Last weekend, I watched a Cardiacs gig from 1988 on the internet. It was a great blast from the past, and I definitely recognised a few people in the chat.
Today I pre-ordered LSD, their new album. I never thought this record would be finished, but it’s out in a few weeks, and as there is a new singer I suppose it’s possible that this line up could even tour if they wanted to. I think they are still the band I have seen live the most anyway, but it would be good to get the opportunity again.
This band are so important to me, and I really thought the story was over when Tim died. But I love the new single and have high hopes for the album as well.
I also bought the reissue of On Land and in the Sea this week, and it was great to get post that had a very familiar flower on a sticker on the front. Next time this happens it will be something new, which hasn’t happened for a long time.
