Oh, THAT definitely sounds like a challenge, Mike. I'll meet you back here at high noon tomorrow. Except we're having a snowstorm, so I might not have to go in to work, in which case let's make it brunch at ten-ish. I'll bring the mimosas.

All right, it's high noon in Minnesota and my snowstorm wimped out, so I'm at work. Mike, I have to admit I find no obvious Sweet reference in the CD. I have these two ideas and they're both long shots:
1) Puppets/pulling strings---a reference to their half live LP Strung Up in which they appear with strings attached on the cover?
2) The line "she's a first class bleeder"---but that might be from a Mott The Hoople song. I can't remember.
I have to know, though, so when you see this, spill the beans!

It's not a lyric
It's a small musical reference, it's not a lyric nod. We end a song exactly like a Sweet song. Check the end of each song, and see if anything clicks. If not, I'll spill it.

OK, Mike, here are my guesses.
1) Stigmata's ending is a tad reminiscent of the end of Hellraiser.
But if I were a betting man, my money would be on this:
2) The end of No Hidden Track (#17) is like the end of Set Me Free.
If both these guesses are incorrect, I would like to point out I DID notice the last chord of Art Magazines sounds exactly like the last chord of Beaver O'Lindy from Sparks' "A Woofer In Tweeter's Clothing" album.
Let me know if I passed the quiz, man!

You passed
2 would be correct. 1 was supposed to be like In The Mood by The Benny Goodman Orchestra.

You are a man of many reference points, Mike! Tanx for letting me play.
