The Good Life Album of the Year live

[johnes]

Is that Drake Bell?

[gutstotake]

Saw em at Solar Culture back in 05 in Tucson, AZ. Still trying to find a recording of one of the songs they played, hard to find.

[MayorsOffice881]

I saw Tim Kasher open up for Minus the Bear last year and I don't remember if he was supporting his solo album or just with The Good Life, either way, I fell in love right away. I had never heard of him (even though I knew about Saddle Creek and Bright Eyes), and I had front row. I'll never forget it. He's great.

[desperatelytragic]

one of the greatest lyricist at his greatest. album of the year is the soundtrack of fall and the drunken romantics

[ConeyIslandLow]

handjobs.

[bigandy488]

if you haven't ever noticed in almost all of Tim Kasher's songs the climax of the song is also the noisiest (musically)

[WhateverWereClever]

ha...awesome

[ehayford]

i've been buying every saddle creek record for almost ten years, and i think why conor gets more national attention than kasher is because conor has a much more mainstream-friendly sound lately. a lot of cursive's music uses a lot of harsh sounds and discord, which is hard to digest for a lot of people. and conor's early work utilized similar techniques, but once he became the front man for the americana/folk revival he sort of went away from the cacophony approach to songwriting.

[ChanelAReed]

so good. soo good. this is so good.

[G0D666]

wait, why isn't nicole in this video?

[123ganjasmoker]

suck my dick ppeace gruß aus deutschland,) ihr opfas

[aheffelf]

hahaha love the lyric change...

"Serving hand jobs to the local drunks"

[cubiche88]

@aheffelf he did say that right? lol i thought i was crazy

[LaShnike]

My uncle got Tim Kasher a job at Spaghetti Works back in the early 90's when he was just 19. Apparently, 2 hours into the job, Tim freaked out and quit on the spot.

He is way better at music I guess. I love Cursive and the Good Life!!!

[G0D666]

did a good conor oberst at 2:34

[futoncat]

It's more like a saddle creek thing entirely, but i can see what you mean haha

[maxamellion]

he's an influence to conor so its no wonder

[fckyrscn]

@maxamellion he's not exactly an influence to conor, they are good friends and grew up together.

[smushface999]

@fckyrscn He is most definitely an influence on Conor. His first band is the reason the rest of the guys even started playing music,

[goddamncaveman]

Holy shit Kasher must get so much pussy.

[kar1iscool]

I love this song but for some reason I can't get into this album too much...

[frankenation]

Black Out was mostly better but Album of the Year has some priceless gems

[JryanAin]

i like how he changed cocktails to handjobs

[Kevinboil]

One of my favorite live performances.

[frankenation]

This just may be TIm Kasher at his peak

[MusicDood777]

wow..i just may agree with you.

[frankenation]

Nope... Saw Cursive live last week, definitely best performance ever

[narutothedobe]

i like the slowdown virgina sticker he still has on his guitar

[rancor6969]

tim kinda looks like eliot smith here i think

[narutothedobe]

1. its eLLioTT smith. two t's and two L's

2. no he doesnt. not even close

[rancor6969]

yea i dont really care how you spell his name but he still does look like him

[cmallon135]

who gives a shit. they're both awesome.

it irks me when people wait for others to make mistakes so they can just correct them and be right

[Munkilometer]

@cmallon135

Trust me, there's never really a wait when it comes to people messing up on the internet.

[cmallon135]

@Munkilometer too right you are, though I don't understand how a person can feel justified in arguing with someone they'll never meet in their lives even if somehow they end up in the same lineup at the grocery store.

[loobleasle]

1. he spelled his name wrong on his suicide note, so fuck off

2. yes he does

[narutothedobe]

well considering i don't believe he killed himself that argument is invalid

[MiniMiya]

Wow Tim looks so different without a beard. I personally dig it a lot more. A lot more clean cut is better. Gives him a more boyish look.

[narutothedobe]

also i love when he goes HAHAHA after the laughing till it didnt hurt part. it made the song

[narutothedobe]

i like both conor and tim but tim has something about him that draws me in more

[bridgetyourbud]

hahah "she got a job at jacobs serving handjobs to the local drunks"

[rancor6969]

haha srry jus realized connor oberst and bright eyes are one in the same

[narutothedobe]

not really

conor oberst is a person. bright eyes is a mixture of conor and mike and this other guy plus whoever they need for the other parts. like the drummers they had in lifted

[ghcatch]

This isn't tim kasher singing?

[Vin2241]

Its Tim Kasher.

