...band kicked off by checking the lyrics from Fatboy Slim's "The Rockafeller Skank," before launching into "Lost in Space," their theme song from the 1999 movie of the same title. It wasn't the most auspicious of choices for an opener: just as that movie disappeared without receiving much of an audience, the manic energy of the lead singer dissipated among the less than 100 people who turned up. Poor publicity might have been to blame for the empty-looking floor: while they were on tour to promote their new album Getting High On Your Own Supply, word about...
...record label out of Brighton (the Brighton on the other side of the pond, not the one on the other side of the Charles) that released dance music that was too risky for big-brother label Loaded to put its name on. Then Skint signed Norman Cook, a.k.a. Fatboy Slim, and the rest is history. Nowadays Skint is the home of major big beat artists like the Low Fidelity All Stars, Hardknox and Cut La Roc, while Loaded is still mostly unheard of outside the English club circuit...

Dartmouth has only two games left in the regular season--most teams have four games left--and both games are against ranked opponents, Northeastern and Providence...
...moment, at least, it's both, as was clear when McCain climbed back onto his plane and headed down to South Carolina, where he was met at 3 a.m. in an airport hangar by hundreds of college kids and the earsplitting techno sounds of Fat Boy Slim. Bomba dada boomba ba went the music. It nearly parted your hair. Signs were waved and bodies were hopping on the concrete floor. It was as if this father of seven, who spent 5 1/2 years in a prison camp during a war that was over before most of the revelers were born...
