from the Village Voice's annual 'Best of NY' issue:

"While fantasizing about training animals to start a band, Jon Singer
decided to launch a human ragtime band that parades as other species
(like the Banana Splits) - so a year ago, Xylopholks was born. Singer
appears as xylophone player "Skunky," alongside his sidekick "Pink
Gorilla" on upright bass.... 'We enjoy the completely NY experience of
folks casually walking by as if pink gorillas and skunks are always
playing on the platforms.'" etc.

myspace.com/xylopholks

I've yet to see these folks myself, but when I do I'm going to invite
them to the next furcon.

The headpieces seem to vary by costume. Looks like they're working off the
rack.

You'd better watch out or you're gonna find yourself surrounded by
angry fursuiters like that reporter on 'Back to You.'

So furry is just another gang?
Thugs in animal costumes?
Interesting. Tell me how this improves the fandoms image?

I agree with you - humorless thugs at that. The jokes the reporter was
making weren't half bad. (Some people thought the piece was positive
overall - go figure.)

Viewer response was split, actually, with a narrow majority figuring it
poked more fun at insensitive reporters than at furry fandom.