[bremex]

My ex-boyfriends favourite band.

[InLoveWithTheMoon88]

I love Bright Eyes, don't get me wrong...but why is Oberst getting more attention than Tim Kasher? It makes no sense to me... In my personal opinion, Tim's songwriting is far superior and his voice is quite lovely.

[rancor6969]

yea i used to really like be cept i cannot stand them now specially connor oberst

[Jakeistoocool143]

@InLoveWithTheMoon88 Disclaimer: Tim Kasher is my favorite musical artist bar none... Now that has been said, self-deprecation only has such a large market.

[ericjames810]

"she got a job at the local bar giving handjobs to the local drunks" lmao. I love how he switched it up seeings how the song is about a failed relationship.

[AvantTrash]

I just hung out with Tim a week ago...pretty sure he's not dead.

[justinwwwalin]

lol. 1+ to that. hes gonna be in omaha the 23rd and 24th. hes def still around

[davidpwnsnoobs]

tim kasher is not dead, why does everybody seem to think so?

this song is great, the whole album is great.

[kmd843]

tim

your music means so much to me. I miss you so much but I know you're in a better place. Rest in peace buddy

[cool1hand9luke]

tims not dead

your a moron

[GroinMeetsFoot]

I love this song. And whoever said Tim's dead is a fibber.

[cheesynips]

I don't think it's that, i know that at least the drummer is in neva dinova, idk about the other members but i'm betting they're in other bands too. It seems as though there's the possibility one day for a tour (maybe even sometime relatively soon) from the new album, but there's probably as much of a chance of that happening as the desaparecidos getting back together.

[RE1206]

I'd love to see a new desaparecidos, but I think we're out of luck on that, too. It's too sad that these guys' side projects never stick around. I think the guy in this video playing bass is actually the bassist from cursive, the drummer and guitarist are the usual crew for The Goodlife, but I just realized who the bassist is.

[narutothedobe]

tim says he doesnt consider this a side project. same with cursive. they are both bands that he is trying to give equal atention to

[cheesynips]

Well, being the good life fan i am, i don't know how i haven't seen this until now, no matter, 5 stars, tim kashers alive and well and i love them with every inch of my being.

And p.s. Tim looks best with a moustache - he touched me during a concert and i didn't realize completely that was him because of that effing thing - CO springs indie concerts FTW! (of course that was for cursive, i swear i must see the good life in concert before i die)

[RE1206]

I don't know, I think you may be out of luck... their website hasn't been updated in a year and there's no news about them... I think Kasher simply cares more about cursive.

[justinwwwalin]

the good life is gonna be back. he said hes taking a break so he can make the new cursive cd. have u heard help wanted nights?

[rancor6969]

i hope the new cursive is nothing like happy hollow

[justinwwwalin]

why not?

[stragglerbird]

if you like this you might like our stuff, check it ouut! "straggler bird"

[rccar]

what? He's not dead.

[newata]

RIP Tim Kasher <3

[silverfuck]

Fuck, I hate VIVA.

Awesong song, though.

[justinwwwalin]

wheres stephanie?

[gibsonsg6987]

yeah.....most amazing live performance ive ever seen

[horrorwitheyeballs17]

Wooo for saying hand jobs on television. German music channel, eh? I guess a large part of their audience wouldn't understand english anyways.

[MissTeenSouthSeyde]

%(

even i understood this when i saw it and i was about 15 then.

you can say whatever you want on german television.

[ahuebner]

What happened to Stephanie? That dude that is replacing her is one of the members of Consafos but i never heard about her leaving. Maybe she had something else come up...

[RawFitTeeSt]

"Hey Tim I heard your album and it's better than good"

[TatiAnaMercedes]

I always wondered who conor meant :]

[myjuppiter]

best. this is the best. ever.

[joshallyn28]

Anyone know what show they're performing on in this clip?

[LivingInUrLetters]

yeah, it's from the german tv-show 'Sarah Kutner, Die Show' on the german music channel 'Viva'. It's no longer being aired and i believe this has to be one of the best all time performances on tv. Such a great video and song!

[tfstones]

their sooo much like bright eyes especially the lead gutiarest

[SKExies]

wtf? is that sarcasm?

[emergencyemergency]

best be, oh it best be

[Jakeistoocool143]

Please leave...

[steve1287]

im pretty sure tim and conor grew up together played shows together in Omaha, idk i might be wrong but i do know that conor started a side project that sounded kinda like cursive called Desaparecidos.

