I blame Wynton, what was the question?

I'm one of the 212.
Order placed!

I ordered the two CD's for sale I do not have yet; The Odd even CD-single and the greatest Hits CD, along with a little man, a house T-shirt :-)
Happy for now.
Just ordered $140 worth CDs...frankly I am looking forward to them...
Note this little bit of nastiness from the new site from those uncaring hellions at Alphabet Business Concern:
--
History update August 2013
And so for five years, history ceased to be created by Cardiacs. Unless we consider the undignified shenanigans of Tim Smith who ‘fell’ into a pool filled with shit and is still crawling and scratching his way out of it. The ALPHABET BUSINESS CONCERN wishes it to be known that, whilst maintaining complete control of his artistic output, they disassociate themselves ENTIRELY with his recent illness and, in fact, fail to recognise it as an excuse for not fulfilling his duties.
--
This makes me hopeful that maybe things are beginning to be a little bit better enough with Tim's health that they can start making with the evilness again.
I hope so...

There now follows a special announcement from THE ALPHABET BUSINESS CONCERN
Tim continues to have health problems but recently a London-based consultant who specializes in working with musicians has begun working with him in an effort to restore greater freedom and movement.
That's very promising news - I dearly hope that things improve for Tim.
Here's Napalm Death covering Cardiacs (on a split with The Melvins that sold out immediately):
1. That Napalm Death single was GREAT! I mean GREAT
2. Did anyone see this IMPORTANT announcement from the ALPHABET BUSINESS CONCERN:

There now follows an announcement from THE ALPHABET BUSINESS CONCERN
The ABC wishes it to be known that Mary has been relegated to a seedy garage to perform her duties as ordinary shop girl. This is in response to her recent, flagrant allegiance to Mr. Tim Smith. Pictures to follow.

^^ that is excellent!
seeing the photos from last week of Tim being out and about was really heartwarming. the amount of support he's gotten has been nothing short of incredible!
where were these photos of Tim 'out and about' posted? url?

There are some pics in/around posts 222/223 in this thread...not sure if those are the ones that were being referred to or not though.
Edit: sorry, those are from several weeks ago. Apologies.
If you're actually reading this then chances are you already have my last album but if NOT and you're curious:

Also, Ephemeral Sun: it's a thing and we like making things that might be your thing: https://ephemeralsun.bandcamp.com
try the Cardiacs group on Facebook, I think that's where I saw 'em
OK. thank you! I did see those photos on FB. I thought this was something newer.
But yes, VERY good to see!

There was a big Cardiacs event last weekend, Tim was in attendance, that is where the new photos come from. From the account I read, in addition to the live bands, they played a bunch of footage from the unreleased rehearsal DVD.
The Mare's Nest DVD was on sale and is soon to be added to the online shop.
01 Sep 2013
There now follows an announcement from THE BUSINESS CONCERN
You will be delighted to hear that keen to keep up with the latest technological trends, the ALPHABET BUSINESS CONCERN have seen fit to release the MARES NEST on DVD in glorious region free, PAL 4:3 Format. It will be available from the on-line shop from Monday 2 September 2013.
Can someone (Kavus?) fix the website address, or at least bump it up in google?
Searching for ABC or Cardiacs points to www.cardiacs.com which does not hint on the existence of cardiacs.net
It has everything in it, shop and all, only all the CDs are OOP...
So I've had A little Man, and, On Land and in the Sea, for a couple of weeks now and I may like both better than Sing To God. I am now officially a fanboy.

If you ultimately find that you do prefer those two to STG then I will warmly welcome you to the club of old school Cardiacs fans, who find STG a bit too much for the aural organs.
Having heard those two classics you're next purchase is the third old line-up studio album "The Seaside"
The new reissues are very tempting, but still a bit pricey. Any chance they will be sold on any American websites? I would love to own at least one to see what the hype is all about. I'm sure I'd love it...
