Fully Unauthorised And Unasked For Tim Smith Reminiscimontage (RIP)

[@dave822]

Tim, if you came from a place beyond our current comprehension and tried to blend in so as not to scare us, you nearly pulled it off.

[@stephenlynchprivate2137]

I like your words of choice I've been a fan since 1986

[@littlejohnnyturtle8770]

Blimey! I didn't want that to end. Thank you for putting that together and posting it. When I first discovered Cardiacs, it was like digging randomly and suddenly finding a treasure chest and I would suggest that the same thing happens to more and more music lovers every day. This man will definitely not ever be forgotten.

"Love... can't be put away" Tim Smith RIP

[@chrisirregardless]

Probably the best out of all of the tributes that have come out this week at showcasing Tim's extraordinary charisma. Thanks.

[@gardenofeels6872]

Charisma? I would call it anger and discontentment.

[@chrisirregardless]

@@gardenofeels6872 They're not incompatible.

[@gardenofeels6872]

@@chrisirregardless That's a good point, and it gives me hope for myself.

[@chrisirregardless]

@@gardenofeels6872 Anger and discontentment are pretty much a major part of my personality, too.

[@gardenofeels6872]

@@chrisirregardless Well then, hats off to the angry and discontent people of the world. Those two qualities can be okay in certain situations, but it's best no to let them rule us. I did at one point, and it wasn't pretty. Now they're just a part-time gig.

[@richardelliott47]

Thanks for making this. My only criticism is that it is much too short...I was at the Maresnest and Falcon gigs and remember Jon nailing that Stoneage solo very well, although it’s the first time I have seen the footage.

[@KenPurchase]

Thanks, I agree it should definitely be longer, a short one was all I felt up to doing at the time! I'll probably go back and revisit at some point.

[@armyofmoths]

Missed and thought of, each and every day. A beautiful man.

[@juliehelliwell4423]

What a fabulous tribute...to a wonderful man.

[@davidwilliams2180]

we will miss him , thanks for a great tribute . DONT DO THAT !

[@JohnShadeLIVES]

Tim Smith is my hero, Cardiacs my favorite band, and this video is such a treat (like a sweet) for my eyes, ears, body and soul. Thank you everso much for your diligence. ❤

[@user-ms8km7lh1l]

thank you. this is also a great reference for people starting to dive into cardiacs - i hadn't seen any tim interviews other than maresnest before now and now i have a starting point to look out for. and the only things i've seen from rotten shed are the song bits abcglobus posted, but now i know i need to watch the whole thing.

[@user-ms8km7lh1l]

hiding some projection in the reply - one of the reasons i was so drawn to cardiacs was because i watched their seaside videos first, and tim's way of dancing to the music and his mannerisms really resonated with me as an autistic person who is really affected by music and might choose to 'dance' in unconventional ways (eg shaking his hands energetically to the drum bits and opening his mouth to the guitar notes in To Go Off, both of which I do sometimes). his ~idiosyncratic ways only add to that, i guess (although non-autistics *are* allowed to be quirky too, we passed legislation on it in 2006). anyways, my self-reflection is somewhat blurred by hyperfocus but it just feels really good to see even a tiny part of a tiny part of me killing it on screen and in my ears, being a talented hilarious genius and doing it with style.

@@user-ms8km7lh1l You're not alone.

[@unknown6390]

@@user-ms8km7lh1l That's very sweet to read, Jillian, as another neuro-divergent musician and aspiring composer. I see a lot of myself in Tim as well, but of course our talents can not be compared, lol. His genius and quirk speaks to so many different people and I'm glad to not feel so alone when reading what you've said.

[@paultashby]

NIce tributey work, thanks for sharing

[@chriso5040]

Been thinking a lot about Timmy today thanks for this

[@fcamiola]

This is amazing! Brilliant work. Tim was the best.

[@trollfinger]

I only found out about Cardiacs after Tim had died. What a great legacy he left behind and seemingly adoring fans and friends. Amazing man and an amazing group.

[@ian_b]

I just found out Tim died. Stoneage Dinosaurs is a perfect choice. I'm crying.

[@nuuk-uy9sk]

the pantheon bless the memory of this absolute beautiful weirdo. miss you tim smith and also tim quy.

[@Hazamelis2]

Wait! Where did you get that last interview? Is it in the Rotten Shed DVD? I think that's like the most recent footage you can see Tim speaking and I would love to see it in full.

[@KenPurchase]

That's my favourite clip! It is indeed from one of the interview bits in the Rotten Shed. I think Tim's warmth and charm really come through in that little moment, and it makes me do a big Cheshire Cat grin every time.

[@VultureClone]

Beautiful. He was a real character XD

[@randomcat4711]

Love this 🌼🤟 fuck..... offf!
