What happens when Really Bad Musicians get together
Further to my post yesterday grouching about people trying to get into the music industry without knowing the first thing about music: I have today discovered the Shaggs.
They were absolutely brilliant.
Three sisters from a totally insignificant offshoot of Boston, who respectively could not sing, could not play the guitar (or even tune it), and could not play the drums. Forced into the recording industry by an obsessive father. Behold a sample lyric from the song "Things I wonder":
There are many things I wonder
There are many things I don't
It seems as though the things I wonder most
Are the things I never find out
If you can get hold of the song "My Pal Foot Foot" then you should. It is a thing of wonder.
