So lately I've been really digging this guy. I've definitely heard stuff by him and not even realize it, like in commercials and baseball games. And of course, I love the Weapon of Choice video, but besides that I didn't really take more depth into his music.

At lunch on Monday, I heard Right Hear, Right Now (not realizing it was FS) and asked the people at ASB who it was and they said Fatboy Slim. So that night I downloaded some stuff from slsk and I've been hooked since.

Any other fans?

Right Here Right Now is such an amazing dance song, it was overshadowed by the greatness of the Rockafeller Skank. I own every Fatboy Slim album, with the exception of the one with Weapon of Choice and Talkin 'Bout my Baby on it, two other classic songs.

'Palookaville' is a great album, but has no dance influences. It has some really neat trip-hop and funk influences though. Cook can do almost anything if he puts his mind to it.

I've listened to the three ep's that he just released and they are all decent, especially 'Camber Sands.'

I haven't heard much by him, but I definitely dig him. Weapon Of Choice is such a great dancy song, I can't stay still while listening to.

I was in love with Fatboy Slim back in the day; I was devastated when I couldn't see him in concert but I was about 8 years too young :-\

Speaking of Norman Cook (FBS); he was in the Housemartins, a rather exceptional britpop band you should check out.

Who are they similar to within the Britpop scene?

Either way I'd check them out.

They were like a more upbeat Smiths or Aztec Camera; moz could tell you more than I could. When they broke up, two of the members formed the Beautiful South and Norman Cook went off DJing.

Fatboy Slim is pretty phat. My favorite songs will include..

Weapon Of Choice
Rockafeller Skank
Bird Of Prey
Star 69

Most of which are singles


And if you are into Fatboy Slim, I would also recommend Groove Armada. Same kinda feel to them, idf you have already heard of them. If not, check out
