Art of the Cover - The Spencer Davis Group's "The Second Album" (1966)
A nice, simple yet somehow enigmatic, band shot adorns the cover to The Spencer Davis Group's second album called, erm .. "The Second Album".
The wonderful eclectic "The Second Album" was released back in 1966.

Art of the Cover - Michael Head & The Strands "The Olde World" (1997)
Nice minimalist artwork.
A beautiful collection here from wayward genius, and erstwhile Shack and Pale Fountains head honcho, the enigmatic Mick Head.
"The Olde World" comprises unreleased songs and alternative arrangements (some very different indeed!) of material from the mighty "The Magical World of the Strands".

![Ren – Freckled Angels (2016) [MP3]](http://web.archive.org./web/20160415142717im_/http://img.boredbee.net/imager/w_500/h_/460a82f55791e30267064af12da0f859.jpg)
The Music - Bob Dylan blasts out 'Tangled Up In Blue'
she said 'you look like the silent type' ...
His Bobness - having stuck his face in a bowl or talcum powder ... or something else powdery and white! - blasts out the timeless 'Tangled Up In Blue' from his magnum opus Blood on the Tracks.
This comes replete with some interesting variations on the original lyrics.
This is from a performance during the legendary Rolling Thunder tour.
The clip appeared in Bob's erm ... idiosyncratic, cult classic Renaldo and Clara.

The Set - I Do! I Do!
Henry Darrow is clearly impressed with Wonderwoman's Wondrous Wonders!
Yap, Horny Henry stared downward so long, a wench was needed to raise his neck to its normal position afterwards.
A tender moment from the “I Do, I Do” episode , of The New Adventures of Wonder Woman, back in 1977.
The Word - Twin Peaks
"Those are Playboy tits. I haven't seen Playboy tits anywhere except Playboy''.
-- from Sean Cunningham's classic "Spring Break" (1983)
The Music - The Smiths belt out "Miserable Lie" Live in Madrid (1985)
please stay with your own kind and I'll stay with mine
Mozza and Marr and pals (that'd be Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce, of course) blast out a great live version of the ever frenetic and scathing "Miserable Lie."
This comes from a gig at Paseo De Camoens back on the 8th of May, 1985 - a gig captured in the bootleg "Spanish Sun Live In Madrid."
This was a free concert supported by the Madrid Townhall on the occasion of (the patron saint of Madrid) Saint Isidro's bank holiday. The socialist party was very interested in pop music and wanted to give a boost to a city that was culturally dead after 40 years of dictatorship. The Spanish were very welcoming and the concert was a big success. Morrissey was very energetic, he danced wildly but wasn't very talkative.
As in Barcelona two days earlier the Smiths played a 18 track setlist including the almost forgotten "This Charming Man" and the occasionally skipped "Barbarism Begins At Home".
A song that only Morrissey could write and a song similar in lyrical theme to "Pretty Girls Make Graves".
Built on some gorgeous Marr riffs - and some insane Mozza falsetto wails! - it's a song of confusion - "I need advice, I need advice."
A song about, perhaps, thinking you're of one sexual orientation and then realising you're not so sure and not wanting this distressing stuff brought up again
A song about, perhaps, thinking you're of one sexual orientation and then realising you're not so sure and not wanting this distressing stuff brought up again
The line "a rented room in Whalley Range" refers to a dive in an area of Manchester about two miles southwest of the city centre where Morrissey used to cohabit with Linder Sterling (and the guitarist from her band, Ludus) for about a year when he was about 19.
A song that has a clear lyrical nod to Mozz hero Oscar Wilde' with the line "you have destroyed my flower-like life" referencing "by his sweetness and goodness to her through the brief years of his flower-like life" from De Profundis.
And one laden with trademark witty barbed attacks ("stay with your own kind and I'll stay with mine") and moments of self deprecation ("I'm just a country-mile behind the whole world.")

The Still - The Dame Busters
Harumi Kai and her lethal weapons in Kyo Nyo [aka Big Boobs Buster] (1990).
Therein, she plays flat-chested schoolgirl Masako, who wages war on the big-breasted girls at her school following rejection by her love interest.
