Zoo has been putting in the leg work these days, having released one of my favorite records of the year with Flight. Actually, I can't believe I haven't talked about The Lead Riders here yet, considering how I shot an old man full of it the other day while he pissed his bus seat.

Remember: it's not the heat, it's the humidity.
