pashmina-scarf wearing girl hangs out. They are called Sloanies. You'd think that, since those type of people are Moby's target audience, he'd make a killing. But no! Our little bald honey bun hardly made anything at all. ""At the most I was given maybe £5 or £6, but that's fine because I was obviously not doing it for the money."

Actually, they're usually just called "Sloanes".

Rich, pashmina (real ones) wearing moody chics are the LEAST likely to give cash/change to buskers... maybe he was 'just looking' for more moody inspiration.
