Cardiacs

A _psychedelic_ _punk_ band you probably have never heard about.

_Cardiacs_ were an English _rock_ band formed in 1977, originally as Cardiac Arrest, led by Tim Smith. Noted for their complex, varied and intense _compositional_ style and for their eccentric, theatrical stage shows, they have been hailed as an influence by bands as diverse as Blur, Faith No More and Napalm Death.

_Cardiacs_ released eight _studio_ albums plus a number of live albums, _compilation_ albums and _singles_ between 1980 and 2007, and are best known for the 1988 minor hit single "Is This the Life?" They are also noted for _attracting_ strongly _diverse_ responses: they remained one of Britain's leading cult rock bands during their four-decade-spanning career, but also attracted virulent critical attack (including a lengthy editorial ban from the British music magazine New Musical Express). Cardiacs were placed on indefinite hiatus following the 2008 hospitalisation of Tim Smith, after a cardiopulmonary arrest which subsequently led him to develop the rare neurological disorder _dystonia_. Smith continued to receive medical _treatment_ and _rehabilitation_, before his death in July 2020.

Cardio Culinary Resuscitation

After you've had an awful meal (typically one so bad that you regret your overall choice to have even eaten at that establishment) you don't feel any more satiated than when before you ate. To cure both your hunger AND your dismay/anger, you must go eat a meal that you know you will enjoy, to resuscitate yourself. This act is Cardio Culinary Resuscitation.
Shit those ribs were made out of cardboard. Guys, we need some Cardio Culinary Resuscitation to atone for what we've done.
