Songbook Xtended: Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want
The Dream Academy - Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want (1986) [Original Post]
Did The Smiths do it first? Sure, but why let that spoil a good time? There's no reason that Ferris bloke needs to get in the way, either. Dream Academy's airy, renaissance fair overhaul blows the dust and self-loathing off of the guitary ode to angst, making its soppy title play more like an affirmation to fulfillment than the usual Morrissey bellyaching. The Dream Academy cover turns the song into the soundtrack to its own good time. Yeah, I would like to listen to this in an art museum. Or maybe a nice outdoor restaurant with creeping vines on lattice. Or just at home after a good spring clean. Anywhere a dream might come to pass, really.

Songbook Xtended: The Miracle of Love
Eurythmics - The Miracle of Love (1986) [Original Post]
I'll show you something good. Oh, I'll show you something good. It's been a rough year. A rough few months, but the thing is, a lot of that comes from a place of love. There's some comfort in that. A certain amount of strength and resolve. I'm not really one for believing in miracles, but I believe in that. That love is a tremendous, valuable thing. I would like more of it in my life. Unimpeded and uninterrupted. Sometimes it's hard to express those kinds of thoughts and that's where a lovely song like this one comes in. Those smooth, warm, velveteen vocals crystallizing something that transcends the simple language that's incidental to the tones and rhythm of its vibration. Maybe I've got it all wrong. Maybe there's a case for miracles being everywhere.

Infinite Wars: Klaw vs Daredevil
KLAW versus DAREDEVIL
Context! (Marvel)
Where: Daredevil #237 When: December 1986
Why: John Harkness How: Louis Williams
The Story So Far...
An encounter with the sound manipulating mutant called Dazzler saw Klaw absorbed and dissipated when she used his powers to attack the world devourer: Galactus. Thus began a strange cosmic journey for the formless Klaw!
When The Beyonder summoned Galactus to Battleworld for his Secret Wars: Doctor Doom was able to discover and reform Klaw from his lifeless prison within the circuitry of Galactus' ship. Resurrection was brief, however, as the mad Master of Sound became a weapon against The Beyonder -- and then host for the cosmic being when it briefly surrendered its omnipotence!
Returned to Earth with his solid sound body in tact, Klaw becomes desperate to restore his reputation within the criminal ranks, and prove himself free from madness. Finding himself in New York City, he soon comes upon Daredevil: the perfect hero to prove he's still as dangerous as ever!
