March 17, 2023: New album "Not Still Here" out today!

February 26, 2023: New single "What A Fool Am I" available since February 24th on all streaming platforms. The new album "Not Still Here" is due for release on March 17th on DevilDuck Records!

December 3-11, 2022: More than 6 years have gone since a previous (small) update of this site. In 2016 and 2021 a handful of new Timebold songs were released online/download only, in 2019 Jason released a record with Miracle Whips, but now a complete new Timesbold record is to be released in February 2023 and as a teaser an EP of outtakes "The Eureka Triangle" has been released on November 4, 2002! See below for all the bits and pieces.

March 3, 2016: Today I finally updated some bits and pieces across the site again.

Disclaimer
Please note that updates will appear only when I have new information to add and especially when I have time. Although this might be obvious to some, there are also people out there who seem to forget that this is not a job, but simply a labour of love by a fan who also has a life outside of the internet, like most of you I guess, erm hope ... Also note that this site and it's maker is not connected to the artist(s) in any way ... except for being a huge fan keeping track of what's out there, and that this site is a tribute to the work of Whip and Timesbold.

Limited edition single of 500 copies, all but 5 are released in a different sleeve! The first scan has been taken from the official Whip & Timesbold website (see below for the link). The second scan (the very small one) comes from the Zealrecords site (see below for the link). At least seven other versions are known to me (including my own copy), and scans of all versions can be found on a special page, which also includes an interesting story (I think) from Bootleg Vol bass player Nick White about the band and how all the different sleeves were put together! If anyone has more details and/or can provide scans of other versions, please do so! Thank you.

TIMESBOLD's OFFICIAL STATEMENT:
March of 2003 found Timesbold on tour through Europe, and America on the brink of a war with Iraq. Needless to say, being Americans abroad at such a time caused us our due of nervousness... we weren't exactly sure how we would be received. We decided that we needed to do or say something to at least set the record straight on where we stood amongst this mess of pre-war talk, and Tony had the fine idea of doing a cover version of the Dylan song "Masters of War". We went ahead with it, and in the process discovered that we happened to be playing the song close to its 40th anniversary... it was originally released on May 27th, 1963.

Now it really is a shame that 40 years have come and gone and we still need to be singing this song, but the words resonate as powerfully today as they did in the early '60s. The song works now as it did then 'cause it doesn't single out a particular country or criticize a particular event... it simply shines a harsh light on the shadowy realities of power-politics and greed, exposing the abhorrent behavior of those who are willing to sacrifice the well-being of others for the benefit of only themselves and their special interests.

People's reaction to our live version of "Masters of War" was striking, so when we returned home from the tour we decided to put together a recorded version. We also recorded a Timesbold version of an old Whip song called "Gospel of Thomas", which was another unfortunately suitable song for the tour that we dedicated nightly to 'the man upstairs' in the States.

These 2 tracks have now been released on a limited edition 7" single through Zeal Records...
Give it a listen and give it a thought... Let's hope the song doesn't need to live another 40 years.

Recorded and produced by Max.

Timesbold / Goodnight Irene

  1. Goodnight Irene

Free download from the band's MySpace page!

Tuesday, February 07, 2006

about "Goodnight Irene"

back in early January the whole band was together at Tin Drum Studios to continue the work on our latest record. one evening a mighty rainstorm blew in, and with it came a funny little mood. so we decided to gather ourselves and our instruments around a few microphones under the big studio skylights, and right on the spot we created & recorded this arrangement of the classic "Goodnight Irene".

now we thought we'd pass it along to you, our MySpace friends... you can even download it from our page and keep it forever. think of it as an early valentine's day present (it is, after all, exactly our kind of love song). hope you enjoy... we'll have more new music for you soon.

