Thank you Aron of Aberdeen’s SHMUfm for giving “Rebellious Cardigan” its global broadcast debut (as far as we know)! Being played right after one of our heroes @divinecomedyhq.bsky.social made it all the nicer! 💡

So many amazing songs after so many amazing years and not one live performance?! Pretty please with sugar on top… can we put together a live Trademark Issues jam (maybe in the Danvers area during the next Farley get together)? THE FANS REQUIRE IT! Come on y’all, we can make this happen in 2026. 🙏

Once again, we salute friend-of-the-‘Marks @yourfriendgrace.bsky.social for producing the fastest-turn, song-by-song, capsule reaction to our new album. We like this tradition!

GLOW is out now as a Bandcamp-first release. 💡

Airside: Nice upbeat start, I also have a little fear of flying and I've never purchased a trip with miles but I feel like that's an adult thing that I should leam how to accomplish Second-Verse Tambourine: Super sweet messaging here, another feel good TI classic that will definitely be among my favorites, had to loop this one more than once before I could move on All the Little Things: excellent thematic link (maybe unintentional) that it starts with tambourine, really pretty authentic feeling harmonies Oh No You Don't: this feels like if a sesame street puppet decided to set a hard boundary, lol.... elmo is SICK OF YOUR SHIT, *dances around happily* Still Cool: awwwwww! grace and ashley and andrew mentions?! still cool, indeed :) <3 The Bit: hmm... interesting lyrics Song for a Non-Touring Band: if TI ever plays a live show, ill be on the front row... just gotta get gary back out to danvers! ill play cowbell and kazoo Good Night, Foshay Telesign: had to google "foshay telesign" and gary's twitter thread was the first thing that came up... quintessential Ti to make a song for a niche historical situation, so naturally, i love this Two Soviets: of course, ill be partial to this one because im in it... but it's totally a bop….. definitely alien influence in here, you're welcome lol No Longer: awww, the two soviets coax y'all to the Czech Republic and everything falls apart in the real life rain... womp womp Rebellious Cardigan: hmm... interesting lyrics Glow Through the Motions: FANTASTIC CLOSER! Almost has a rockabilly feel and I love the lyrics, especially "pretend your little drop of courage is a big, big ocean"

BAND FACT: The two of us have made six albums but never performed live. We've only been in the same room once, for that matter.

We love many songs about bands being on the road. Here’s ours about not. From our new album Glow, out now on Subjangle (@subjangle.bsky.social).

It was a great turnout for the premiere of EVIL PUDDLE, the latest (and greatest?!) movie from Motern Media and @shockmarathons.bsky.social!
I know I'm biased, but I never know what to expect or how they come up with this stuff, and it's always so much fun!
Catch a screening this summer!
