"Birdbrain" is the second album by Buffalo Tom, released in 1990. Dinosaur Jr mastermind J Mascis once again assisted with production, alongside Sean Slade. Buffalo Tom singer/guitarist Bill Janovitz said that Mascis' influence probably accented the band's edgier side. [ [http://cwas.hinah.com/interview/?id=74 Interview: Bill Janovitz by Mark Walton ] ]

The CD version includes a cover of The Psychedelic Furs' "Heaven" as well as a live acoustic version of "Reason Why", a song from Buffalo Tom's self-titled debut album.
