  I knew these guys when they were peddling demo tapes on Holloway Road. I put them on *em one*, and now they're living it up in LA. And I'm still here in freezing London. Where's the justice? But sheriously folks, these guys are great. Their first album's a masterpiece, and they're working on second, which is good news for us all.

• The Virtual Pig
  The guy who runs this is a really special bloke. He taught me loads about life, work, and technical authoring - I feel I truly entered manhood under his tutelage. He is genuinely one of the nicest, most honest people I've ever met. That said, his site's a load of cobblers. But he linked to me, so what can you do?
