The annual UC Riverside HEAT concert went on yesterday night. Now, I'm not too keen for the concerts held here because a lot of bands playing are of the rap or R&B variety, and I just don't enjoy that type of music. This year's concert was very kind to me, though. This year, Moby came to UC Riverside and he ROCKED...THE...HOUSE.

Moby is a DJ who specializes in techno,  house, and electronica music (don't ask me the difference between the three, I can hardly tell). Seeing him live in-concert is like talking tech with Bill Gates or Linus Torvalds, cooking alongside Emeril Lagasse, or doing some reps alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger. I had an entire hour and a half to rave it up to some of the best DJ'ing I'd heard in a while, and I took advantage of it.

Surprisingly, I heard none of the material I'd heard before; it was refreshing to see that he didn't fall back on the songs he's famous for and can keep his mixes interesting and unpredictable. And to think I wanted to stay home!

BTW, Richard Melville Hall was nicknamed Moby shortly after birth in honor of his great-great-great-great uncle Herman Melville (author of Moby Dick). Don't believe me? [CITATION SUPPLIED]
