Please, Sit Back and Allow Moby to Explain All About L.A.'s Architecture

Did you know Moby is an architecture blogger now?

Did you know Moby is an architectural blogger now? I didn't. I mean, look at his wiki: producer of electronica and trance, photographer, DJ, vegan, teetotaler, former Dungeons & Dragons player, lover of Christ – but unless I'm missing something, nothing about architecture.

So somebody needs to update that page, because Richard Melville Hall is all over the face of architecture. At his blog devoted to "strange and beautiful architecture in Los Angeles," the artist writes about visiting the famed home of John Lautner’s Sheats-Goldstein residence, his love of 20th-century architect Eero Saarinen, the provocative allure of strip-club marquees and, oddly, the "empty room that has absolutely no purpose" inside his own house. So the guy knows a little of what he's talking about in this here interview, set to the music of his song "Sweet Dreams."
