Today's Music-Related Tidbits: Moby Spins, Feist Sells
By Gari Pini
Back in the day, one could find Moby DJ-ing in downtown clubs like the Big Haus and he always played a little reggae, a little punk and a little whatever. On October 11, the man will be back behind the turntables DJ-ing and hosting a new club night called "Degenerates" at the Hiro Ballroom. Also spinning: Stretch Armstrong. Meanwhile, around the corner on 17th Street, the other half of the building with porthole windows that isn't already a hotel (Maritime) is going to become one. Hampshire Hotels just bought 346 West 17th for $70 million. Unrelated but cool: Thanks to iPod and no thanks to radio, Feist's album The Reminder sold 28,000 copies last week and moves from #36 to #28 in the Billboard charts.
