Blog-achella 08: Fatboy Slim is fucking in Indio
I'm sorry, but if you hate on this guy, you're just a wanker...
Fatboy Slim
Who he is: An old, old man who's probably on his last 20 or so brain cells.
What he sounds like: You know, it seems like there's been a bit of a Fatboy Slim backlash, that people don't think he's as relevant as he used to be and that type of hogwash... but hey, Norman is no Moby. Norman doesn't have a gay little overpriced tea shop or hang out at the flash parties or make political statements when nobody gives a shit what he thinks... nope, Norman just does his thing... gets fucking lit, makes big hits (and far better ones at that) and moves asses, like he's done for over a decade. And I'm gonna take you back that far, to what I think may be his best track ever, a track with the most brain-melting breakdown/build-up ever put to wax...
What I think: Shit, I just got my vicarious roll on listening to that! The thing about a Fatboy Slim set is that he's having so much fun up there, ripped to the tits, that you can't help but join him. If you've never seen him spin, do NOT miss it. What, you gonna go watch Jack Johnson instead? That would be like passing up free Superbowl tickets to attend a hacky-sack match on your cousin's lawn and grill meat weiners (your stupid cousin was too stoned to remember to buy beef franks) on a rusty hibachi. But hey, if that's what yer into...
