Just seen Tim Smith (Cardiacs) has died.
Though not my kind of thing I thought they were very clever and talented.
RIP.

Could easily see their influence on Blur.

Re: Tim Smith
I remember watching a Cardiacs gig (or rehearsal or something) online in what looked like a basement years ago and it was brutal. The musicianship on it was crazy

Re: Tim Smith
Absolutely loved their ‘Tarred and Feathered’ single which I bought when it came out what seems like a lifetime ago. I thought it was a mind blowing piece of crazy art and the musicianship was incredible. Sadly I never went onto discover anymore of their music.
RIP.
