Interviewer: You and Conor Oberst go back a long way — you guys grew up together in Nebraska and went to high school together. Is he a good wingman?
Tim Kasher: Well, I think he would be. It's a little rough to say yes or no. He'd be a great wingman in the sense that anywhere you go, there would always be plenty of scraps [laughs]. He’s a very attractive young man, and very successful, so chances are, all eyes are going to turn to him, and you’ll be immediately dismissed.

Interviewer: “The People’s Key” is one of your most glossy records to date. Do have any plans to do any more lo-fi recordings like your old stuff?
Conor: I’m not sure what I’m going to do next for a record, so it’s hard to say. I will say I’m always doing home recordings, demoing songs, so that’s something that’s never really stopped. It just used to be that would be the actual recording. Now we usually demo the songs and figure them out and then bring them into the studio. But I really like all levels of fidelity when it comes to recording — I don’t think there’s a right way or wrong way, it’s just what feels the best with the music you’re making at that time. I could see it being fun to make a more, as you said, lo-fi record. The record we made in Mexico was kind of like that. It was sort of a makeshift studio — we recorded it all on a one-inch, 16-track, analog machine. It was a pretty old-school approach. I don’t know about the four track days, I don’t know if those are gone for good or not.

anawfullie:
I went to a cursive show in Pomona and 2 hours before the show, we walked by the glasshouse and there was Tim. So I went up to him and I was like “hi, can I have a picture?” and he said yes and so we took one. During the picture I didn’t know where to put my hands and Tim…
