    Good guess, but I'm not sure the Federation would approve of the black high heel shoes that the girl on the album cover is wearing. ;):D

    Sounds like a cool plot for that and seems to fit with a "Backspacer" theme, imo.

    Yeah i dont think so its this one either, the girl on that picture is on the wrong position and you can't see her black heels.

    I have no idea if any of this makes any sense, and I'd say that the pit&pendulum theory made more sense, but here goes:

    Where will Hirst look next for inspiration?
    Despite not a whiff of rotting flesh or formaldehyde, Damien Hirst, the so-called "bad boy" of British art, has again prompted a storm of protest with his latest work.
    Hymn, a 20-ft bronze sculpture of a male torso, has angered Hull-based company Humbrol, which fears the art work is a direct copy of its Young Scientist Anatomy Set.
    Seemingly adding insult to injury, Hymn is the first of Hirst's works to net him a cool £1m, catapulting him into the super league of British artists alongside Lucian Freud and David Hockney.
    Humbrol's model, complete with removable organs, can be picked up for less than £15 at toy shops around the country.

    In the magician art, the bubble has; hands catching a tambourine (Ed at the end of Baba), the bat (the stuffed bat Eddie had on stage as did the band), 5 eyes (5 band members). Don't know about the rest, but it is a start.

    There's also this:
    Doctor Who has long been a favourite referent for political cartoonists, from a 1964 cartoon in the Daily Mail depicting Charles de Gaulle as a Dalek, to a 2008 edition of This Modern World by Tom Tomorrow in which the Tenth Doctor informs an incredulous character from 2003 that the Democratic Party will nominate an African-American (Barack Obama) as its presidential candidate.

    The image above is the closest one showing devils whispering to a magician that I had found and posted a few days back on theskyiscrape (which has a similar thread people may want to hit up).

    reading left to right, and then top to bottom . . .

    1) that's jeff as a kid and the trainwreck that would be his future girlfriend's hats, the fire represents hair loss
    2) that's dave a getting the axe for being the alpha male
    3) stone there with all his magic and ed's distractions of throwing tambourines, the bat wings, and jumping into the crowd . . . the three chicks and the eyes are up for interpretation, i won't pretend to understand stone
    4) mike there in seattle . . . maybe chron's feels like living underwater . . . the sea turtle is cool for sure
    5) this i your brain on pearl jam . . . calm down kat
    6) matt drumming in outter space, duh
    7) stone again, after all it is all his fault
    8) boom and his 50ft tall bitches which he got by being in pearl jam . . . the tricycle represents the organ (notice how it is near his "organ") which got him only regular height women
    9) sorry, but that is ed in a dress, surfing in a new style maybe

    good.
    give J Roddy Waslton & the Business a listen, that is all.
