Norman Cook Seeks Less Dated Moniker Than “Fatboy Slim”
Wed May 14 2008 by anthonyjmiccio
After his upcoming album (you know, the one with Iggy Pop on it) comes out, Fatboy Slim will no longer be Fatboy Slim.

It’s possible that the Stooges’ less than transcendent arrangement of “Ray Of Light” inspired him to get a slighty (slightly) less outdated groove on. Or maybe he hope to score another “Aisha.”
