Love it. My awareness of The Shaggs comes from an Alarm Will Sound concert. Alarm Will Sound is an ensemble that performs contemporary "classical" music, and they're incredibly highly skilled and accomplished musicians. They arranged one of The Shaggs' songs for their ensemble, complete with the poor tuning--and complete lack of rhythmic unity of the original--and perform it at concerts.
As you might imagine, performing something out of rhythm and out of tune requires extremely good musicianship and ultra-tight focus by the performers. And Alarm Will Sound can pull it off. Here's a recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_NJNR3hvTk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_NJNR3hvTk
