		Tim Kasher: Da habe ich ehrlich gesagt gemischte Gefühle.
		Tim Kasher: Dass ein Songwriter nicht gleichzeitig an zwei verschiedenen, gleichwertigen Projekten arbeiten kann, ist ein Mythos, der sich hartnäckig hält. Für mich gibt es kein Seitenprojekt, denn was ich ich schreibe, bedeutet mir sehr viel.
		Tim Kasher: Ich habe das immer noch vor, aber umgesetzt habe ich das noch nicht.

	Music \| Organ failure (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		One day last summer, while driving through Utah to play a gig with his band Cursive, frontman Tim Kasher was hit with a sudden strong chest pain.
		By November, Kasher was back on stage playing sets with both of his bands, Cursive and the Good Life, at a CMJ showcase for Saddle Creek — the music label/collective, home also to Bright Eyes and the Faint, that’s scraped aside steak as Omaha’s juiciest mail-order product.
		Kasher even went so far as to annotate the music in the liner notes with cues and wardrobe descriptions — summoning sleigh bells, angry women, harlequins and, at one point, the ugly organist’s appearance as a butcher who turns on his creator — the singer — and tells him to cut all this dramatic shit.

	The Good Life (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is a project of Cursive frontman Tim Kasher.
		Kasher fronts the group and plays the part of the singer/songwriter.
		The original intent of The Good Life was to provide Tim Kasher with a vehicle to perform songs that didn't fit in with his long-running band Cursive.

	Tiny Mix Tapes: Cursive
		As evident throughout the album, Kasher is still exorcising the demons from his divorce that compelled him to write Domestica in 2000, one of the most emotionally-draining albums released within the last few years.
		Singer/guitarist Tim Kasher's voice is characterized by a tone so roughed-up that he seems to have difficulty annunciating at times.
		Tim Kasher's voice and lyrical abilities lend themselves to the subject matter, as does his recent divorce.

		But challenges were ahead of them, and their tour plans were halted when Tim's genetic lung problem returned, causing his left lung to collapsed, putting him in the hospital and off their tour schedule.
		Tim recovered nicely, and Cursive is back in the saddle again, currently on their 2003 U.S. tour and getting set to release their fourth full-length release, The Ugly Organ.
		Tim and Ted combined their lyrics for the booklet where they were laid out.

	The Good Life - Novena on a Nocturn (Better Looking)
		Joining Super XX Man and AM/FM is Tim Kasher of Cursive, and Novena on a Nocturn is the debut album of his solo project The Good Life, representing 12 years of songs Kasher wrote on the side, dolled up and re-recorded earlier this year.
		Kasher's voice, much like those two other guys, is consistently strained, and, while that may take away from its tonal qualities, it makes Kasher's words more charged and makes the songs' emotions seem more real.
		Kasher's lyrics read like poetic diary entries, forgoing choruses for a more direct means of conveying his feelings.

	The Cavalier Daily
		While a painful divorce fueled Cursive frontman Tim Kasher's bitterness on "Domestica," he suffered a collapsed lung that required major surgery a few months before "The Ugly Organ" was recorded.
		Although "The Ugly Organ" is the first full-length release to include Cohn on the cello, she is not new to the band as she was on last year's critically acclaimed "Burst and Bloom" EP and on a split record with the Japanese band Eastern Youth.
		Kasher, on the other hand, has never played organ before on any of their releases, but although the organ blends well into many of the songs, its intro track and segue do little but detract from the album's momentum.

		Tim Kasher, lead singer and guitarist for the rock band Cursive, has another band that many neophyte Cursive fans may be unfamiliar with called The Good Life.
		A highly talented songwriter, Tim takes the listener on a journey of a year in a relationship, a theme that rears its head in almost all of his compositions.
		Tim was about 14 when he picked up his first guitar and joined his first band, March Hares, with fellow Cursive member and bassist Matt Maginn.

	The Good Life provides just that - Entertainment
		Tim Kasher, far left, and his Saddle-Creek side project The Good Life performed a heartwarmng and aurally pleasing set Monday at Emo´s.
		Kasher's earnest lyrics come to life as he sings them painfully - his voice wailing a notch higher and a note longer than on the album-with a contorted expression of John Mayer proportions.
		A concept album (although Kasher refrains from using that term, since it's logical for him to write songs related to each other), "Album of the Year" spans the course of a year, with 12 tracks for the 12 months cataloguing a doomed relationship.

