Who here has even heard The Shaggs?
I've got Philosophy of the World. I don't think I can listen to the whole thing without getting a headache. And they used to play dances every week for years. I wonder if they actually developed enough to play like normal musicians eventually. That would almost kind of suck to lose the ability to play in that unique way.

Frank Zappa said they were better than the Beatles.

2. Bahahahaha.
I used to live in apartment where people were getting crazy love. The worst was where someone left the window open though, not thin walls. And once I could hear something going on all the way across the hall.

Anyways, if anyone hasn't heard them they are...unique.

5. I was just listening to it...
...and I wasn't getting a headache! Probably wasn't feeling well the first time.
