Fat boy slim - Crap/Not crap?

[dynamicbaddog]

not crap - liked his beach party in Brighton (even though the second one was a bit of diaster)

 

[Maggot]

Fatboy slim is excellent, I think a lot of people are prejudiced against him because he's so successful.

Every time I play Ya Mama at a party, Magneze says 'this is really good, who is it is?' One day he'll remember.

i think it's well overdue, here.

I happen to quite like it all the same Mr Rolleyes

<folds arms and sits tight>

 

[Idaho]

He's the Jive Bunny of the 21st century.


Although I must admit liking 'Bird of Prey'

seconded!

 

[milesy]

Agreed. The reception Beats Intl got at the Kiss launch all those years ago said volumes as to what Londoners and dance fans thought of Layton, Cook and that funny rapper fellow - the only group booed off in a hail of bottles for the whole day.

TBH, our Norm's just a musical survivor. A good party DJ, who you can't really blame for all the hype surrounding him.

Good on him for having a good time behind the decks, but he's one lazy producer by numbers. Gives the people what they want, but it's a little boring and unsubtle after a while. He's a ubiquitous consumer favourite with consistent delivery; like MacDonalds, the Ford Mondeo and Walls' sausages.

And at least he's not Armand Van Helden...

That is a tune!

The SOS band one - the other one is shit.

 

[Orang Utan]

he is a brilliant dj, if a touch cheesy... on the floor at the big beat boutique still sounds ace.

No it isn't

thats me off orang's xmas card list again (twice in 2 days!)

Correctomundo!

Fatboy Slim: Purveyor Of Dance Music For Blokes In Suits To Dance To At Weddings

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

I'm pretty much completely indifferent to him. Seems like a nice enough bloke, makes the sort of record that I enjoy if someone's making me listen to Radio 1, as relief from the other stuff, but wouldn't dream of listening to at home surrounded by CDs that I actually like.

So who else spotted Orang Utan in his suit at the last Offline?

Fatboy Slim: Purveyor Of Dance Music For Blokes In Suits To Dance To At Weddings

 

[SwizzleStiX]

Picked this one up in a charity shop for 99p, and think its great i didn't even realise that he'd created half of the tunes - i thought they were originally by someone else..

 

[killer b]

they were all originally by someone else. the bits you hum, anyway...

 

[Orang Utan]

It's a shame no-one played Fatboy - I would have made like Walken!

 

[Orang Utan]

My cousin went out with him when he was called Quentin and lived in Surrey

 

[Kaka Tim]

Not crap.

but not great either.

A finely honed pop sensibility - as demonstrated with his multiple sucess in multiple guises (fat boy, freak power, dub be good - dunno if he wrote stuff for the housemartins so maybe them an all )

His fatboy stuff = Very much a one trick pony - but it was a pretty good trick for a while.

Definitely dance music for people who dont like dance music.

 

[hiccup]

I like Fatboy Slim and I'm not ashamed to say it. The man can programme an excellent beat.

Blokes in suits at weddings? Don't most blokes wear suits at weddings, regardless of their musical taste?

 

[sam/phallocrat]

Magic Carpet Ride, Everybody Needs a Filter and Fatboy Slim is Fucking in Heaven are grrrrreat.

Dunn bout the rest of his output mind, s'all a bit formulaic. And his last 2 albums are utter gash.

God that comment pisses me off. Nasty, nasty snobbery.

Yes I know - I didn't give myself enough time to think of anything witty and incisive

 

[milesy]

that's because you're rubbish.

How about "drunk accountants at office Christmas parties" or some other such cliché?
