After re-listening to the radio sessions and crying my eyes out with laughter at the interview bits, I think Cardiacs could have pulled off an original radio show.
Yea, a radio prog called, "Albuls and Cheshire Cat Grins" :-)
stone cold fact
We needed some work done at our house and the person we hired, who had the best portfolio of work and recommendations is "Tim Smith Pavers"
untruthful embellishment
The work is great but I can't stand how he just screams constantly at his workmen. I'm a little afraid of him.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?

I somehow managed to miss the brilliance that is the Cardiacs for over 20 years of full time searching in every corner of progressive rock, psychedelic craziness, sub genres of sub genres, etc....but when I found them, they hit me like nothing else ever has. I never in a billion years thought that, if asked to name my ONE favorite band ever, PERIOD, I would even have been able to narrow it down to my top ten. Then the Cardiacs happened to me. I love composers who have such a unique compositional style that you can tell within a few measures who it is. There are a handful of folks out there like that, but there is only one Tim Smith. Analyzing his chord progressions, harmonic language, and extreme rhythmic complexity, I continue to be blown away. Sing To God, On Land and In the Sea were my entry point, but the Cardiacs are unique in that there are precisely ZERO bad tunes. Or even so-so tunes. I love everything on every album. A couple albums took a bit more time to grow on me than others, but when they did....dear god. I CAN now answer the question of who my number one all time favorite band is. Cardiacs for life!!!!!
Welcome to the club of the enlightened sir. That story is the same for very many of us. My epiphany was 1988, and from that day forward my music listening and music tastes were changed forever. I'd suddenly been introduced to something I'd been looking for for decades, but didn't even know I'd been looking for it, didn't know what it was or what it was called, but when my friend played me parts of Toy World, including Nurses Whispering Verses, followed by OLAITS I knew I'd found it, and now I also knew its name Cardiacs!

Just love, love, love this band. That middle section of RES is one of the few true moments of perfection in modern pop music. Who else writes like that? And it just keeps getting better and better.

Was out walking in the mountains yesterday and played this several times. Supremely beautiful and affecting when looking at rocks and clouds and mist. I love when Tim does repetition.
"Cabinet" is a gorgeous track, a mainstay in my ever-changing playlists.

The Whole World Window Benefit show for Timmy turned out so great. Greg Braysford and Co. really put on a cool show - wish I could have been there to see it! Anyway - the videos and pictures show a very fun looking event. Which leads to Timmy... and the money raised for him from what I hear was damn good. In the thousands of pounds. Yay!
This has no doubt already been posted on FB, but for those that maybe aren't aware, last night Steve Davis did a Tim and friends special on his radio show.
Even though i've heard these songs hundreds of times it was awesome having a drink and hearing this come out of the radio. Not a bad selection at all!
Just seen the tags
This upload features tracks from WIlliam D Drake, Curdiacs, Cadiacs, Cerdiacs, Cardiacts and more.
There's also KW, SiB, Monsoon Bassoon etc and a new NSRO tune that sounds suspiciously like a Robert Wyatt cover (because it is. The track title must be wrong).
Saw The Sea Nymphs - 2nd listed in the Coming Soon section of the Wayside mailer this week!!