	A Semi-Charmed Life : conor oberst et tim kasher, part deux. t
		Tim sits in the front seat and both of them are laughing, and their cigarettes hang out open windows.
		Tim is looking over the shoulder of the seat at him when he turns back around, and Conor likes how fl Tim’s eyes are.
		Tim doesn’t shave as often as Justin, and his cheeks are always shadowed, and when he leans over Conor’s shoulder in the basement to correct Conor’s fingers around the neck of the guitar Conor was never supposed to touch, the coarse hairs rub against Conor’s own smooth skin like a cat’s tongue.

	Saddle Creek Reviews
		Kasher has always been his strongest when he writes his Cursive concept albums, a la The Ugly Organ and Domestica.
		Well, on the title track, Kasher sets up a trial scene comparable to the last song on Pink Floyd's definitive concept album The Wall: Kasher is "on trial" for allegedly cheating on his lover.
		All in all, this is a pretty good EP and probably well worth the 8 bucks you'll pay for it, but I've just come to expect so much from Tim Kasher after the last Cursive album and this EP just seems to pale in comparison to his past accomplishments.

	Splendid: Features: The Good Life
		Tim Kasher: I think compositionally it's a lot simpler, but Cursive works more toward all that drive, so that maybe the melodies don't stick out as much -- almost like they're not supposed to be there, it's not that idea.
		Tim Kasher: I think I'm not aware of how much keyboard we actually use, so it kind of gets into that whole lush Cure sound that I didn't really realize we were doing.
		Tim Kasher: This is just my pretension...I named it Novena on a Nocturn and I always hoped people would look it up, but it seems like they don't really care.

	Cursive - Burst And Bloom (Saddle Creek) - Drawer B Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Kasher’s tongue in cheek take on the self-proclaimed “marketing scheme” that is this EP swells with emotion, despite its sarcastic tone: “they’ve got a good fan base, they’ve got integrity/they’ve got a DC sound, Shudder To Think, Fugazi, and Chapel Hill around the early ‘90’s- this is the latest from Saddle Creek.”
		Kasher delivers his vocals in a half-spoken/half-sung tone reminiscent of Ian Mackaye’s mellower moments, perhaps, deliberately so, as Mackaye’s band is obviously name-dropped.
		Kasher sounds like he means what he says; there’s not a trace of contrivance in his emotional outbursts.

	Skyscraper Magazine
		Singer/guitarist Tim Kasher has developed a unique and literate style of songwriting that can easily be compared to the likes of Jarvis Cocker, strange as that might sound, entwining personal feelings with an introspective eye on himself and his own relationships, be they with a significant other, his record label, reviewers or a fan.
		The semi-autobiographical nature of Kasher’s songwriting was taken further on Domestica, as he recounted a conversation between two people living together and the eventual deterioration of their relationship.
		Closely tied into the release of Domestica was Kasher’s very public divorce; enclosed in the promotional release of Domestica was a letter explaining to reviewers that the album was a response to his own personal experience with the end of his marriage.

		Kasher knows that he can be full of crap, but a lot of it is our own goddamn fault.
		Kasher, as you can imagine, is astounded that his mess of an album has been selling well.
		And even though Kasher's band is now on the Plea for Peace tour, attempting to raise voter awareness, he says Cursive isn't a political act.

	Cursive - "The Difference Between Houses and Homes" - Album Review - The Red Alert
		Obviously, though, the focal point of Cursive is singer/guitarist Tim Kasher, and he, as usual, lays his strengths and weaknesses on the line unabashedly in this compilation.
		This is a portrait of the artist as a young, angsty man. The results are mixed, which is practically a given when dealing with retrospectives of this nature (not to mention the fact that even Cursive’s most recent and celebrated albums haven’t been without misfires).
		The extremely good news, though, is that the track listing gives repeated evidence that the band is becoming better with age, as the 1996 cuts almost all lag behind the ones from 1998 (an exception being the derivative but easily enjoyable emo-punk screed “Dispenser” that leads off the album).

