Subject: Fatboy Slim to retire
Written By: Philip Eno on 05/17/08 at 4:30 pm
Norman Cook says he has laid out plans to retire the name Fatboy Slim and will soon DJ under a new identity.
After 12 years and four studio albums, Norman says it's time for Fatboy to be put to rest.
He tells The Sun: "Yes, I am ditching the Fatboy Slim name, but I can't tell you the new one.
"I'm going to take the Fifth Amendment on that question and not say because I'll get myself into trouble."
Although Cook remains quiet about the new moniker, news reports suggest he's the man behind Brighton Port Authority, who had a tune released recently on the soundtrack for fantasy TV show, Heroes.
The track, entitled He's Frank, featured Iggy Pop on vocals and it is rumoured that the BPA album will also feature collaborations with Martha Wainwright and Talking Heads legend David Byrne.

Doesn't surprise me at all. He went from Beats International to Pizzaman to Mighty Dub Kats to Fatboy Slim
Maybe he should join the now defunct Beautiful South and reform the Housemartins?
His first single after leaving The Housemartins was 'Blame it on The Bassline' as Norman Cook featuring MC Wildski. It later got reworked onto the debut album by Beats International

I'd love to see a Housemartins reunion. I've gotta check out this new tune with Iggy!

Thank goodness he's retiring the name only. Mr. Cook is an awesome music man.

He sure is. I loved his remix of Cornershop's 'Brimful of Asha'.