If you're reading this you probably already realize that J. Merritt has the kind of voice you remember forever upon hearing it, Its familiar but i have never heard anything exactly like it. Merritt has the ability to make a room full of drunk people stop talking and listen to his music, I have witnessed this upon multiple occasions and very few artists have this ability

I've spent the last two decades listening to the music of Timesbold, it never disappoints, the only way you will believe what I am saying is by hitting play and going thru the Timesbold catalog. Merritt also has a knack for surrounding himself with talent and this release is no exception. Recorded in Portland at Fremont with a new cast of musicians and a myriad of classic instruments these songs leave me yearning for a full length release.

This 2021 single from Timesbold reunites J. Merritt with Priapus Records where 25 years ago he released music under the moniker Whip. The Priapus label launched both his first single (7" Some Awful Men b/w Woody Guthrie) and Whip's debut album Song Song.

A run through of the Timesbold discography here on Bandcamp will tell you all you need to know. I will shut up now. Happy listening !

    Limited to 500 copies. Adorned with Microblast mini-comic/liner notes. Front sleeve issued in various colors.
    Except the scan of the blue one on the left, I also found a scan of a red one on the web ... and my own copy is pink.
    Anyone else with another color?

    This seems to be (to my ears anyway) the same version as to be found on the "Timesbold" album from March 2002, it only contains some more tape hiss.

    "Acuarela Songs 2 is a tribute, a melting pot and a briefing point. Last year's "Acuarela Songs" was a 2CD album that compiled songs from Spanish and international bands that used the word 'Acuarela' (ie: watercolour) in their songs. Voices from different places and different languages that somehow paid homage to the label. The album was highly acclaimed by the critics (mostly on the States and France), and now Acuarela releases the second volume, a three-step way to celebrate its ninth birthday."

    "In his debut film TARNATION, director Jonathan Caouette paired dazzling visual storytelling with an inspired mix of music from artists such as Low, Iron & Wine, Lisa Germano, Magnetic Fields, and Red House Painters. Tying it all together are original instrumental pieces written and performed by record producer / film composer Max Avery Lichtenstein.

    In October of 2004, after countless requests from eager listeners, Tin Drum Recordings made a selection of Max's songs from the film available for free under the Creative Commons license, and the response was overwhelming... the Tarnation theme music has already racked up more than 40,000 downloads, and the tally continues to grow! We're thrilled that so many folks have responded so positively to this music...

    Now we're happy to announce that a more complete collection of Max's Tarnation music is available, as well as the official DVD of the film for those who were unable to catch it in the theaters (or who simply want to relive the experience)."

    The original music for Tarnation was composed, recorded and produced by Max Avery Lichtenstein at Tin Drum Studios just outside New York City. It was performed by:

    Jesse Sparhawk: electric guitar and finger-picked acoustic guitar
    Justin Smith: violin
    Gunnar Sahlin: cello
    Max Avery Lichtenstein: piano, harmonium, organ, bass, strummed guitar, vibes, percussion & musical saw

    Camphor / Enjoy The Struggle

    1. Enjoy The Struggle

    Exclusive free download from the RCRD LBL website!

    September 6, 2008

    A brand new song on RCRD LBL, and an important announcement...

    Hello friends... I'm very excited to tell you 'bout a brand new Camphor track called "Enjoy The Struggle" that's available right now as a free download, exclusively from the fine folks at RCRD LBL.

    I began working on this song a few months ago, and it was originally intended as nothing more than a general philosophical exploration. Life has a funny way of reframing intentions, however, and the song has taken on new significance and personal meaning as I find myself dealing with an unexpected struggle of my own...

    Last month I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. So far, my case is not too alarming; my only symptom is numbness in my hands, and most likely I'll be able to manage the condition very well with some medication and a few lifestyle adjustments. With these precautions, I expect to continue to enjoy a comfortable and creative life!

    Unfortunately, managing my health will necessitate taking a bit of a break from performing live… but I'm already working hard on new music videos and songs that I plan to share with you all real soon, and in a few months time I hope to make it back out on the road for some unique performances.

    In light of my new circumstances, "Enjoy the Struggle" seems a remarkably appropriate song to release into the world right now. The lyrics sum up my philosophy about things fairly well, so I thought I'd share it with you. Hope you enjoy too...

    - Max
