I've been a big fan of Dekkar since the beginning. So I've known Tim's been a musical savant for a long time. I will say though, none of the songs showcased in this video hold a candle to Empty Bottle.
Love seeing him make music and take it more seriously these days. As much as I got a kick out of his humor on Tom Goes To The Mayor and Tim & Eric, the elements that rang in almost every project he did was the music. So it’s cool to see him evolve that over time till now.
Very nice album, I found myself at some parts thinking "hmm some strings would go really nicely over this", and in the last track, sure enough, beautiful string arrangement.
I think because Tim & Eric are probably the greatest comedic voices of at least Gen Y, that can do no wrong in many's eyes (which I'm guilty of to some extent), his fans have become way too timid to admit that his venture into music is absolute cringe. Why do all funny people eventually have that same "funny-man crisis" where they have to make everyone listen to them play an instrument, lol.
Word of advice to the interviewer, entertainment journalist Krysta Fauria (and AP producers): For future interviews, unless you share the screen with the guest, consider editing out your voice, otherwise, hearing you off camera cheapens and jars the conversation somewhat.
