No news is… mostly no news / AOTY 2CD in stock

Hey friends,

There’s not a whole lot of Good Life news to report. But hello anyway!

The Saddle Creek dudes found some copies of the Album of the Year 2CD version which includes a CD of Tim’s solo demos for the album, recorded in Roger’s basement. It had been out of print (or perhaps “out of print”) for a few years but a couple boxes semi-mysteriously arrived at the SC warehouse a few weeks ago. (For sale here if you’re interested.)

We’re all keeping busy working on other bands (and Cursive is on tour now), so there hasn’t been much activity at TGL HQ. However, we are working on a couple new songs which will hopefully see the light of day before the end of the year. How’s that for slow-moving excitement?

As always, thanks very much for your interest in and support of The Good Life.

hey guys, i just wanted to say you are amazing! the wonderful music you folks churn out, as well as just about everything from saddle creek, gets me through my days and keeps me company when i need it. =) anyway, i live in florida, and was bummed when i heard you guys weren’t coming for this tour. me and a friend of mine thought about skipping class and driving up to the georgia show, but it didn’t work out. we were happy when tim and cursive came to house of blues in orlando a while back; it was a great show! here’s to hoping for a florida show in the future! thanks again for being an amazing band and an amazing group of people.
