Help Wanted Nights

"Help Wanted Nights" is the fourth full length studio album by the Omaha-based indie rock band The Good Life, released on September 11, 2007 on Saddle Creek Records. Currently, frontman Tim Kasher has moved to Los Angeles and has written a screenplay entitled Help Wanted Nights. He has stated that the screenplay acts as a 'counterpart' to the album. " I tried to have the songs be less storytelling, and less narrative...since I was writing this fictionalized counterpart to this thing, I kind of liked the idea of writing songs to more as ideas that complement something else that was written. I tried to focus less on narrative and more on those big ideas." In regards to the content of the album, Kasher reveals that the new album involves: "Roughly a week in a bar in a small town where a stranger's car breaks down...so, he fraternizes with the regulars, getting too wrapped up in their sordid lives. Something like that."