[KyleLM18]

You are absolutely right. They grew up together. They started Saddle Creek together. They also guest appear on each others albums. Although they are similar, they are also completely different....

[mwebster2009]

and they started commander venus together.

[Floydthefuckbag]

actually Tim joined after Commander was already started. Conor and Tim are the greatest.

[rccar]

i love you for putting this up...

[Markzuckerberg]

Is that Marky Mark?

[Jakeistoocool143]

hahaha. you've got questions don't you?

[Markzuckerberg]

Is that Elliott Smith?

[Jakeistoocool143]

Hahaha. Nope. Tim Kasher.

[Floydthefuckbag]

I was just thinking that this clean cut Tim kinda looks like Elliott. I think Tim looks better with a beard.

[AlvinRow11593]

definatly

[Teleman4321]

Tim is so cool

[Piratesebastian]

wow this gave me chills :)

[0815Bla]

"HAHAHA!" :)

[rivalfools]

Also, he always changes lyrics, after they songs come out and live.

[rivalfools]

Weird. The actual bass player is Stephanie Drootin, I don't know who that guy is. (He looks like David Bazan)

[tiktokz1]

the bass player looks a hellave alot like the man from iron and wine

[ebrade20]

this is amazing

[alsatiancousin1]

I saw these guys play in malmö last night and it was a good show

[kimmymac444]

he kind of looks like elliott smith

it's kindof freaking me out

[baalyezidi]

yeah.. well i downloaded from you tube onto my comp then i put it in my ipod..

[baalyezidi]

ive had this video on my ipod for a while now... i listen to fucking grind.. yet i cant get enough of tim's lyrics.. and music... the new album is the SHIT..... each album is fucking brilliant...

[lmorgent]

you had this specific video on your ipod?

[VanMulk666]

this is a great video- one of my all-time favorite good life songs. i like how tim looks without facial hair too , like younger or something. i like the tele sound for the intro as well and the slightly slower tempo. groovy.

[richmond182]

it is originally " serving cocktails" However "Handjobs" is just how he currently feels about the issue, Post-Production.

[TeresisPieces]

serving handjobs to the locl drunks? what happened to cocktails?

[Karikau]

Good question...that's what I thought it was, lol.

[GenericMan]

Definitely a reference to his suspicions about her cheating on him.

[jennahubbard]

I love this song.

[DermochelysCoriacea]

When was this?

[Floydthefuckbag]

"feb 2005 " says the description

[ehayford]

where's stef drootin?

[PostUup]

oh hell yeah!

[ScrumptiousCreature]

i lobe the good life! does anyone know "inmates"??

[ayellowsong]

I love Inmates :]]

[ScrumptiousCreature]

yeah it's great, isn't it...

[Floydthefuckbag]

Pretty much my favorite song ever.

[tivezaj]

anyone know the chord progression? i know there is a Dm, G, C... and a D7??????????

[monizuka]

Am for the intro

then..

Dm, G9, C, G7

[Karlifornication]

It's actually Am7 for the intro

then Dm, G, C, G7, Am7

[musicfan99999]

that was great.  the guys in the good life are very talented.

[naturalissue]

Wow, first time ive ever heard this song. Im gonna play it twice.

[uglyxorgan]

Tim Kasher <33

[FemmeFatalee]

I'll write the album of the year.

[cool1hand9luke]

i seems like i can feel all the emotion tims delivering i this in my own body

[cool1hand9luke]

love this video cant stop listening to it

[cool1hand9luke]

amazing video cant stop listening to it

[nirvanagurl1600]

i love the good life!my this is my second fav song by them, my first is Night and Day.

[OMGZALLAMA]

I love it. ^.^

Just a bit to slow in the beginning.

A few words are changed - but.. I think it's better than the normal on-CD one. o:

-Favorited-

[soowt]

god, this song is 10 times sadder with the word "handjobs" in it.

[ayellowsong]

My favorite song ever.

I love it when he sings,

"The way she bites my lower lip" etc etc

:]

[Mexicat]

so good. need to see them live.

[thexrecluse]

Haha, I like how he changed the line from "alright" to "awesome" after "So she kissed me on the mouth".

[danielkills]

handjobs, ha.

[xKashy]

Wow...Awesome...One of my favorite songs ever, even though i also think it would've sounded better with an acoustic, nevertheless it is great.

Thanks for the vid. xD

[bassick55]

awesome, but i wish he was playing an acoustic like when i saw them live and like on the cd

[xvcursivevx]

what the? handjobs? haha. awesome to see some good live footage of these guys.
