#Alex and Josh

[barmans-fault]

Ok just a (delusional, crazy, weird, etc, whatever) thought. It's been bothering me for such a long time i need to share it. Listen.

I can't help but think AM covered 'Red Right Hand' due to Alex's insane crush on Josh Homme. AM made that song sound edgy. Intense. Horny, I would even say. Why is that? Why is Alex so thirsty for that fictional guy? Maybe because he is not so fictional after all.

A tall handsome man who is a god, a ghost and a guru (and that's exactly what Josh was for the boys, wasn't he?), who'll wrap you in his arms and tell you that you've been a good boy (and you really were such a good boy for him weren't you Aly?). He'll rekindle all of the dreams it took you a lifetime to destroy? (Dreams of an idol, a mentor, a rolemodel figure you can adore and look up to? Or something of a more obscene nature?) He'll reach deep into the hole (yeah bet he will reach very deep indeed just as you want him to) , heal your shrinking soul (cos he's someone who gets you and is incredibly smart and a pleasure to talk to and be with and learn from?) and there won't be a single thing that you can do?

Why does this tall and handsome man have so much power over you Aly? Why do you succumb to him so easily?

You'll see him in your nightmares and in your dreams? (Because of you lusting after him so much right Aly?). He'll appear our of nowhere but he's not what he seems (and doesn't Josh just have that menace about him?). You'll see him in your head (cos you're obsessed with him) and on the TV screen (cos he's a fucking frontman of one of the most brilliant bands of our time) hey buddy I'm warning you to turn it off (cos they'll get as obsessed with him as you are, poor Aly lad?). You're a microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan designed and directed by his red right hand (cos he produced this album, helped you find your new sound, had such a profound influence on you, his vision helped you define your future sound, his creative input was immense and the impact of his approach to the album was only matched by that of your most trusted friend James Ford? You owe him the sound of Humbug. In a broader sense, he really directed it and showed you the way to go, and you followed along and look how far you've come.)

The video and the sound of the song itself just have these insane QOTSA vibes, don't they? Yeah, they totally do.

"Amongst all of David's awards, you were recently named on the DILF list. Here's the top five: Pedro Pascal, Oscar Isaac, David Tennant, Mads Mikkelsen, Cillian Murphy. Oh, and Michael Sheen came in-" "Oh and where is he on the list?" "Michael Sheen's number six." "Number six! And just remind me where I am?" "Three, you're three." "Number three!"

Justice for Michael Sheen!
