IIRC, he wasn't drinking, just very, very tired after a long night at the studio.

Timmy, I believe had this old 60's 70s benz with bad brakes and he spun into a streetlamp from what I remember. I've heard that drugs were involved, but I don't know any better than to besmirch the memory of one of my favorites.


The day he died was the same day I found the last missing item from my completist brainiac vinyl collection. bung. sad sad sad.

The singing can be a little much at times.
Mainly when he does the Trent Reznor thing on tracks like "I Am A Cracked Machine".
Still NOT CRAP

I also heard it was faulty breaks, not drugs or alcohol.

When I first saw Brainiac, they were making Unwound wish they did not have to take the stage afterwards. Shit-hot, terriffic, oh yeah.

I think your flesh is separated from the sins it commits and that explains why you smile when you balance on your stack of regrets

I probably saw them five or six times. Just great. Big favorites.

In the version I heard, his accelerator somehow locked and he went out of control, unable to stop, into a wall or something.

It always sounded far-flung, but at least it wasn't a regular overdose story.

sticky accelerator on his car, Timmy rarely drank or did drugs from what I understand, I saw brainiac between 10-20 times (I lost track to the number) and would talk to him all the time, I don't remember him ever being anything but sober...
