They are truly awful - and with a name that could never have been used with a straight face in the UK at least. Do give the track highlighted a listen.

‘The most stunningly awful wonderful record’: how the Shaggs became rock’s most divisive band

Often completely out of tune and rarely in time, the group of sisters forced to play together by their father gained an army of fans from Frank Zappa to Kurt Cobain. A new documentary celebrates their cult status

You should give it a listen. It's weird, but it definitely has something (IMO). For instance this song, which is about their cat called Foot Foot, that went missing:

"Packed with perplexing beats and motifs, Philosophy of the World sounds as if the sisters are playing different songs all at once."

No, I haven't had a stroke. Today's #StupidAccordionTrick for #AprilFools is my take on #PhilosophyOfTheWorld by inadvertent outsider art legends #TheShaggs. Stay tuned for further stupidity in April, where I aim to be foolish all month long!

I don't watch a lot of sport but I'm not allergic to it and for some reason I've been watching like... all of the New Year 2024 sumo tournament from Japan

and it's really a not at all like any other sport I've watched much less any tournament or anything like that, partly because each bout is so short (and there are so many of them)

and i like the formality and traditionalism of all of it and the crowd wearing a mix of business clothing, traditional finery, and occasional casualwear, and...

...and is this woman wearing a The Shaggs T-shirt?

“Nobody And The Computer” is an incredible #YouTube channel. It is where good #AI happens. So do please let me know if this is the end of everything because soon we won’t be able to believe our eyes or ears, but for now let’s just enjoy when people are using AI to to make incredible things. In this example they generate the “AI Shaggs”. You’re already cool enough to know about #TheShaggs right? Great. Enjoy this https://youtu.be/orcvDjy3fvs?si=1Z8yp6icG4tZ_K7S cc.@REEL
