Did you hear about David Byrne’s upcoming project with Norman Cook (a.k.a. Fatboy Slim)? The musical about the life of Imelda Marcos? “We had a rule that we didn’t mention the shoes,” Cook tells Rolling Stone. “I was trying get him to sing it, but he said, ‘I can’t be Imelda Marcos.’ Fuck it, you’ve worn the big suits, I’ve seen you do stranger things than that!”

Cook isn’t just working on the musical Here Lies Love, though: he’s also been hard at work on a new album of big beats and Gnarls Barkley-style groove-pop, which is coming out under the name Brighton Port Authority. As Cook tells it, the LP is a compilation of found tracks recorded and lost since the 1970s, featuring some pretty cool collaborators like Byrne, Iggy Pop, Dizzee Rascal and a slew of up-and-coming English songwriters. “It’s sort of like the Traveling Wilburys but good,” Cook says.
