Fatboy Blues

Just heard the new FBS track, and I can't say I'm overly impressed. Firstly, the title: Slash Dot Dash Dot Com? Hello? Affecting mild befuddlement at the naming conventions of the internet is like, so 1996. [Meanwhile the construction "X is, like, so, {recent date or time}" is like, so, 1999]. And the song -- apologies if this is my emperor's new clothes moment -- is just a single sample looped over and over on top of some equally repetitive riffs. Perhaps it will grow on me -- it is repeating over and over in my head as I write. But if you want some much better examples of his recent work, check out the amazing remix of "Stand Up" by Ludacris. That really rocks.

Non-sequiteur of the day: batik is a dying art.
