	Ink 19 :: Norman Cook
		As Fatboy Slim, Norman Cook is one of today's most successful crossover-artists, with his trademark blending of furious breakbeats with instantly hummable melodies, that have seen club music take over the charts and radio airplay.
		And while Cook is a brilliant songsmith, this release obviously doesn't provide a vehicle for his talents in that respect.
		It's all rather unimaginative, proving that Cook may be a fine songwriter but not necessarily an original wizard or a brilliant musician.

	Big Beach Boutique: Carl Cox to replace Norman Cook?
		In an interview with 'This is Brighton' magazine, Norman Cook has revealed that he will not be doing the Big Beach Boutique again, although he is happy to advise Brighton and Hove City Council, should they wish to stage the event in 2004, and has an suitable heir to the throne in mind.
		Norman Cook gave birth to the event in 2001, his excuse to celebrate the city he loves and thank local people for their support.
		Cook was initially blasted by locals and the press, however, as the criticism subsided and he realised that the majority had had the time of their lives, and wanted him to do it again, he came round the idea and decided to hold a public referendum.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Arts Friday Review \| How the Fatboy grew up
		At the time, Cook was famed both for his charm - the phrase "nicest man in the music industry" followed his name around regularly - and for a peculiar dichotomy in his character, which he dubbed the "shy show-off syndrome".
		The interview ended in pandemonium after Cook suggested everyone take ketamine, a particularly potent and unpredictable hallucinogen: the photographer eventually had to be escorted home, convinced that everyone was "plotting against him".
		Cook's hands shake slightly, but otherwise he seems to have emerged from the previous decade's indulgences unscathed.

		Cook also won the first of several MTV Video Awards in September, for his collaboration with director Spike Jonze on the video for "Praise You".
		The concert was marred by two fatalities, however, and Cook was compelled to call off a planned ticket-only repeat in 2004 because of worries over public safety.
		Cook's success lies in his ability to blend funky breakbeats with the most catchy melodies and riffs, and he has reached a wider audience than many DJs by combining elements of rock and dance music.

	Drowned in Sound - News - Norman Cook says no to the Conservative Party...
		Norman Cook has told the Conservative Party that he doesn't want them to use his 'Happiness' song, as Pizzaman, at their party conference in Bournemouth this week.
		I'm sure Norman could enforce this as it gives the artist the right "to object to uses of a work which would bring dishonor or discredit on his or her reputation".
		If the tories wished to record the norman cook song then he would be able to stop them using it, but the PRS lice allows the venue to play whatever music they like.

		Norman Cook's Fatboy Slim alter ego has become a big-beat legend (if legendary status can be bestowed on such a young genre) and thus a separate entity from Cook's earlier career incarnations.
		Too often, Cook's Fatboy persona (and big beat in general) is derided for a supposedly brainless approach to dance music, but that criticism misses the point.
		If you know Norman Cook only from his "You've Come A Long Way Baby" Fatboy slim, Funksoulbrother days, you might think he was all about gettin' cats up on the dance floor with pouding beats and heavy house- but no way, his range of talent and influences go way beyond that.

		Earlier this year I e-mailed Norman Cook via Skint Records, telling him about the electrofunkroots project and my intention to document the early 80's period more thoroughly.
		More than thirteen years have now passed, and in the meantime Norman has become the best known DJ in the World via his alto-ego, Fatboy Slim, which has brought him a string of hit singles and albums, plus countless remix credits.
		It goes without saying that Norman has a very special talent as an artist / producer / remixer, but what's equally impressive about him has been his ability to retain a level of normality within what must be the eye of a hurricane, given his fame and celebrity.
