Barmy FiveSeveN presents "Pod, My My Look My Pod" by Tim Smith 

Early 1980s, Tim S had a whole load of music written out which didn't really fit the Cardiacs genre - but NEEDED to be played. A side project was formed - Tim, Dom and me, plus Sarah on occasion - to rehearse & record some of these. We were probably called The Cardiacettes, most of the side projects were. Six Piffol tunes, and a few more including this. And another tune which ended up in the Cardiacs set, bet you can't work out which song: first time it was played live I was stand-in bass player just for this song, as Jim hadn't learnt it yet.

I dearly hope someday that Barmy FiveSeveN will record an entire album of music by Tim Smith like this piece...music that Tim wrote out as staff notation but never recorded himself.

Incredible, can't believe this was never recorded before?? I didn't know Tim notated everything back then already.

Man. Why have I not heard this before?! Its almost Zappaesque in how some of the time changes work, but its got a very Tim Smith tonality going on. Wild.

I find this on Christmas eve. And I didn't think Santa brought presents for us grownups! Smashing,well done pondlings.

Marvelous! Better than the music of the Tom & Jerry cartoons that Tim Smith told me he loved so much!!!

what a beautiful noise so wonderfully performed!!!!

Great stuff. It was fab seeing it streamed, but lovely to see and hear it properly rendered. Well done everyone.

Truly fabulous!! Gives me faith in humanity.🐂💨💨

I'm now dreaming of a piffol series cover!

Superb!

Incredible

3 years later. Still one of the best piece of music I've ever heard in my life. R.I.P. Tim Smith.

Really amazing!!

incredible.

I'd guess this was conceived at the same time as ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PAdWGylEODo.html&ab_channel=AccretionSecretions Similar Zappa-esque vibe. I can vaguely remember Pod, but don't think it was ever played at the time.

Was Tim ever for mentioning Zappa or Edgar Varesse as influences...

Wow...

where's the transcription?

Is this available/going to be available to buy?

Anyway to see the full stream?

Még mindig nem térek magamhoz... Egy, hogy lehet ilyet írni? Kettő, le a kalappal az egész zenekarnak, hogy tűpontosan végig lett játszva. A mai napig hiányzik Tim, és fog is...
