Well it’s been a day since we released our first new songs in a few years (go listen if you haven’t yet) and the reviews are in:

“Oh cool, you guys are still a band.”

“Wait, is the song called that because you’re breaking up?”

“I’ll listen to those songs soon. Can’t wait. You hungry?”

This is how I found out Mike said fuck it and published the Bandcamp page on Friday.

Timeshares @timeshares.bsky.social · 2d

Two new songs out now everywhere you stream music.

OK, we’re going to post obnoxiously about it on Monday…but since this is a fairly obscure account on a fairly obscure platform…

Two new Timeshares songs are live on Bandcamp and almost all of the streamers right now.

It’s an all-time bad rollout, but I don’t think TRL was in our future anyway.

hmm. I’d look into this but unfortunately I have a HANDCRAMP

Hey the band @timeshares.bsky.social do you have new music out today?

Timeshares @timeshares.bsky.social · 4d

Oh, maybe. I’ll take a look.

stay locked to this account for new music from a guy who didn’t listen to Drive Like Jehu when he was 15 because he thought it would sound like Juliana Theory or whatever and now has lingering resentment about it.

The problem with calling just about everything that isn’t Lagwagon “emo” is that it kept people like me from listening to Drive Like Jehu until their 30’s. And you can’t exactly go around saying, “Damn, ya’ll ever heard this Yank Crime?” to people with mortgages.

This was the last thing I tweeted before I logged out of this account for half a year. Honestly, it would have made a fine closing chapter of our legacy.

My wife is teaching our cat to sing the Skyrizi song and I swear it’s working

Okay, I figured out how to log into this account again. I’ll have to be obnoxious with it VERY soon, because we finally fucking did something.

Our second record turned 10 yesterday. Mike posted a bunch of pictures from when we made/toured it over on IG, if that’s your thing.

I still don’t think we ever quite nailed it on one of these, but there are moments on this record that come pretty close for me.

A customer who seemed cool came into my job and was back out the door all within the duration of “Stacy’s Mom.”

As they were leaving, it took everything in me not to call out, “I’m listening to the whole album, I swear.”

They did! And Elvis Costello’s first seven or eight records were pretty much my personality (a bad personality!) in my twenties, so you can trust me!

Labrador @labrador-tunes.bsky.social · Mar 27

@timeshares.bsky.social said we made a GET HAPPY!!! and nothing has hit a bullseye harder. Y’all are going to get a big album of hooks and soul.

We’ve played together for over fifteen years, since we were dumb children (now dumb men). Last night was our first gig in a year, and our first with Eric’s 9 mo. old daughter in attendance.

It feels nice. Not to announce-an-announcement, but a few more gigs coming soon, and they’re real hooters.

You think Nardwuar ever realizes he has an interview coming up with someone he’s never heard of and just says, ah fuck it, I’ll google some lyrics, buy some shit off eBay and make some funny noises?

this was my second favorite part

Pat was just pointing at them, and they didn’t even notice. Just eating each other’s faces. “Zip City” really does whip ass.

Labrador @labrador-tunes.bsky.social · Feb 4

@timeshares.bsky.social and I just saw the @drivebytruckers.bsky.social and this couple directly in front of us was making out during “Zip City” so aggressively that I had no choice but to pump my fist and cheer. God bless rock and roll.

Just scored one. Great room! Parking in the area isn’t totally awful.

I caught the SRO tour already, so I’ll live, but jesus, I’ve hit every dead end possible trying into the Drive By Truckers gig tonight. These fellas are a HIT in Ardmore, PA.

Every Doechii TV performance I’ve seen is batshit insane. She’s impossibly cool.

Whole staff in my regular Dunkin’ was singing “Almost Doesn’t Count” by Brandy this morning in unison like a South Philly “We Are The World.” 🥲
