The girl is perfect and heartbreaking. The performance is far from "inept" or "bad" by any measure. 82903@blogcritics.org Wed, 1 Sep 2004 17:23:30 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/09/01/001718.php#comment-82875 The Shaggs are still going, have a web site, and apparently a movie is being made about them.

I find most of the music unlistenable - a total classic 82843@blogcritics.org Wed, 1 Sep 2004 13:55:31 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/09/01/001718.php#comment-82841 Chusid's book is totally worth investigating if you're a music lover and you're interested in lookin 'outside'. i think that's how i got into Jandek (who is maybe the guy equivalent of the Shaggs) 82841@blogcritics.org Wed, 1 Sep 2004 13:33:43 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/09/01/001718.php#comment-82788 My parents actually have a Mrs. Miller record, which we put on occasionally for a laugh - a painful one.
