Red Hot Chili Peppers (Self Titled album)
What we have here looks like a very wacky self portrait of Anthony Kiedis, amongst other things; including a sort of squiggle of what looks like a woman and a guitar. I think from this we can finally understand what was going on in the mind of Anthony Kiedis when he was giving that ill-fated performance at Reading last year and considering the fact he sees himself as having one eye it would see he is blind to a few truths in life. I wouldn’t want to get trapped somehow in his subconscious (in a kind of Being John Malkovich way) as it looks bloody horrible in there.
However, maybe it’s unfair to pin this all on Kiedis as it may have been a group effort and considering this album came out in 1989 then it must have been at the height of their drug abuse era too so god knows what was going on in their heads at that time. Maybe this was just how they saw the world, then. Still though its better than how they see it now where their loyal fans can go hang because John Frusciante (Jonty Jonty as my friend Stainesey called him after that awful performance at Reading 2007) and Kiedis want to treat one of their shows as a jam session, where they ended with sixteen or so minutes of widdly widdly (once again Stainesey’s quote) guitar jamming which got boring after about 5. What a bunch of nutters eh and no wonder this album flopped after approving some stupid doodle done by a guy off his face on drugs?

Biffy Clyro - Saturday Superhouse
The doctor is in! But by the looks of things he’s going to wish that he called in sick as it is hell in the waiting room today. It seems that someone coming in to the surgery with leprosy would be a welcome relief to the doctor on duty.
Our first patient today has a strange problem indeed, as he seems to be suffering from some kind of pestilence as there are bats flying around his head, and they look like they have no intention of moving on, to say a dark cave which would be more their kind of scene. It leads me wonder if this man is actually a demon in disguise as I can’t really see how this is a medical condition. It seems to suggest he’s cursed more than anything. Now I’m not doctor, but I certainly can’t see there being a medical file on that kind of thing.
Our second patient seems to have another of those rare medical cases. I’d hazard a guess at spontaneous combustion, but he’s remaining quite cool about it (see what I did there). Most people would run to the emergency room if engulfed in flames, but this guy clearly isn’t letting it panic him as he has taken the time to book an appointment with his GP and is happy to wait with everyone else in the waiting room. Good for him is what I say, especially when you have to consider that most doctors now demand that you phone them at the beginning of the week to book an appointment and even then it has to be urgent (or at least that’s what I have to go through) but I guess there’s no question over how serious this guy’s problem is.
The third man has a very odd condition indeed. He seems to have a condition which causes water to become attracted to his head and surround it. It’s like he’s developed some kind of gravitational water field around his face and head, and it looks quite serious considering he’s now at risk of drowning. I don’t know what the doctor could really do about this except for offer him a snorkel. However, maybe I’ve misread the situation and the second patient’s illness is catching (fire tends to be) and the doctor has found an abrupt cure for the condition.

Morrissey - You are the Quarry
Oh dear looks like Morrissey has turned to a life of crime. Is this a surprise though as he’s been quite a problem child for some time, what with the unclear persona (is he gay or isn’t he? Flowers in his arse are quite a telling sign that all wasn’t right though). However though it looks like he’s been pushed over the edge this time, and I can only but wonder what has led to him taking drastic measures of shooting up someone.
I must say I’m glad I don’t own a small launderette or a grocery store in the east end of town as I wouldn’t want Morrissey knocking on my door asking for protection money. I know what he may do (possibly involving flowers). However I must say, where do these singer songwriters get off bullying small businessmen. I mean Morrissey has made enough enemies and may not be long before someone calls a hit on him. And you’d think he’d get more for his money, I mean a Tommy gun?! I would personally favour an M16 if he’s looking for an assault weapon or an Uzi for submachine gun style attacks.
