Doctor, Doctor give me the news….

Some of you might pretend you don’t have a winking brown starfish on the bottom of your nether region but Urgent Care is here to tell you that Colonoscopies can save your life. Get your pack of Pico-Salax and let the chocolate fountain bubble and flow. The colonoscope is a thin catheter with a camera attached to the end of it. Much like the movie The Fantastic Voyage, these explorers will navigate around billowing bulbous hemorrhoids like speed bumps in quiet sleepy fenced middle-class America. Now, if you are lucky, they can also do an endoscopy while you are out cold on the table. Rest assured they will not use the catheter on your gullet that was previously up your Hershey highway…. mind you if they reverse that it might explain why people exclaim... Whoa man, your breath smells like shit!.

So don the vinyl gloves and get ready to explore and leave those latex gloves on the operating floor ( you might not be aware that people with latex allergies might also have allergic reactions to certain foods like Kiwi, Bananas and Avocado this is due to some of the proteins in latex are also present in these fruits).

Urgent Care has emerged from the medical waste disposal site like medical student Toxic Avengers. Aurally (say Ahhhhhh!) resonating like output from the well-loved Rip Off Records. The Mummies emerging from beneath the Pyramids to tag team, poke in the eye cage match with the often feared- The Angry Samoans.Fast blasts of soap sud enemas blasting all over blue medical pads like a brown Tsunami. Believe in Science. Believe in Urgent Care.

Big Circle

Big Circle
Independent (2026)

There are plenty of supergroups that exist largely because of the names on the marquee. Big Circle feels different. While Glenn Mercer (The Feelies), Mike Watt (Minutemen, fIREHOSE), Dave Weckerman (The Feelies), and Dan Francia (Speed the Plough) all bring decades of musical history to the table, this debut EP isn't interested in nostalgia or individual spotlights. Instead, it succeeds … Read more

Nocturnal Prose

Western Interests
Total Agency (2026)

I’ve been reading Cory Doctorow’s latest book “The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI” a scathing review of the current state of artificial intelligence wherein he seeks to pop the AI bubble. In the book’s central metaphor Doctorow identifies the centaur as someone whose work is improved upon by technology vs the reverse centaurs who are competing with and/or … Read more
