The Shaggs - Philosophy of The World

While its existence is the result of, I’d say, a tragic story from the world of music, this album makes me want to become Respectable™.

I’m talkin’ respected academician, classic cars which fart global warming, needlessly large mansion with garish “high-class” post-Gothic nonsense, droves upon droves of pseudo-intellectual sycophants, a few published works which are worth more in their pedigree than their contents, the works!

Just so I can make everyone who’ll inevitably show up at my funeral to suck up some clout to listen to this masterpiece in its entirety, especially during the eulogy part. Yes, the doors are locked. No, the fire alarm doesn’t work. Yes, the whole thing was planned decades in advance in an establishment with few (if any) windows. No, we’re not doing “just the one song!” It is as inevitable as the heat-death of the Universe!

    The shaggs are amazing! Great outsider music before that was even a thing.
