🤭 This is one of those cases where I feel like a complete idiot but still want to post this as it's so ridiculous and yet, ironically, eye opening…

For ever I heard this line - "Open up your eyes, you've got to magnetise". Yesterday I discovered that it is actually, quite obviously and clearly - "Open up your eyes, you can't turn back the tide"!

🤦‍♂️What on earth did I think was the relevance of magnets 🤪🧲 Still, you live and learn 🤣

Anyone got any other similarly crazy misheard lines?

A kitten and a Depeche Mode record, what's not to like?! 😻🎶

From the Instagram page of a Swedish record store, @ skivloppisenimoliden, where a litter of kittens live amongst the vinyl, much to the delight of customers! The price for the A Broken Frame record works out at a very reasonable £9.30 💷

... And there is nothing I can do, when I realise with fright, that the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight! 😱

A Lullaby inspired image using an 80's toy Battle Best spider figure.

Finding a random little cut out candycane in the garden instantly made me think of the spiderman's striped legs. As my spider Battle Beast hasn't got the original weapon, well it was too good an opportunity not to arm him! So the idea came to mind to put him up in the corner of the room to search out fear in the gathering gloom... 🕸️🕷️

(Just for transparency, the background is a digital creation but the spider figure is mine and the image has been edited by me)

After having a bit of a discussion about runout etchings on my last post, I thought that this one was worth highlighting!

It's on the a-side of the UK 7" single, and on the b-side is IT’S JUST IT, IT’S JUST A QUES, A QUESTION OF COPYING. This is of course a couple of years before A Question Of Time or Lust, perhaps the line stuck with Martin and he altered it later on!?

Only the second find so far this year, which was probably the reason I went for it even though it isn't in the best condition. The weird illustration on the artwork (with a little terrapin on the back) is very eyecatching and helped me spot it in the box of very mixed vinyl. It's a bit poppy and crackly for the first few minutes but improves from then on. The remixed extended version is just so good, I like the d-d-d-d-d-dd's without the "understand me" but the strange zooming sound going across instead!

Flexible is a strange b-side, a cautionary tale about fame but set to an almost jovial rolling beat. Kind of has a more light Behind The Wheel/Route 66 feel in that respect.

Edit - Just seen the runout etchings! On the a-side is a little waving hand symbol and HE DOESN'T REALLY GET IT DOES HE, and on the b-side is GP STIKES AGAIN!
