I think I should have been born in the 80's
because then I would remember all these songs when they came out - instead of hearing them and realising I love them 10 - 15 years after they came out.

I found another band today. Fatboy Slim. And apparently he's been behind loads of other bands too. *happies* I love discovering new stuff :D

if you laugh at me - I will get you back one day

I think I've got
one of his CDs around here somewhere.

He's not a band
and it was the 90s, not the 80s.

NORMAN COOK
no less. Did a stint in alcohol recovery recently, bless his drug-addled socks. Married and divorced Zoe Ball... one of my teenage cock-stiffeners.

I love his stuff though. If you like that, check out Chemical Brothers and The Wiseguys.

Unless of course
You include his body of work with The Housemartins. Which was different.

Caravan of Love
is one of my all time favourite songs to sing when I'm drunk in the vicinity of my parents occasionally on a Sunday.

well I meant
born in the 80's so I would remember the 90's.
All I remember of the 90's was that song with the little alien that sang "I'm blue dabba di dabba di" or whatever it was.

:D
EDIT: my favourite song was one I found on my iPod - "Praise You". Love it :D

Praise you isn't among his better pieces imo
check out the video to Weapon of Choice.

That's because Hey Arnold is the best show ever

I've DJed with him
He's a lovely, enthusiastic man who gave my DJ partner a copy of his remix of Eric B & Rakim's I Know You Got Soul because he said he was after it.

His wife's a twat.

The End.

Something strange about people referring to Fatboy Slims songs as "a piece".......

Anyway, if you like the Fatboy then I'd imagine you'll like that record-breaking sellout Moby, particularly the album Play. I think every song was purchased for use in adverts so you'll probably recognise them all!

While you're there get "Dig Your Own Hole" by the Chemical Brothers (good shout whoever said them) and "Surrender" was always a favourite of mine..

Also check out Depeche Mode and New Order...

@ Vipros
His name is actually Quentin, not Norman!

Has made good stuff under all his aliases, although he's gone a bit shit in recent years. Check out 'Everybody Needs a 303'
(username1, Tue 17 Mar 2009, 9:17, Reply)

Fair enough
looks like you are right

however:

Fair enough, change your name from Quentin, but why the buggery fuck would you choose Norman?
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 17 Mar 2009, 9:32, Reply)

Fuck off
I'm a Norman. Didn't choose it though. I always wanted to be a George.
(porkylips looks better as the sun goes down., Tue 17 Mar 2009, 10:32, Reply)

And from there
You might feel like trying:

Prodigy
Faithless
Kosheen
Orbital
Massive Attack
Crystal Method.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 17 Mar 2009, 9:54, Reply)

also try
any of the Global Underground CDs - Sasha, Tony De Vit, Deep Dish, Nick Warren etc - some pretty decent stuff there as well.

I remember Zoe's Dad! Not so much of a cock stiffener, but entertained me through many a schoolday evening, when the air was fresher, the nights warmer and it NEVER RAINED. Ever.
(MrOli is ugly, but in the morning you will be sober, Tue 17 Mar 2009, 11:10, Reply)

Yes I do (sometimes)
It's all this hanging about students trying to teach them stuff.

(And shagging a 22 yo - that makes me feel VERY old sometimes. Old, but happy.)

When I were a lad, it snowed at Christmas, was sunny all summer and five pence pieces were still massive. I also remember Johnny Ball but I can't remember from which show, possibly "How To" now I think about it.


Music suggestions in the main thread: I must say I approve of all the suggestions so far. :)
(Shippy likes linebreaks and doesn't care what you think, Tue 17 Mar 2009, 12:32, Reply)

And then if you get any Orbital or Massive attack
you're bound to fancy a crack at The Orb, The Future Sound of London and Unkle :-)
(MrOli is ugly, but in the morning you will be sober, Tue 17 Mar 2009, 11:20, Reply)

If you liked that, then you should try this:
Massive Attack
Underworld
Chemical Brothers
The Orb
Orbital
Leftfield
Unkle
Aphex Twin
Groove Armada
Tricky
Trans Am

Newer stuff:
Ron Jenkees (Internet Legend)
Locust Toybox (Adam Firth)

Slightly off topic:
The Avalances
Apollo 440
Bentley Rhythm Ace
Daft Punk
Moloko
Some of the Prodigy's stuff


Hell - come round to mine and we can rub iPods together.

Just laughing at how we've gone all the way from Fatboy Slim to Aphex Twin in just a few posts. That could really scare the boy.

I'll see your Aphex and raise you a Plaid.

Just got Squarepusher's new album. V smooth. And da housecat. Nice.

Been going through Amazon's "People who bought X also enjoyed Y" a lot and found Cujo. If you like Bentley, you'll be wanting some o that.

I'll see your Boards, No3L and raise you Flashbulb's back catalogue :-D

where it is at is clearly some early 90s stuff like Snap and the KLF

to throw a little bit of 'New Order' in with that