	The Good Life: Album of the Year: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The strong, almost insolent saxophone returns you to Kasher's ability to wallow in sorrow without sinking under its weight, the redemption of the past through its seemingly insufferable passage.
		Here, Kasher again reminds one of his kinship with Algren, as the track would have fit perfectly alongside Elmer Bernstein's jazz score for the film adaptation of The Man with the Golden Arm.
		Kasher has turned his pissings and moanings into grand, translucent tales that typically avoid the isolation of self-indulgence (occasional slip-ups like the sugary bleating of the title track to this year's Lovers Need Lawyers EP only prove how adeptly most of the album is handled).

	Bettawreckonize -- Album Reviews
		It's this vulnerability that makes Tim Kasher's songs resonate in the minds of everyone who's ever wanted to speak up about their insecurities and hardships that propel us through each of our good lives.
		With Novena On A Nocturn, the Good Life's debut album, Tim Kasher left the door of his personal life open just a crack so that we may see and hear more than we should, and he set it against a soundtrack that still compels each of us to continue eavesdropping.
		While Tim Kasher may be best known for his work with Cursive, the Good Life is where Tim let's his personality best come through.

	The Good Life - Lovers Need Lawyers (Saddle Creek) - Drawer B Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Kasher feels he can’t quite express his “softer” side in Cursive (though, I’m not sure how much softer one can get than bearing one’s soul, but I guess he means the guitars).
		Kasher has never been one to shy away from revealing all the skeletons in his closet.
		Kasher is easily one of the most underrated songwriters still clawing his way out of emo’s malignant pit.

	The Good Life
		The Good Life is reportedly the product of 12 years worth of songwriting on the part of Cursive vocalist Tim Kasher, which should give you a pretty good indication of the project's intimacy, intensity, and scope.
		Apparently during those 12 years Kasher has endured a fair amount of pain, because there's an awful lot of it in his emotional songwriting and his laborious, unbeautiful, excruciatingly sincere voice.
		Kasher fleshed out these songs with the help of a large rotating cast of supporting musicians, but the warts and demons here are all his -- as is the often poignant sense of resignation and despair.

		Coupled with Cursive's six-string crunch, Kasher's wavering warble seemed to fit — both were susceptible to fits of anger and sadness that might disappear even before they really began.
		Kasher's side project, The Good Life, however, indulges his tortured emotings to the extreme.
		With a little variety this album could be a real monster, but Tim Kasher would rather establish himself as a modern-day Job.

		Explaining how it feels to be signed to Saddle Creek, Kasher explains, "It's a much different prestige than if Saddle Creek were to pick up some band in Portland and then they were excited they were on Saddle Creek.
		Beyond that, Kasher says, it’s all about practice and experience.

	Splendid E-zine reviews: The Good Life
		Cursive's Tim Kasher is no stranger to cold and loneliness, as anyone who's heard the last Cursive album can attest.
		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.
		But like so many writers and poets, Kasher knows the twists and turns of his words better than any reader, and from his mouth the lyrics ring true.

	NIPP: Artists: Cursive
		Simultaneously, Tim Kasher’s writing continued in an increasingly introspective and self-aware vein, often to the point of self-deprecation.
		Cursive formed in Omaha in 1995 when Tim Kasher, Matt Maginn and Steve Pedersen, who had been playing together for years in other bands, asked Clint Schnase to join them on drums.
		Tim decided that this was his opportunity to work on new projects and simultaneously moved to Portland.

	Splendid Magazine reviews The Good Life: Lovers Need Lawyers EP
		First, I hope he meets a good, patient woman in the very near future, before he snaps from the strain; in addition to this cynically-titled outing, Tim is responsible for Cursive's marriage-disintegration concept album, Domestica, so it's clear that he's due for a healthy relationship.
		Kasher's lyrics establish a strong narrative, and his singing actually suits the material, but there's a tug-of-war going on between the tune's chunky, Johnny Marr-like guitar and drum attack and the discordant notes that pull it off course.
		Kasher is still doing the same fluttery-voiced, low-rent Robert Smith vocal thing he did on The Good Life's debut, and while it worked there, it's a let-down here.
