My granddaughter, when she was a tiny thing, listened to As Cold as Can Be in an English Sea (the video shot in the shed) and was very excited by it. It was beautiful.
Love Kavus' 'Cardiacs Chime' at the start of 'Will Bleed Amen'... 👌 I've been a Cardiacs fan since 1992 through being blown away by Sea Nymphs. R.I.P. Tim you beautiful genius. NEVER forgotten. ❤
no one else has ever come close to the absolute genius of tim smith and jim. I count it one of the greatest pieces of fortune in my life that I got to see them all the time from 1984 until Tim fell ill. The greatest unsung hero of music. Loved and missed always x
Thoroughly enjoyed this while I was going about some domestic electrical installation work. Not quite sure what the customer will have made of it all in the next room but I care not a jot. Lovely.
*October 15th 2005* _Kavus Torabi_ Entry 1. Hi. Its late. Just got back from the BBC in Manchester. We all had to cram in this bloody I-don’t-know-what of a vehicle because the girls wouldn’t take us in theirs unless they all came with us and there just wasn’t room. Sharron had to come with us because she was singing on one of the tunes we were doing and kept on and on and on about her belonging to three different bands ALL THE WAY THERE. No one else said a word apart from Babba who whined and whimpered to himself all the way without ever stopping once it was horrible. When we got there it was obvious that Tim was shit scared because he bit through his lip and it was all bloody and THEN he went and spoilt it all by telling everyone he was scared ON AIR! He was horrible to me when we were setting up our gear in this tiny studio. He kept on pulling my wires out every time I plugged them in and I caught him tipping some water into the back of my Marshall amp. Something fucking beautiful happened though! We were playing that song “Stoneage Dinosaurs” and Tim who’d been fumbling around in his pockets for ages, brought out a little model he’d made out of matchsticks! It was of ME! I was playing the guitar solo bit and the model looked so much like me it distracted me at first but it was so wonderful that I showed my appreciation by playing the highest note my expensive guitar can reach and we all rejoiced! [34:20] It might have sounded odd but it captured the moment I think! Then we all sang in unison. It was a truly magical fantastic moment!
A missed gem.No commercialisation.Never mainstream ,never sold out.Their musicianship is absolutely brilliant.A big fuck you to all the homogenised synthetic shit that exudes from the likes of the ex-lax factor.
Tims so hilariously prickly on the radio. I almost understand why people feared them, not realising its an act part of the whole surrealist vision tim had for the band.

Jim is an unsung bass genius. They're all amazing, but his bass playing is phenomenal. RIP Tim.

A big fat shit to the universe for taking this man away. x

I can honestly say that this Cardiacs are the best band I've ever heard no one comes close.
No
One.
Yep.
Yep.
Yep.
Yep.
Yep.
"Tammy's nice with a cuppa tea and a..."
"Shut up, Jim!"
"...biscuit."
12:32 for the curious ones!
Greatest ever. Sir Kavus! Tim! Jim! Baba!
Tim's hilarious! gotta love his odd yet fun nature
Tim was very, very special. A one-of-a-kind human being.
Stoneage Dinosaurs is very beautiful.
A missed gem.No commercialisation.Never mainstream ,never sold out.Their musicianship is absolutely brilliant.A big fuck you to all the homogenised synthetic shit that exudes from the likes of the ex-lax factor.
Agreed. They are certainly something else, genius in the word's truest meaning.
HELL YES!!
Glad I found this little gem, first saw them 1985 at the Riverside club in fetcham, then at Reading rock festival summer 86
So lucky! Cheers
Stoneage Dinosaurs...WOW
ALWAYS WOW, no matter the lineup, setup, what have you... an absolutely beautiful beating of a song.
''Oh shut up Kavos..'' hahahaha cryin🤣
hope day at 16! a classic, I prefer there old stuff .who could write this at such an age.fukib luv em
Fantastic!
The best.
RIP Tim. The best.
I've listened to most of their records, but this session and the Radcliffe one from 1996 is absolutely stunning.
Kavus freaked out!
Holy… that list ❤

How would you define the surreal nature/concept of the band?
@@theboraxbandit9563 That is completely subjective
@@PrinceWesterburg That's fair. I would still love to hear others opinions. I'm new to the pond.
Amen
brilliant :-)))))))
What is this "The" of which the Boy Lard speaks?
Too late now but it's not The Cardiacs. It's just Cardiacs. Always has been, always will be. 🌻
thaaannnkkk yyoooouuuuu
Hope Day at 6:50 - one of my fave Cardiacs moments
This is brilliant academic classical music disguised as pop rock. There will never be a band like Cardiacs again
excellent as always. question for marc riley: what did mark e. smith think of cardiacs?
Hope Day sounds H U G E
That solo on Stone age Dinosaurs is 'interesting'? Never heard it played that way.
why can't all bands bow to the genius of cardiacs and move on ??????
Who the fuck are The Cardiacs? I think you mean Cardiacs. :)
You are a finnish dude
The breakdown to Hope Day doesn't sound like anything ever before or since
Frightened.
