![]() People are responding well to this, so it’s a good sign. “If people think it’s a joke or whatever, it’s not really my problem anymore. “It’s not a joke that I’m making music, but that doesn’t mean that music can’t be funny or humorous,” Heidecker says. That would lead you to believe any of the other things he’s written or composed was a lark, which is far from the truth. ![]() What’s being lost in the lead-up to the May 20 release is the softly spoken “this time” that’s attached when anyone discusses In Glendale. Those articles alone are almost begging you to fall for something, and for Heidecker to pull some Andy Kaufman-style stunt where everyone can laugh later at how dumb everyone was for buying into it. Heidecker isn’t abandoning comedy, and he is well aware that people will think what they want to think about the project. So it’s only natural when he announced that he was releasing an album of earnest – sometimes autobiographical – songs, that the first question people would ask him was: “Is this serious?” Scan mentions of his new project, In Glendale, on Google and you’ll get headlines like: “Tim Heidecker Would Like You To Take Him Seriously, Please (At Least For This Album),” “Tim Heidecker’s ‘In Glendale’ is Not a Joke, and Not Just for ‘Tim and Eric’ Fans,” “Tim Heidecker Is Quite Sincere About His Music,” and “Comic Tim Heidecker’s new soft-rock album is no joke.” Tim Heidecker has made a living out of not being taken seriously.
