Just heard the new Fatboy Slim single on XFM. Taken from his new album Palookaville, the single Slash Dot Dash is a short sharp kick to the teeth of a single with lyrics along the lines of 'slash dot dash dot slash dot dash dot slash dot dash dot slash dot dot com', which may either be an homage to /. or just a bunch of words that sound good together. Hard to tell.
Given one listen, I like it, but I suspect it could be a grower. That 'slash dot dash dot' mantra is the sort to get under your skin, even if you can't get your tongue round it. (It was hard enough to type, let along sing.) Can't find an mp3 to link to, so you're gonna have to find it for yourself.

 I've now permanently moved my blog over to http://chocolateandvodka.com/ and will no long be updating this version, other than with the occasional summary of new posts. Please do not leave comments here, but instead find the equivalent post on my new site, and comment there instead. Comments left here will not be published, as I'd like to keep things all together on the new installation. Sorry if this is an inconvenience. |

It may be a homage to Dot Dash by Wire (which is just a fantastic tune using similar lyrics)

I must admit, that sounds a lot more likely. Which is faintly disappointing, really.
