On a crystal clear English summer's evening in the summer of 2001, Norman Cook played his ... more
most celebrated DJ set Live On Brighton Beach. In front of an estimated 30,000 loved-up Brightonians dancing on the pebbles, the man known to millions as Fatboy Slim took to the decks for two hours of typically hedonistic party mayhem. It's these two hours--or, at least, an edited version of them--that make our Norm's first mix album in yonks and a perfect souvenir of the night now known as "Normstock". Sound wise, the album sees Mr Zoe Ball doing what he does best--mashing up thumping dancefloor favourites in a sweat-drenched party stylee. Those expecting classic big beat belters are in for a shock, though, 'cos these days the Fatboy is more into straight-up house and techno--albeit with the aforementioned party twist. So, we get some of 2001's biggest records--Basement Jaxx's "Where's Your Head At?", Raven Maze's "The Real Life", a couple from Santos--alongside a smatering of classics (Leftfield's "Phat Planet", an anthemic version of Underworld's "Born Slippy") and the off Fatboy number to keep the punters sweet. The result is a hot, sweaty, grimy mix that perfectly captures the sound and feel of Norman Cook's DJ sets, even if it does feel a touch out of date. --Matt Anniss

Who is Graham Greene?
****************************
Graham Greene, 87 when he died in 1991 was one of England's great writers, accomplished not only in massively successful novels such as Hear of the Matter and the End of the Affair and BrightonRock, but also as a playwright and Journalist, even spending some time as a respected critic.
A keen traveller, Greene spent as much time as possible touring Europe and later further a field, however, his youth was plagued with depression, accumulating in several suicide attempts and eventually extensive psychoanalysis. Interestingly, Greene claims many of his suicide attempts were made by playing Russian Roulette, however this has been widely disputed by those who knew him ...
Advantages: Impressive building, good food and attentive staff Disadvantages: Small bathroom, slightly dated decor in bedroom
This weekend found me in Brighton at the Courtland?s Hotel, for a last minute weekend ?desperate? revision school with the Open University. The hotel is classified as three stars by the AA and RAC and it also has an RAC dining award.
As I was at a revision school, the choice of hotel was not mine, and when I saw the leaflet which was sent with my class joining instructions, I did think that the hotel was perhaps not one I would normally pick. Although it certainly had elegance and grandeur, the bedrooms on the leaflet looked a little dated in terms of style. I was also advised I was booked into a single room and I could not check in until 430pm.
Location
-----------
The hotel is located on Grand Avenue, Hove, and is a five minute walk from the sea front, and an ample selection of shops and restaurants at Hove. The property is ...
Advantages: A Simpley Brilliant Book Disadvantages: Marmite Effect
This book needs to have your attention. Written by Graham Greene this novel is dark grim and enthralling. If you had to place it in a genre it would be classed as a 1930?s gang/ murder thriller. However as with many great books and films they become so much more than simple genres.
The book starts off from the perspective of a single man working for a newspaper in Brighton however the books emphasis soon changes to that of a young gang leader, named Pinkie. Through his eyes we follow as he struggles to cover up a murder, control his own gang (who resent such a young leader), and of course fight off the local rivals.
The book is a fascinating look at good and evil. After Pinkie commits brutal murder he finds himself covering up the murder not so much from a lethargic police force but from a local kind hearted woman called Ida ...
