	Gathas - a Glance
		The choice is made by good thinking and the correct judgement, an act that helps one to dedicate his or her very life to God and thus work toward establishing the chosen dominion in which there would remain no oppression and thus none oppressed.
		A person choosing good will perform beneficial deeds and please God, but a person, fond of false gods, falters in his choice and once he indulges in thinking evil, he resorts to anger, a mood which brings destruction to people because anger is the source of all violence.
		This song is, in fact, an exposure of the fraud and aberration practiced by the priests and princes of the old cult.

	CD Review: The Good Life - "Album of the Year" - tpwwforums.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		This song has a decidedly "drunk" beat: quiet, brushed drums; offbeat guitar chords every so often; and up-and-down accordian, like you would expect to find in backing music if you were watching a TV show about an old Italian slum of a bar.
		I love the way the songs are structured on the CD, this song feels like the aftermath of 'Notes in his Pockets', like she doesn't have the strength to continue dealing with it.
		The song culminates in the girl declaring that she can't be his prisoner anymore.

	Ground Control Touring: The Good Life
		The Good Life started out as a means for Tim Kasher to use a songwriting approach that differed from his other projects (namely, Cursive), but it didn’t take long for the solo project to become a band, and for that band to finally come into its own.
		The Good Life’s sound has evolved from the refined, quiet pop of the first full-length, Novena on a Nocturn, to the moody hooks of 2002’s Black Out, to the sing-along anthems of divorce and disillusionment found on the recent Lovers Need Lawyers EP.
		Album of the Year brings all that is the sound of The Good Life to fruition — catchy, moody pop/rock that fluctuates between the all-ages club and the smoky cabaret, right alongside sing-along crescendos that spin into cinematic bursts.

	The Good Life: Lovers Need Lawyers - PopMatters Music Review
		The Good Life is now officially its own band, with a distinctive songwriter and sound.
		"For the Love of the Song" is the EP's last call, a six-minute epic on resignation that gradually moves from a folky strum to a sprawling anthem.
		Lovers Need Lawyers finds the Good Life distancing itself further from its trademark gloomy vibe with 20 minutes of stripped-down, acoustic-tinged rockers (the EP is described as a teaser for the band's new full-length, due out later this summer).

	Unstable, 22-Left, The Good Life, and II Deep - September @ Greencastle Indiana (JMcQ) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		After doing an original song that has vocals at a much too low level (while I know that they were supposed to be whispered out, it doesn’t have the same effect on me when I can’t hear it).
		Moving through another self-written song, which has an interesting function for the guitar as a timekeeper, The Good Life moves into their cover of “The Quiet Things that No One Ever Knows”, which is a completely other beast than their cover of “Cute Without the E”.
		In their Brand New cover, The Good Life cannot seem to connect with the hard guitar solos in the song, and the emotive force of Brand New’s vocalist cannot completely be captured in their version of the song.

	It's a Wonderful Life - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It's a Wonderful Life is a 1946 Frank Capra film, produced by his own Liberty Films, and released originally by RKO Radio Pictures.
		Feeling his life insurance policy in his coat pocket, George interprets this sock in the face as God's answer to a man in need, and, sick with the world, is now on the verge of suicide.
		He is finally aware of how one life affects the world so greatly, and pleads the lord to restore his existence and make the world as it was.

		Once upon a time, a fairly new band named The Good Life swept the indie scene with a burst of music that was a deadly concoction mixed of sorrow, love, and three parts vodka.
		The Good Life's latest album Album of the Year must be the most appropriate name sharing intimate stories between the narrator and a lost love.
		Adding out of tune chords from the piano, The Good Life demonstrates an act of adultery which is overlooked sometimes in relationships...

		He could see a primary gray cat clinging for dear life to a tree limb, and the ground was dropping away.

		And at that time, I would say that 'this was going to be a Cursive song' or 'this was going to be a Good Life song' but now I write in seasons so it's not really quite as relevant.
		I think it's just good exploration and by studying the act of doing what I do, this sort of awkward career you can bring the listener closer to understanding it and you're also able to bring the listener and writer to the same level.
		The songs on the EP were actually written before The Ugly Organ and so for the love of the song I put those last songs on the EP and that's it.

	Crutch Music Review: The Good Life - Lovers Need Lawyers
		The first Good Life LP, Novena on a Nocturn, was a birdhouse indeed, a shimmering net that trapped up bits of song that must have shaken loose during the songwriting process for Cursive.
		With the Lovers Need Lawyers EP, which is a preview for the third Good Life LP (due out in August), it seems the transition is complete: The Good Life is a band in its own right, no longer a miniaturized extension of Cursive, but a mansion of song.
		And highlight “Friction!” is by far the heaviest song The Good Life has produced, a startling blast of punk rock amid all the pseudo-stadium rock anthems.

	The Good Life: Lovers Need Lawyers EP: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The first Good Life album, Novena on a Nocturn, was a prototypical side project-- a record of fluttery boudoir ephemera; remnants scraped from the mental sieve that caught whatever grains of song wouldn't sift into Cursive's oeuvre.
		But even then, The Good Life was more than Cursive's rough drafts, with an emphasis on starry ballads and minimal electronic embellishments.
		Lovers Need Lawyers, a teaser EP for the new Good Life full-length due out in August, is ballasted by both of Kasher's constant themes-- the inevitable failure of romantic relationships and the futility of art.

