Nice to see Fish chipping in with a generous donation. Also I noticed a 14 year old Cardiacs nut from the States who found $50 from his own money to contribute. It's almost enough to make a chap start blubbing.
Why not......

Yeah, that would be incredible. I cannot imagine the logistics involved knowing the difficulty imparted on Timmy to communicate, unless it was co-written in conjunction with another author (a la Real FZ Book).
I made another order from the ABC about a month ago buying random things (more shirts, coffee mug, etc ) in hopes Tim would see that money. My wife even has a Little Man Tshirt now for around the house . Hopefully this drive will encourage some newbies to buy the complete catalog.
Next purchase: vinyl! (getting another TT soon).

Christ...almost 74% of the goal (itself already a stretched goal) in less than a week.
If you're actually reading this then chances are you already have my last album but if NOT and you're curious:

Also, Ephemeral Sun: it's a thing and we like making things that might be your thing: https://ephemeralsun.bandcamp.com
So glad to see all the attention being given to this, not to mention the outpouring of love from others in the music/media world. I hope Tim knows how important he is to so many people.
I think he does now.

What he said. You’re in for a treat with Guns. Some stone cold classics on there: ‘Wind and Rains Is Cold‘, ‘Song of a Dead Pest‘, ‘Sleep All Eyes Open‘ and the epic ‘Jitterbug‘ are all divine. The whole damn thing is terrific, really. Not a dud on there.
Regarding the live albums: The Special Garage Concerts and All that Glitters Is a Mare’s Nest are both essential. Speaking of the latter: Does that hooligan yelling “Cherish Your Butthole! Hallelujah!” prior to ‘I Hold My Love in My Arms’ sound familiar to anyone? Is this Mr. Torabi’s first appearance on a Cardiacs album or am I just hearing things?

That was not me in the crowd at Maresnest.
I had an invite to attend the show (as did everyone in the Yousletter family) and nearly did. I had just passed my driving test at the time and was going to borrow my Dad's car to drive to Salisbury but bottled it at the last minute due to lack of confidence behind the wheel.
On the video you can see both Jon Poole and Bob Leith on the audience.
The Yousletter family was, effectively, the Cardiacs fan club until the internet came along and ruined everything.
You received (or were meant to, sometimes they were quite slack) four Yousletters a year.
When you joined you got a lovely 'I am in it' badge and a collection of seeds to plant.

If any of you beautiful entities fancy a dalliance with some “BLACK PSYCHEDELIA” - as Tim described it - please consider putting some pennies towards this crooked take on the fragile experience we is all engaged in. Mixed by TIM SMITH and mikrokosmos in the Autumn of 1997…
IT IS.
ALL of your Gold Pennies will go direct to Tim”s crowd fund campaign to help put him wherever he needs to go/be in this here realm right now.
None more realz. None more lovez … Kidz with The Zedz

Looks like Cardiacs are more popular than ever. Fans in Brazil, Argentina, India and Japan? Very cool!
