We visited London Zoo yesterday and in true Slow Thrills style, the Two-Toed Sloth entertained us in slow-motion. Which reminds me that I must post a few new reviews up over the next few days.

Since I got this Sitemeter gizmo on this site I've been able to see particular internet searches that have led people here. Someone even translated it into French today!
The most popular searches have been for the Ninja Tune act Fog and Northern Ireland band the Amazing Pilots, which is unfortunate as there isn't really much info on here about them - just some old gig listings.

It seems the self-created hype around the pornographic pictures on the sleeve of the forthcoming Oxes album has caused problems for online music zine Pitchfork. The zine has been taken down by its ISP for posting some of the pics. Is this for real or just a promo gimmick??
For what it's worth, the Oxes label Monitor Records would appear to have withdrawn the artwork. I smelt a rat over the whole thing when I saw this picture of the public protest!
