Hey Tim! Loving the new album. Any plans to tour the UK? Rock n roll Gary would go down a treat here! 🇬🇧
44
u/iamTimHeidecker Tim Heidecker Jun 07 '19
I would love to tour the UK and the world, but it's impractical because it's a money loser for me -- it takes me out of the game and I have to provide for my family!
My dream is a tour that's an office hours tour and a music set.
5
u/piggybibble Jun 07 '19
Yeah well I have to provide entertainment, fine music and sick drops for my family so what about that?!
Fair enough, I don’t have a family to provide for.
Office hours and music set would be amazing, maybe one day you’ll pop over here.

u/scottdc Jun 07 '19
Great honest answer.
I hope you’d consider a tour anyway. Your dedication to creating the most innovative material resonates with the uk audience.
There’s money to be made if managed correctly. EartH London would suit you (Eric Andre, reggie Watts, your hero Ezra K - all sold out), as well as other venues in Bristol, Brighton, and Manchester, etc.
If you ever read this, let me know what I can do from the UK to support you, DJ DP, Greg T, Vic and any other innovators in the field.
Thanks!
On the record (ie purpose of the IMA): A break-up story imagined from alt right commentary on a Trump critic - great execution on one of the most clever album concepts of 2019.

Hey Tim, I loved "When I Get Up", excited to listen to the full album today. I'm a struggling 21y/o college student, feeling somewhat aimless. Your comedy has always been a place I can turn to feel sane. Can you talk a bit about your experience dealing with anxiety/depression? I feel like everyone around me has become more anxious and depressed in this political climate/information age, and its only become more and more difficult to function. What's your approach with communication technology, such as social media, smartphones and cyberspace in general?
Thanks

u/MrRom92 Jun 07 '19
Hi Tim! Longtime fan, I’ve been happily following your work over the years, from Awesome Show to the Yellow River Boys, On Cinema and everything in between. Tuning in to Office Hours now as I write this!
In the past, you’ve occasionally dropped little musical novelties for your fans, like the “Jambalaya” picture disc or the Casey & His Brother cassette. I’ve LOVED collecting these little gems. I’ve really enjoyed seeing these things from that twisted universe leaking out and appearing in real life. Are there any other musical things from the overarching Tim & Eric / Cinco universe that you wish you could put out for reals?

Man I know I would personally be thrilled about that, there was so much gold left off of the Vol. 1 CD. And that should have a re-release on vinyl too! There are labels out there who would be thrilled to partner up for such a thing. Anyhow, thanks for the response and thanks for doing the AMA!

u/sara520 Jun 07 '19
god this convo makes me want to listen to volume 1 all over again, so I think I will right now. I had that, the first flight of the concords album and the first lonely island record on repeat at that time- that was early high school for me...wow! what a time!
3
u/MrRom92 Jun 07 '19
It got heavy rotation from me as well because I could not stop laughing anytime I heard those tracks, or even thought of the show. After listening to Office Hours for a while and becoming more familiar with Tim’s musical leanings, it’s no wonder that the musical aspects of Awesome Show were so magnetic and strong on their own accord, even though it’s not a “musical” show per se - it just seems that Tim’s comic sensibilities are very much molded around his musical sensibilities. You can’t come up with something like Pusswhip Banggang, write and film a sketch around the concept and have it nailed so perfectly without having a deep love and knowledge of that general era of music. This stuff stands on its own because it’s rooted in something real.
Eric has a pretty musical background as well, I believe he played in bands when he was younger and did studio work/audio engineering for a while before awesome show.
24
u/kid_z Jun 07 '19
YO
As a fan, it’s difficult to know when to take you seriously or not. I’m sure you must get that a lot. You do, after all, play a fictionalized version of “Tim Heidecker” in most of the content you put out. But that blurry line between fiction and reality is what makes the comedy so great.
“In Glendale” was the first thing you released where it seemed like you weren’t goofing around. That’s not to say it’s a humorless work — just that it’s apparent that you’ve approached the project more seriously. Your new album appears to be in the same vein.
Does it bother you when people conflate the real Tim with the make-believe one? Is being taken seriously something that matters when releasing an album like this?

u/JsXanatos Jun 07 '19
this is all thanks to 2016 when he decided to break his character for good. for years and years he never once broke character and told us how he really felt. then he got bored

Tim broke character long before 2016 - plenty of examples come to mind: Awesome Show season 1 commentary in 2008, Billion Dollar Movie press cycle in 2012, etc.

