Music

• The legendary Spirit of SSL reviews, along with notes on various other Spirit of X compilations.

• Some of my favourite bad lyrics from songs written by people who should know better, including the Gershwins, Hendrix and the Beatles.

• I've perpretated an analysis of ABBA's ``Knowing Me, Knowing You'', which will appeal to people who are interested in things like The Annotated Lamb and (especially) The Meaning of Don McLean's American Pie.

• Here's my review of Paul Simon's recent concert in London's Hammersmith Odeon.
