Not that we're the sort of site that likes to dwell on crap like this... (oh, who are we kidding, sure we do.) But it's official today through a spokesperson: FATBOY SLIM and wife/radio presenter ZOE BALL have separated. Oddly enough, ol' Normy's quoted in this week's NME that he's planning to take time off from DJ gigs to spend more time with his family...

In a recent interview with the Edmonton Sun Norman Cook (aka FATBOY SLIM) has readily admitted to recently turning down a remix project by Britney Spears. Editorial comment: Cheers!

Also to be released on Astralwerks on November 19 are 3 new EPs: Pimp, Illuminati, and Camber Sands. No word yet of a supporting tour.

Dotmusic has the story about Fatboy Slim's new live CD. The details are slim but it was recorded at last summer's Brighton Beach gig and will be released on January 28. I've been living on bootlegs for so long, it's great to finally have an official DJ set.
