The very same guy who in the early nineties went under the dubious name of Pizzaman. [...]
The BPA is the new project by Fatboy Slim. Slowly we have been hearing tracks from the album be released and now we finally have the full length record. Sadly, I think that the record sufferes the same ill-fate of most of Fatboy's recent material. Yes, there is a lot of positives here but there only manages to be a few diamonds in the grass. This album features a huge list of collaborations with Simon Thornton, Tom Gandey (AKA Cagedbaby), Justin Robertson, Ashley Beedle, Lateef, Martha Wainwright, Jamie T, David Byrne & Dizzee Rascal, Iggy Pop, Olly Hite, Connan Mockasin, [...]

The legend of the "lost" BPA tapes has simmered amongst the music community for decades. Now, BPA Chairman Norman Cook and company are finally ready to reveal The BPA sessions to the world.

Eight minutes of being mesmerized by only the maneuvers and medium shots of Iggy Pop does something to a person. To us, it just keeps the smiles open longer. The BPA , maybe the largest collective in pop music we'll see for a while, are seriously on the watchlist for 2009 for us, and if you know any better, they should be on yours. I Think We're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat is out very soon. (mp3) The BPA - Seattle (Jaimie Fanatic remix) [...]
