“She was a beefy young woman and, whatever piece of music she was playing, it was definitely losing.”
— Terry Pratchett

Cabinet of Curiosities Show 87 – Unexpected Guests and Surprising Support Acts

No one is more worried by the actual physical manifestation of a god than his priests; it’s like having the auditors in unexpectedly.”
— Terry Pratchett (Pyramids (Discworld, #7))

So there you are, minding your own business, making music when *boom* suddenly, as if by magic, Johnny Marr appears.

Nobody likes Johnny Marr sneaking up on them….
so we’ve managed to do an entire Unexpected Guests show without him – but there are plenty of others for you.
Including a Carrot Eating solo.
And some of the most bizarre live music pairings we could find!

Prepare to be surprised and amazed.*

Cabinet of Curiosities Show 86 – Horrible People

“Hell needed horribly bright, self-centered people like Eric.
They were much better at being nasty than demons could ever manage”
— Terry Pratchett (Eric (Discworld, #9; Rincewind #4))

Once upon a time, there was a thread on Twitter that asked….

Who are the worst people in the history of songs?

The act of being horrible – or being on the receiving end of horribleness – has produced an amazing amount of songs over the years.
We’ve picked a few for your delectation and delight –
and we’ve also picked a few classics and ask the question
“are they really as bad as you think they are?”

How do you know I’m mad?’ said Alice.
`You must be,’ said the Cat, `or you wouldn’t have come here.’

Here we go again, another listener takeover!

You have only yourselves to blame………
