fvorite moment is where his mom says: "I actually baked a cake for Fugazi"

I never thought i'd be watching an hour long doc on Tim K - what an age we live in

I know this didn’t bring in a ton of views for you guys, but thank you. The fans deeply appreciate it

I've watched this a bunch of times. One of the best videos I've watched. Love it in fact.

When I was a teen I always thought that Joan Of Arc was the type of music that cool college kids listened to, so I got into it in hopes of being cool like those college kids. Now I'm 28 and I still feel that way, even thought I'm past college, and I know that those cool college kids were just in my teen imagination

i like how both in music and in life tim is able to both throw you off and be confusing but also be painstakingly clear at once

crazy that devendra banhart talked about my favorite cap'n jazz lyric , the acoustic version, too

LOVE IT!!! Tim is the Leo Messi of Punk Lyrics and Songwriting.

I keep coming back to Make Believe/Joan of Arc/Cap'n Jazz every year, and whenever I'm binging that stuff, I watch this and fall in love with Tim all over again. He's one of those dudes that is so prolific in my life that it feels like I've known him for decades, but I've never met him.

Man, that was one of the best hours (and 8 minutes) I've ever spent

we need more rock documentaries

Maybe a year ago I was commenting on an upload of "live in Chicago 1999" (with like a couple hundred views) about how it was the most underrated record in my lifetime and getting all kinds of crap for it well, I stand by that statement.

12:56 thanks for this shot

i think i found my male role model, this is the man i want to be like in the future. it was crazy to me how much i related to tim once i found out about capn jazz, i absolutely love this human being and to think that he lives in chicago (idk if he still does or if hes still a bartender, if he is im going to see him someday)

I've been waiting for this documentary to exist for a long long time. Thanks so much to everyone who put in their time to make it. Truly inspiring. Viva La Tim!

This is incredible. We need more of this. Esspcially of the Chicago music scene!

thank you noisey! more of this please!

Victor is one of the greatest guitarists ever. So inspirational to the following generations whether they know it or not. His work in Ghosts and Vodka is insanely forward thinking

I haven't even heard this bands, and this documantary is still so inspiring! Thanks!

I feel like Owls was the best thing these dudes ever did. Especially the 2001 record. But they have so much music. All so prolific.

This was so beautiful. Thank you.

This is great. I'm a fan of 10+ years of the kinsellas and friends. But I have to say, the guy who's so disillusioned by Tim's capn jazz lyrics for tokyo and ooh do i love you really matters to me in some way, because ever since Tim revealed he was tripping on mushrooms for the first time in his life when he wrote those lyrics, they don't have any sense of literal meaning. But at the same time they have all the meaning, in another context. It's fucked up. I still sing along to capn jazz on rare days that I wanna hear it and its good shit. Just fucking different, being an adult, thinking of the silliness of youth and their motives. Utopian anarchy headspace... its all surreal and again, yet so close to home on some days. I hope anyone who cares enough to read this can make sense of it Lol.

Ian needs to send Tim's mom a pan...

saw them years ago in Philly. seriously one of the best shows ever.

no puedo dejar de mirar esto. tim es todo lo que esta bien en este mundo

I fucking love cap'n jazz every song

His mom is awesome.

I remember finding cap n Jazz back in the day. Right after they broke up. , and found American football because I loved the drums in Cap N Jazz, and thought Mike played drums for American football. I loved the American football album and then realized Mike played guitar and vocals ha And I remember always liking American footballs album more than Joan of arc or cap n Jazz But never woulda guessed they would become a popular band in the late 2010s ha.

Love you Tim

Never herd of him but the Doc is very interesting for the mind ... Open you Mind

Wow, I'm watching a Noisey doc and I'm not having guns pointed at me or watching the glorification of drug-use/rampant overspending & excess lifestyle choices. More of this

Im fucking blown away by this kinsella store story

Please more Noisey like this.

thank you for making this

My approach to playing & listening to music changed when I found Tim & co. Also wanna add that Victor & Sam"s Ghosts & Vodka instrumental record "Addicts and Drunks" is in my top 10. I love bands that i can get to know or let stay at your apartment on tour.....like Tim's bands. "Punk rock = work ethic" "Get in the Van"

11;11 Evergreen sighting

i love tim kinsella.

Tim seems nice.

Thank you for this

Great! I’d like a sequel with song brother’s American football

I saw Joan of Arc in my hometown about 10 years ago. There was about 50 people there and Tim burned a heckling audience member so hard. I wanted to meet him after the show but knew that I’d probably hug him and for too long and that he’d probably not be wild about that. I also got tears in my eyes at 7:07 when he introduces his grandmother and Bluegrassish starts playing…

28:53 the dog though

Thank you Noisey!

When I was about 19-20 I worked the night shift at a gas station. It was hard to sleep during the day so I would listen to 'Live in Chicago, 1999' basically every day to fall asleep. I'm still not sick of it. I really really dislike a big amount of his other work but damn I love that album! I also really liked 'A Portable Model Of'.

Amazing,,,

Let’s go JOA!!

this was perfect. mike seems like the cool lil brah

goat

pretty interesting take on Joan of Arc and what it means to be part of a 20 year art project that takes directions in every way possible. good job guys

GOOSE BUMPS

I feel like him and I share a psychological profile.

