Episode 232: Cardiacs

This week we're discussing every album by the completely insane Cardiacs. If you aren't familiar with this band, then you're going to need to take a seat and prepare yourself. Led by the late Tim Smith and his brother Jim, Cardiacs are a prog band like no other in existence. You just have to hear them. Their final album, LSD, was just released after almost 20 years of painstaking writing, recording, and devastating health problems. This is one of our most requested bands and one that will stay with us for years to come.   Intro/Band Overview 00:00 The Seaside 20:57 Songs for Ships and Irons 36:57 A Little Man and a House and the Whole World Window 48:13 On Land and in the Sea 1:01:39 Heaven Born and Ever Bright 1:17:53 Sing to God 1:32:58 Guns 1:58:18 Tim Smith's Health Battles 2:10:36 LSD 2:18:08 Outro 2:39:59   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Patreon https://www.patreon.com/everyalbumever   Merch https://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/   Mike's EP: Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,   Mike on Instagram @pandermonkey Alex on Bluesky @octatron3030 Tom on Instagram @tomosmansounds   History Tom's stuff: Music on Spotify, Apple Podcast on Spotify, YouTube Substack Website   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Mike's Picks: Sing to God (1996) -- Best Album A Little Man and a House and the Whole World Window (1988) -- Personal Favorite On Land and in the Sea (1989) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Alex's Picks: LSD (2025) -- Best Album A Little Man and a House and the Whole World Window (1988) -- Personal Favorite Guns (1999) -- Worst Album, Least Favorite   Albums we discussed this episode...
