Radiohead vs. The Grammys
(Apparently last night’s Grammy awards made Radiohead as pissed-off as they made us [The Arcade Fire for Best New Artist instead of METALLICA?! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING, IDIOTS???], because they’ve decided to throw the ol’ (pitch)fork in the microwave (I think that is a metaphor for the 24-hours news cycle) and release a new album, The King of Limbs, this weekend. In honor of this occasion, Part III of Seizure Chicken’s ongoing, nearly worthwhile Chicken Piece Theater. This week: trouble’s a-brewing in New Haven, Connecticut!)
/// Vol. III: …And Keep Your Enemies Closerer ///
Scene 1
(INSPECTOR PAVEMENT P. RADIOHEAD and DETECTIVE BUILT T. SPILL are hunched over in an alley, investigating the brutal murder of JOANNA NEWSOM’S BACKUP HARP somewhere in France.)
RADIOHEAD: dammit.
SPILL: yep. And shit.
RADIOHEAD: I mean…fuck.
SPILL: did you see the Grammys last night?
RADIOHEAD: no.
BACKUP HARP: (gurgles through harpful of blood)…no. (dies)
(Inspector Radiohead holds up a BLOODY DISMEMBERED DREADLOCK)
RADIOHEAD: (starts vomiting everywhere)
SPILL: it’s as bad as I thought…
RADIOHEAD: (vomits quizzically)
SPILL; you’re right. It’s much worse. By the way, did you see the Grammys last night?
RADIOHEAD: still no.
Scene 2
(RADIOHEAD and SPILL sit in a poorly lit club, at a table, across from BUSTA RHYMES)
SPILL: (gesturing wildly) we found your goddamn dreadlocks all over the scene of the crime!
BUSTA: (drinking from a large coconut) Ha…yaw
RADIOHEAD: (pounds table) I’m telling you, this man is innocent!
BUSTA: (pointing) HA
RADIOHEAD: (pounds tequila) and awesome.
Scene 3
(INSPECTOR PAVEMENT and DETECTIVE SPILL are SHOTGUNNING BREWS and listening to METAL IRONICALLY)
RADIOHEAD: I heard Joanna Newsom can’t even play the harp
SPILL: no way!
RADIOHEAD: Busta Rhymes can though.
SPILL: hey did you see the Gram-
RADIOHEAD: NO
Scene 4
(A seedy motel in the Bourge de Bologne.)
BUSTA RHYMES: (with GUNNYSACK OF GRAMMYS slung over shoulder) free to kill again! YAWWW BAH HA
PITCHFORK: (offscreen) 7.4!
