The Wighnomy Brothers are to techno what Barney is to dinosaurs: portly, friendly and very radically sexual.

Thus, it is with sincere despondence that FTVS announces their disbandment. Soren (Monkey Maffia) and Gabor (Robag Wruhme), the parts which make up the Wighnomy’s immaculate whole, penned this note to FTVS founding editors Jack Colt and Bob Albatross:

Dearest Jack and Bob,

After 17 years we are now announcing the retirement of the Wighnomy Brothers DJ project. We will continue to play until 31/12/2009. From then on, we will still be there for you and the FTVS public — but separately. We would like to thank FTVS — you kept faith with us in front, besides and behind the turntables. Thank you for the never to be forgotten memories! Fortuna is indeed a vicious slut, and we owe it to you for teaching us as much. Good bye and take care!

FTVS believes this is the greatest loss to music since the vasectomy of Jermaine Jackson. While that may be an overstatement, it is certainly fair and just to say that their divorce is, indeed, much worse than global warming and the Taliban.

Soren and Gabor, FTVS is forever in debt-bondage to you, and hopes never to repay its deficit.
