Slug, the musical project as opposed to the slimy creature, is the brainchild of Field Music alumnus Ian Black, indeed his former bosses, the Brewis brothers, lend their considerable talents to the debut LP, 'Ripe'. 'Cockeyed Rabbit Wrapped in Plastic' was the first taste we got of Slug, at the tail end of last year. The song boasts a very catchy chorus, but it's a bugger to sing along with.

Why Did the Slug Cross the Road?
It's a good question and one I've asked
myself several times over the past week or
so. Coinciding with the recent burst of damp
weather, I've noticed huge numbers of slugs
crossing pavements and roads, presumably to
get to the other side. But why do they leave
perfectly functional fields and gardens to
cross a road, thus risking a splatty death,
just to get to another identical field or
garden? I dunno, but when I'm out walking up
and down local country lanes I do my best to
avoid flattening them. Cars are less careful.

As long as they piss off out our garden I don't care where they go. Not that I'm a gardener. Just don't like the slugs.

Send them to me if you like, SA - I love slugs. I've a soft spot for nature's less lovable specimens.