Cap'n Jazz is my favorite band

subtitles please !!!!!!

How I remember pouring through Joan of arc albums digging for a glimmer of cap’n jazz genius... what a tease... the reunion was a dream come true. Time travel. Nothing that wild and great can burn for long, two decades of recovery to relight that torch

awesome

Good stuff!

Out of all the bands that I loved as a teenager, Cap N Jazz are the ONLY band that I still love as much at 40 as I did at 17. They were children when they wrote, performed and recorded these songs, yet their music was so original and important. The way everyone who was into the so called 2nd wave of Emo never called themselves Emo and never identified as Emo. Tim Kinsella who is to 2nd wave Emo as Muddy Waters is to Chicago Blues says he was never Emo or felt or identified his band as Emo. At the time any band that was straying from the Pop Punk model and doing things that were different and original was being called Emo. Bands that sounded nothing alike were all lumped into the same genre. I feel like it was called Emo because nobody knew what to call it and people have a need to put everything into a box. I remember in the late 90s early 2000s the rumors in Chicago were that Tim was a dick. If you asked for specific stories of him being a dick you never heard one. They wouldn't have situations of him being a dick he just had this reputation amongst his fans. I was standing next to him at a show at the Metro, I think it was Tortoise or The Sea and Cake and Joan of Arc had played earlier. It was 20 years ago or so, I wanted to tell him that I loved his music and thank him for making it. However I didn't because I was afraid he would be a dick. Same when he worked at Jynx and Rainbo. Seeing this video I have a feeling that all these rumors about him being a dick are complete bullshit. They're just lies from journalists who hate that he has the balls to make the music he wants and not give a damn about what they think. Shame on me for believing lies that and not thinking for myself. I could have shaken the hand of my musical hero.

Not nostalgia Im not old enough am from Chicago though, what man said at 31 and half minutes really makes sense to me dammit

🖤

If someone had told me in 1999 that there would be a documentary about Tim Kinsella and 50k people would watch it, i'd have cried. Thats literally how posthcemo I was.

Do American Football next!

Tim is emo and indie's own Syd Barrett

Wow, a noisey that I can actually kinda relate with..... oh joy.... I can understand the dialect

15:12 my favorite song comes on. Man

If im not mistaken....joan of arc died at a pretty early age; the age of NINETEEN. So not even Joan of Arc got to see 20 years of Joan of Arc.

Would love if you did a documentary on Mike Kinsella since he's just as influential if not more influential than Tim in my opinion plus this was fucking great

Trying to find Cap'n Jazz 1990s show history Concert Archive says they only played 7 shows in 1994 and 1995?

Anyone know the name of the song that starts in the beginning of the video??

what's the song at 4:27?

Jorge Ben @ 42:48

what is that acoustic version of ooh do i love you they play at 23:08 from? thanks

Whats the song at 36:13 ?

i see me at the owl

Listened to Joan of Arc a bit, but listened to Cap'n Jazz a lot and still do. Anyone who enjoys Kinsella's voice/music can check out Algernon Cadwallader; definitely influenced by Kinsella's music, but similarities are exaggerated. Singing off-key doesn't belong to anyone. It was trippy to learn about the infamous "Virginia". When Banhart describe's Cap'n's sound being tough and vulnerable at once, I doubt he must mean it in the sense of having the strength of character to show vulnerability in music, which hadn't been a thing in a lot of punk up to that point. Even if a band, like Minor Threat, Black Flag, etc, etc, had a song that related to vulnerability, it was toughened-up, which is pretty childish/cowardly. I always figured punk from the midwest, like Capn' Jazz was a reaction to the rising levels of macho bullshit in punk at the time anyway.

What song is at 21:00?

Tim Kinsella sort of looks like he'd be Frank Ieros older brother

Fist comment

I’m glad Riley sobered up…

Do one about MGMT

First and foremost let me clear... I have a deep love for these cats.. what I can’t wrap my head around why they and people in general these days can’t get through a single sentence without saying “like uhh, like uhh”. I’m not hating just an observation

Cap'n Jazz / Joan of Arc have both been on my list of bands to check out for the last 20+ years. For whatever reason I just gloss over it every single time. Then a couple days ago I randomly decided to finally take the time to get a feel for them. I gotta say, it wasn't anything close to what I expected. I figured they'd at least bear some sort of resemblance to American Football. Although I do love American Football, I was pleased to find out Cap'n Jazz / Joan of Arc sound nothing like them. However.. the level of pretention here is just through the roof. I get that Tim Kinsella is just wired differently than your typical songwriter, in that sense I greatly appreciate his authenticity to himself. But I just fail to see what Cap'n Jazz / Joan of Arc are actually bringing to the table in terms of creativity or innovation. It feels like Tim is happy to forego quality if it means he can be more prolific. The vast majority of the songs I've checked out seem to have a seed of a good idea, but these ideas are rarely given time to blossom and fully bloom. Everything feels halfway done. Rushed. I realize this is going to be a very unpopular comment. But someone needed to say it.
