Philosophy of the Shaggs
I was on a music blog kick and decided to do the shallow thing and explore bands based on their names. I came across this 60s all girl band The Shaggs cause well, c’mon now – a pretty awesome name for a band I’d say.
I downloaded their Philosophy of the World album. I can’t decide whether to laugh, admire or just enjoy it. The lyrics are so simple and …laughable. Everyone’s doing their own thing when it comes to the instruments. Think lo-fi “jazz”. It’s actually quite charming. Charming in the way you find “special” people. Charming and special like these kids: http://kidsofwidneyhigh.com
