A euphoric Fatboy Slim strode to the front of a rain-drenched
outdoor stage at Brighton seafront earlier this week, his arms
outstretched and a vast grin plastered across his soaking wet face.
Despite the best efforts of the English weather to scupper the event,
the DJ was enjoying himself as usual.
After enduring a painful series of electric shocks during his typically
frenetic performance, Fatboy was lapping up the adulation of 20,000
revellers who had chosen to see in the New Year in the company of
Britain's best-loved superstar DJ at his hometown gig.
Two days later and he is back in the news again. This time Fatboy is
being linked to Hollywood's hottest film composer, Danny Elfman,
founder of the cult band Oingo Boingo and creator of theme tunes for
The Simpsons and Desperate Housewives.
Elfman's previous movie scores include Batman, Good Will Hunting and the recent remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
The two men, both celebrated for the cartoonish quality they bring
to their music, have been working together on a soundtrack for a new
Disney children's animation. Although details remain scant, the project
is generating considerable excitement in both film and music circles.
