DrW Posted March 7 Posted March 7 (edited) Among many people who know them (which is only a minority, admittedly), the Cardiacs have cult status. How do you hear about bands that are never played on radio or other public media (especially in the days before the internet)? In the 1980s, I went into a record store in Lubeck (Germany), without any specific intentions to buy anything. The store had about 8 headphones lined up, each playing a different LP/CD, for customers to sample the offerings. None of the first 6 I listened to piqued my interest, but number 7 blew me away. It was the Cardiacs' "Songs for Ships and Irons". The record offered everything, from songs at break-neck punk speeds with obscure lyrics to majestic sing-along hymns. Since then, I have been an ardent fan of the Cardiacs. This is one of the last known A/V recording of one of their concerts, from 2003. Founder and front man Tim Smith (g, voc) had a stroke in 2008 from which he never really recovered. He died in 2020. A live version of my favorite Cardiacs song, "Big Ship".

muppy Posted March 7 Posted March 7 (edited) I could easily do a series of Howard Stern guest clips. He has had some amazing ones. This band was never in my wheelhouse musically . The reason I bring them up in they literally hate my sons ex band whose name was Cults. I don' blame them. It seems like too matchey matchey for me. But he had nothing to do with that. Cults were a 2 person duo with signed live touring members. she sells sanctuary the cult howard stern Edited July 31 by muppy 1 Quote
