Moving the ball and scoring almost at will, the Bucs broke out of an offensive funk with a team-record 246 yards rushing yesterday and beat the NFC's unbeaten team 27-24 on Mike Alstott's 6-yard touchdown run with...
...encore was almost better than the main act, giving the audience both "La Grippe," a bizarre fusion between blues, jazz and funk about the influenza pandemic of 1918 and an extremely extended rendition of "I've Found a New Baby," a 1919 song in which every band member was given a chance to perform a solo. Drummer Chris Phillips juggled his sticks and then oranges handed to him by the band, all the while continuing to play; bassist Stu Cole played between his legs as Mathus and Whalen handed out the beads they'd been wearing to the audience...
...bodies and exciting beats stands the world's most sought after DJ and most versatile party-guy, the forerunner of the Big Beat Movement, and the master of the remix: Fatboy Slim, a.k.a.

On his new album, You've Come a Long Way, Baby, Fatboy Slim combines funk, soul, slamming techno and jazzy bits with ingenious samples and a vibrant sense of humor into a single, irresistible album.

"The Rockafeller Skank" was released as a single in March, and served as the catalyst of the artist's recent mainstream popularity. The addictive Lord Finesse vocal sample and the twangy surf guitar augment...
Incredibly, Fatboy seems to always have another trick up his DJ sleeve. Although the album is best suited for dance clubs, it certainly can be appreciated for its artistic elements. The best example is the track "In Heaven." The track has its roots in remixed funk and soul, rather than techno. This is why it is so difficult to restrict Fatboy Slim to a certain category or musical genre. Instead, he utilizes every genre in the strangest and most appealing combinations. In "Gangster Tripping," he blends a hip-hop beat and vocals with a big band brass arrangement...
