Desert Island Discs · Norman Cook, DJ and musician · 25 Jul 2026 podcast

You're worse than I am and now you're all right.

And it's a bit like, you know, that thing of blues music, you know, there's always somebody worse off than you.

If I'm really down, I listen to someone who's more down than me.

I'm dreading the solitude.

I think I'd be quite happy right now where I am in my life to live my life on a desert island and just take it a little bit easy.

And that's probably the only thing that would let me retire, would be enforced retirement.

But there's the solitude bit.

So I would, aside from learning how to fish and light fires and build shelters, I would always be gazing on the horizon for another castaway.

Just, yeah, one other.

One other, I think, would do it.

I mean, it'd be nice if it could be a few.

Yeah, I don't know why that's just... Fine.

In this whole process and then talking about my book choice, my book choice is definitely all about the other people that hopefully are going to come and join me.

It had to be something that would remind me of the clubbing experience.

It would have to be something that made the hairs on my back and neck stand up and my grimace turn into a smile.

So it's Born Slippy.

On the desert island, there must be some kind of room for a bit of a jump around.

I can't just be reflective and pastoral and seeing the beauty in it all.

At some point I would have to have a leap around, and this is one of the best records to leap around that has ever been invented.

Yeah, this is Born Slippy by Underworld.
