Under a bold heading “There are two Mark E. Smiths inside you …”, two
close-cropped head-shots of Mark E. Smith (1957–2018) of the music
band The Fall. The picture on the left shows Smith as a
smartly-dressed young man, grinning happily (possibly laughing) at the
camera. The picture on the right shows a middle-aged Smith with a
rumpled open-necked shirt collar and a creased and careworn face with
a sullen expression. Under the pictures is the much smaller credit
text “Photographs © Tom Sheehan from ‘Renegade’, by Mark E. Smith (w/
Austin Collings) — Penguin, 2009”.

Hey! You native speakers.
All you kind & beautiful people.

Can #anyone help to explain, what could be the meaning of the first three words (yelled over and over again) in "Guest informant"?

"Baghdad / Bazdad"
"Space-Cog"
"Analyst"

- I even doubt that this is, what Mark E. Smith is shouting most of the time. But what the heck ...

Any hints? Any guesses?

Live at the Witch Trials is the debut studio album by the English post-punk band the Fall. It was released on 16 March 1979 through record label Step-Forward. It is not, despite its title, a live album and was recorded in a studio in a single day...

Some of the songs date from earlier incarnations of the group and feature writing credits from former members Tony Friel and Una Baines. Lyrical subject matter includes a tirade against the music industry ("Music Scene"), low-quality jobs ("Industrial Estate") and drugs ("No Xmas for John Quays", "Like to Blow", "Frightened", "Underground Medecin"). "Frightened" was described by Dave McCullough in Sounds as "a breathtaking, ominously culminating monster of a song". "Rebellious Jukebox" was described by Pitchfork as "one of the first self-aware Fall anthems", with the title viewed as "[summing] up The Fall's stance against prevailing trends" - Wikipedia
