El Flaco - I'm afraid of Harvey

The visage of Harvey Korman
Named in homage to the Mexican restaurant the band practiced behind, El Flaco was an Austin phenomenon that spawned from the tentacles of funky freak show Bouffant Jellyfish in 1993. Fusing Texas funk with ZZ Top’s boogie and sludge, Brad Turner (drums, vocals), Chris Hay (guitar, vocals), and Rob Gray (bass, vocals) wrote witty, blistering jams to which only Primus could hope to aspire (“Sister,” “Harvey Korman”), funny voices and all. The trio released debut Thub on Sector 2 in 1994 to much local thrash and shout, but when Turner left for NYC in early 1995 for culinary school gigs became infrequent. Three years later, the trio followed with party-starter El Pee on Cold Spring Records, but El Flaco called it a day soon after. Posthumously, the threesome landed on the soundtrack to Bob Ray’s Rock Opera in 2000, alongside local luminaries the Fuckemos, Ed Hall, Squat Thrust, etc. Gray moved to Baltimore in 1999 and continues making music as the Robert Gray 3. – Darcie Stevens

Middle-aged man in Lycra: Cycling turns sane men vain

 Good Grief!
look like Bradley Wiggins
 Phwoar, what a lovely bit of leg! So toned, so smooth. It’s enough to make a Mamil (middle-aged man in Lycra) fork out for surgery to help him look like Bradley Wiggins.  So says Dr Peter Finigan, a specialist in the removal of thread veins at the nationwide Dr Newmans Clinic. He’s treated 50 cyclists since the 2012 Olympics who want rid of the unsightly blemish, which can be caused by genes or booze. With a boom in men shaving their legs like the pros, newly revealed skin issues are compelling self-conscious roadies to get help.

Lance Armstrong under investigation in Spain; criminal charges possible

 Lance Armstrong’s legal battles mostly have been in civil courts in America and there didn't appear to be any indication he would face serious criminal issues outside of being banned from sports, even after
the interview where he discussed doping While some fans were disappointed that it wasn't more than a hyped interview, the cyclist might still be looking at severe penalties in the future and it could be coming from a country where the cyclist once raced.
