Jimmy Eat World uses their Twitter account prolifically, but doesn’t do a whole lot to give us much clarity (get it? Clarity? High fives all around) on what they are doing. They’ve previously said they would release their next album in the first half of 2013, and that they had a name chosen but wouldn’t tell us what it is. Now, they have said they are recording some cover tunes, asking fans for requests. I asked them to cover “Goodbye Sky Harbor”, because that was by a totally different band.

My real issue? They haven’t said if it’s for an EP, or a give away to Facebook fans, or if the next full album is just a covers album, or if someone is drunk and Tweeting.

They used the hashtag #fb in the Tweet, which you can see here after the break. If you’re a Jimmy Eat World fan, I guess that means you should like them on Facebook. What do you think the band is up to? Tell us in the comments.

We’re going to record a few cover tunes. Any requests? #fb

I finished school with a music theory degree. Before I finished school, I was a janitor. You really should apologize to all the janitors you've ever had. You hurt them. Seriously. You did.

But, now that we've cleared that up and you called your high school janitor, know that I quit being a janitor to pursue writing about music. So here I am, and here you are, and hey how are you?