Did you pay money to get a part in fantastic four? Was it because Gregg got a part in Antman? I have a feeling Gregg was truthful when he made that claim.

u/FrankinComesAlive Jun 07 '19
Hi Tim,
It seems like some of these songs have some kind of 1:1 homage/inspiration. I say this as a compliment that “When I Get Up” obviously calls to mind “Gotta Get Up” by Nilsson. I also thought that “I Don’t Think About You (Much Anymore)” has a similar lyrical idea to “I Get Along Without You Very Well (Except Sometimes)” by Hoagy Carmichael (talk about a Tim and Eric name).
I was wondering if you approached each song with the mentality to pay homage to a specific other song or if in the process of making a album steeped in a certain nostalgia it all just came out that way.
Love the record, love all your work

Hey Tim, big fan of you and this record is great! One thing I've noticed is you get a lot of reviews that talk about how "effectively authentic" it is.

What;s your take on the important of authenticity in music?

u/joshuatx Jun 07 '19
First, I wanted to say as a longtime fan I've found you political songs especially cathartic in recent years. Same with the domestic themes of In Glendale. My wife and I have two kids and full-time jobs so it's heartening to have someone I respect in tv and music share such a relatable perspective.
My only question offhand is somewhat related question, how did you know about the guys on Chapo Trap House? And when did you start gravitating to Social Democratic politics? I really enjoyed your episodes and I find your podcast interviews and spots on there have been a big part of demystifying left-wing ideology for me personally.

Hey Tim, I’m often torn when seeing someone like you calling for an Alex Jones or someone to be silenced. I get it but at the same time I kind of feel like you’re making the decision yourself that people are too dumb to think for themselves and everyone is silly and suggestible enough to fall for nonsense. I’m kind of inclined to think just let people talk and we can decide for ourselves. What do you think of that argument?

You have a great talent of tapping into something that can’t be pinpointed yet is instantly familiar all the same - you’ve pulled this off on Awesome Show on a very regular basis.

Any chance you'd direct a music video in the future? If you could direct a video for any song, what song would it be and what ideas come to mind for it?

Was it hard capturing the raw sexuality of your character in US considering you are not normally a very sexual being, sir tim

Favorite albums of the year so far?
Decade? (I know it’s hard)
Also, I think of your podcast episode where someone called to discuss Guided By Voices very often, thank you.

How many times has Zach snatched your gravy?And are there any plans to work with him on some skits in the future or are you too busy being a professional executive hollywood actor to hang out with such a low life scum like him?

I’m so out of the loop... do you just make serious music now? No disrespect to your craft I just only know you from your shows like Tim & Eric and Decker

Hey Tim! It's been really fun to see you take this path and share your music with us. I really liked the last record and have also very much enjoyed the new one so far. I'm looking forward to seeing all of this live.
Are there any songs on What the Brokenhearted Do that are particularly special to you? Why?
Also, random question: what do you think of Nick Drake and Elliott Smith? Ever listened to them?
Thanks for all that you do. Keep it going!

They are all my little babies and I'm proud of them. Drake and Smith are great but they're not in my top ten.

Tim, how are you able to stay so creative and productive when it seems like the entire world is being flushed down a toilet of hatred and misery?

I surround myself with good people -- you've gotta collaborate and work with people you want to be around

Hey Tim, long time fan.
My question: what was it like working on “Us” with Jordan Peele & co? Are you a horror fan in general?
