Moby With Wayne Coyne – ‘The Perfect Life’ [video]

It’s been a while since we’ve seen something from Mobi, let alone something so flamboyant. The video was shot in L.A with Coyne (of The Flaming Lips) and Moby dressed up as a Mexican mariachi band, and it promises to become a classic anthem with a spicy mix of electronic and soul. There’s already been a few fine remixes from the song, and first up on those list are the Fuck Buttons, which you can…