	LA Weekly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Good Life scene’s influence on today’s underground hip-hop culture is significant because of its strict credo that battling MCs had to be capable of improvising lyrics on the spot.
		Says Cross, “The success of the Good Life was a reaction to the more cartoonish Delicious Vinyl pop-radio hits of the day at the one extreme and the gangsta-thug shit at the other, with dope money and radio payola always lurking in the background.
		The Good Life was the first self-consciously indie-thinking movement in hip-hop driven by a passionate commitment to lose all this garbage.

	The Good Life: Album of the Year: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Whereas Cursive has made a career of pleading for catharsis through bruised, over-the-top emoting, The Good Life has always detailed Kasher's lonely nights; he formed the group for the material that would have sounded too sleepy alongside most of Cursive's ranting and raving.
		The songs are instantly welcoming, flickering with enough hope and tenacity to outlast Kasher's heartbreak.
		By the time "Inmates" ends with Lee's pronouncement that "she can"t be your prisoner," the song seems to have packed an entire relationship's worth of tempo shifts and transgressions into its 9-plus minutes without ever sounding bloated.

	themusicedge.com :: The Good Life: Tim Kasher (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Originally started as an alternative outlet for Tim’s prolific songwriting, The Good Life has come into its own as one of the great bands that, while maintaining Tim’s vocal style and honest lyrics, separates itself nicely and equally apart from his other project.
		The difference is that I think I have a tendency to write more Good Life songs because I have a more relaxed approach to writing for that band, just more for the joy of playing guitar and humming along to it and writing lyrics.
		Those songs get translated so differently when it gets to the band, so sometimes when I bring something that I think is okay, it gets translated by the band and it sounds great.

	SoundStage! Rodney Hayden - Living the Good Life
		Rodney Hayden’s second album, Living the Good Life, spotlights a young country music performer with a fine singing voice and some songwriting ability that he would do well to develop as his vision of humanity and his values mature.
		"I’m living the good life I’m happy to say / Watching the sun sink low and my cares fade away / I got a woman who loves me, oh and she’s gonna stay / I’m living the good life everyday (sic)." That is the refrain, which opens the song.
		Hayden is apparently unaware of the implications of stating that contentment can be defined by material possessions and the means of acquiring them, having no worries, thinking of a woman and a dog as possessions, and having a place to injure and kill fish.

		Known for their sure-fire hip-hop styled Gospel songs and beautiful ballads, Wilson (see interview) and crew don't stray away, but also bring more worship songs and a little dancehall heat to their repertoire.
		There is much proclamation on The Good Life, evident on the uptempo "Free" and the dancehall-tinged, "Conquerors".
		The original girl director addresses this song to musicians, Gospel artists and ministers of music, urging them to stop and realize that there is no hatred or jealousy in Christ.

	Splendid E-zine reviews: The Good Life
		Before I ever listened to the Good Life, I was drawn in by the disc's cover art.
		These are the songs Kasher wrote "on the side" over the course of more than a decade, songs that didn't fit the Cursive formula.
		Every song reflects his anguish, his alienation and his inability to connect with others.

		On Life Is Good, Cronin's name appears as a co-writer of every song; again, allusions from "Jack and Diane" to early-'90s rappers Black Sheep fill the likes of "28 Days" (both in that song, in fact).
		Although their concepts for the songs are somewhat unoriginal (With the exception of Life Is Good), the quirky words and their appealing Boston accents more than make up for it.
		With Life Is Good they may have not appeal to their average audience but actually can match their other musical peers on ADULT radio.

	Better Looking Records - Bands (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Essentially a solo project for Cursive's Tim Kasher, albeit with plenty of instrumental help from a variety of friends, the debut album from the Good Life is the culmination of 12 years of songwriting outside his full-time gig.
		In addition to their '80s forebears, the songs explore the timeless songcraft and painfully honest life-lessons of artists such as Jacques Brel, Kurt Weill, and Scott Walker.
		Kasher's songs are inconsolable prayers of lament and resignation, intimate and almost painfully introspective without exactly being overtly insular.

		The last song of the evening had been played and those who came to see the show were dispersing.
		The four members of The Good Life bring to the stage sounds that replicate and enhance that which you might find in their recordings.
		Those songs that speak of love without having within their lives an ache or sigh are not love songs at all but rather they are hate songs disguised as love songs and they are not to be trusted.”

		To make sure, after all this trouble, that we didn't go home empty-handed, they would tell us the answers to the first two questions, but for the third question, where we could double our money from $250 to $500, we were on our own.

	The Good Life: Album Of The Year (2004): Reviews
		The Good Life is a side project for Cursive's Tim Kasher, and this third full-length release (following the 'Lovers Need Lawyers' EP) finds him joined by Stefanie Drootin, Ryan Fox and Roger Lewis.
		Like most good thematic albums, or films or books, for that matter, it's hard to put the pieces together on Album Of The Year, and just when you think you've got the narrative unraveled, you'll rediscover another lost passage or double entendre.
		The attention to detail in the production, the punchy melodies, and the sympathetic performances by the group -- along with Kasher's writing that is nothing less than gripping and often head-shakingly brilliant -- make this record an indispensable artifact for anyone who likes indie rock with a real emotional punch.
