Wow! I hadn't listened to this album in a long time 🤩

Did you know that the Atari ST was used in the creation of the tracks?

The Housemartins, Me and the Farmer, 1987 on Go! Discs

Released as a 12″ single from The People Who Grinned Themselves To Death, including the b-side of the 7″ single “I Bit My Lip” but also “He Will Find You Out” and “Step Outside.”

Norman Cook (who later became Fatboy Slim among many aliases), Dave Hemingway (also later in The Beautiful South), Stan Cullimore, and Paul Heaton were The Housemartins, a Christian Socialist band out of Hull. I was (and still am) a huge fan and pick up their singles/EPs whenever I find them, which is not often.

My copy, via Joe’s Albums in Worcester MA, is a UK Aston Clinton pressing.

Norman has got to be around five times as old as the boy which is a heady blast of chronological angst for long term fans of the Fatboy (and his many guises)

"No way" - Freak Power

Not the first time they'd built a whole room inside the #TOTP studio - Madness performed one of their songs in a reconstructed living room back in the early 80s.

This is one of the early examples of Big Beat, massive banging tunes with brassy jazzy instrumentation.

Last time we hear from "Freak Power" - from now on, Norman Cook uses his own name.

A Fatboy Slim mix of something popped up on the garden playlist and my wife started laughing. We've been drinking, if you remember. She was recalling the time Fatboy Slim made me take a selfie with him. He's smiling in it. I look absolutely pissed off. Dug out the photo and now we're both in hysterics. I really don't like having my photo taken.

Groovy groovy groovy, äußerst lässig und ziemlich coole Stimmen. Bis zur Suche nach einem Video wusste ich nicht, dass der Hauptsänger auch das Posaunensolo spielt: Freak Power - Turn On Tune In Cop Out

Thing I now have that I'm never sharing with people who don't already know me in real life: a selfie with Norman Cook. Bumped into him on way back from the pub and checking out the new street art in Portsmouth. Swine wouldn't let me take a photo unless I was in it.

New from Instagram: I still remember this coming out back in 1990. Picked this up a while back. Bit crackly but plays ok.

“That is The Clash, this is RUN DMC and if you glue them together you get *sniffs* Clash DMC”. Anyone remember this from the BBC2 documentary “London 0, Hull 4”? #NormanCook. In those days they ended their live shows with a human beatbox percussive jam.
