I wanna like this and this comment keeps running through my head.

LOL LOLZ.

Such a punk rock complaint, but so true. I can't figure out if it's the promo introduction to ten new three minute songs or nostalgia or what. This sounds like a ska concept song or something.

I liked it though. I've seen shows at the places they're referencing. I hope the Middle East doesn't close.

Thanks for posting, OP. I would have missed this. I just went on a Tim Timebomb binge over Christmas, which might seem odd, but made tons of sense.

That's what I was thinking. I was thinking it could be a lot worse coming from fifty-five/sixty year-olds.

Imagine how goofy a guy my age would look skanking. What is the Bosstones' dance leader going to do in his suit? Hwarf.

Still can't wait to hear the new album if Tim Timebomb is producing it. Should be interesting, at least.

Seems like Tim has/had a hand in a lot of my faves over the years. The dude is prolific.  Love the TT and Friends releases.

I had the exact same length thought but I'm just happy to have something new and the promise of more.  This crew has done some long cover type jams before so it isn't so strange.

 
Do you really wanna know what's happening
Do you really wanna know what's going on
Hey girl you better look around explore your heart find out for yourself...
Jenny De Milo you don't care nothing 'bout me

Yeah, I am curious to hear it. I liked them back in the day and definitely saw them live at a festival. I saw Goldfinger and Less Than Jake live multiple times so I was doing the ska thing. But like you said, I was in high school.

I don't dance. EVER. But I can't stop myself from skanking. And I guarantee you I look silly. Don't care one little bit.

But yeah, rock, the dude in the suit who just dances has looked awkward for years. But he still looks like he's having an absolute blast. #### em.  That's punk.

Oh yeah, if it makes you feel good or smile, go ahead. I'm just picturing my niece and nephew looking at their lumbering uncle trying to move. Once so gangly, now so portly. That and Fred Armisen and the guy who gets the old punk band for the wedding and sings really strange songs in front of everyone.

But I do eagerly await the Bosstones' new album. I've long been an apologist for their later stuff, which wasn't always that well received.

Sunday Afternoons on Wisdom Ave. may be one of my favorite songs ever recorded.

Nice. I just listened to it. Never heard it before. I think I lost track of their new stuff sometime around the early aughts.

A Jackknife to a Swan is an interesting album, and probably my last one that I've really heard. "I Want My City Back" is about The Rathskellar in Boston. I spent some summer nights there back in '94. Met some punk rock kids. Had a good time that I won't soon forget. I feel for the guy. I can't imagine the bastions of my youth just being gone to support condos and high rises.

Their first full length album, Devil's Night Out, was my gateway into all things punk, ska, and hardcore. 

It helped living either living in Boston or in the burbs and getting to see them so many times.
