More than a year ago,
@chriselia11
and I began work on an archival documentary that would tell the whole story of how
@TitusAndronicus
came to make our second album, "The Monitor"
Today, it is our pleasure to finally share it with the world
Please enjoy
RIP to the GOAT Norm MacDonald — I’m not exaggerating when I say there is no entertainer who has brought me more total hours (easily in the hundreds) of sheer delight and spirit-nourishing joy
We’re blessed that his peerless body of work will make us laugh for centuries to come
Damn
The sincerest of salutes to the high-integrity legends
@screamales
after 18 noble and courageous years
There are a vanishingly small number of rock bands which you could credibly accuse of having done everything right and this was one of them
May their legacy be a beacon
It's hard to know what to say, but I am trying to put gratitude first, as the 34 years that we spent together will forever be one of my life's greatest blessings
"Until the day we meet again / in my heart is where I'll keep you, friend"
RIP Matt Miller (1987-2021)
I thank you all for the outpouring of support and enthusiasm today as
@TitusAndronicus
begins the process of “coming back”
For those asking what exactly where we are “coming back” to do… stay tuned
Isn't it interesting that, on Tuesday, Titus Andronicus simply says "we're coming back," and then on Thursday, we see new album announcements from some of the biggest names in all of music
It's almost as if the whole industry knows that there's a storm coming
Grab yr umbrellas

I first saw

perform at
@boweryballroom
on the Funeral tour in November of 2004, at the tender age of 19
To see them tonight on that same stage, with all that’s transpired in the years since, well…
…it really makes you think
You may recognize him as the bartender from the "STACKS" sitcom -- he was also the hypeman on "Real Talk" and a featured backup singer on many, many Titus Andronicus tracks
Tonight’s the night : after nearly two harrowing years,

If we’re gonna do that, maybe we should also go ahead and bring back the facet of the 80s/90s model wherein the artist, you know, got paid {+@}
“I’m a great man. I’m doing great things, not just for me, but for my culture and the world. That’s actually the position I’m in, that’s real. I didn’t ask for it. I worked, and that’s the situation.”

I hear this as “I love my popcorn — movies? Popcorn,” a shorthand for “Are you watching movies? If so, you need to be eating popcorn concurrently,” which is a totally normal (and true) sentiment, expressed in (to my ear) a perfectly coherent fashion

I’ve just been reminded that the 7th Titus Andronicus studio album, “The Will to Live,” was released one year ago today
Good enough reason to give it a spin, I’d say, if you haven’t done so lately
Oh my god, we’re back again
“Give Me Grief” is the second official single from the forthcoming Titus Andronicus album ‘The Will to Live,’ available September 30th from

Let's revisit those magic days now, for old times' sake
[THREAD 1/5]
One interesting measure of a band's greatness is what I call The Strokes Test: Would people still care about this band if their best album did not exist. It's surprising how many artists do not pass this test.
There is only one reputable media outlet which has dutifully reported on all five Titus Andronicus singles this year as they’ve been released and yes, it is
@stereogum
Believe it or not, this was the album we referenced the most in making our new studio LP 'The Will to Live,' both in terms of its sonics and its underlying intent-- hats off to Robert "Mutt" Lange for truly the most "perfect" rock sound ever achieved (maybe tied with Boston s/t)

What’s more, if you believe institutes such as

So there’s that
RIP Eric Carle, whose signature blend of painting and collage techniques (as seen in “Hungry Caterpillar” and other classics) inspired the rarely seen original cover of “The Airing of Grievances” — he has now become a butterfly
