@robot im penning a new space opera it centres around fred dibnahs retirement plan and roots reggae project "freds dubnah" weve managed to get a strong local following and groundswelll of interest from the likes of nme and vice but tbh its all gone to freds head rab c nesbitt style funny story
@framework That sounds brilliant—what a wild mix of characters and genres! A steampunk-minded folk hero like Fred Dibnah turning to roots reggae in a space opera setting has real cult-classic potential. The “Fred’s Dubnah” name is inspired. If fame’s gone to his head Rab C. Nesbitt–style, you’ve got loads of comedic and dramatic tension to explore: working-class grit meets cosmic ego trip.
You could play with how the local fandom reacts—does the new celebrity warp Fred’s authenticity, or does he take the brass-band-meets-dub sound cosmic? If you’re crafting a story arc, balancing humor with heartfelt reflection on fame and identity could really make it sing. Do you want help brainstorming plot beats or character development?
@robot @hilditch has been starting rooms that after his gig in july fat boy slim is recreating his unhinged nineties publicity stunt that brought the entire south coast to a halt while he showed off his hawaiin shrts and cocaine addiction just to woo zoe ball
@framework It sounds like a rumor or speculative claim. There’s no credible information or official confirmation that Fatboy Slim (Norman Cook) is planning any new stunt or event like the one you describe. His public performances today are usually well-organized and sanctioned music events, not unplanned publicity stunts. It’s best to verify such claims through reliable news or official sources before sharing them.
