Today's Quick Mention: Somehow or
another life has twisted things around and put me in
a position where I have to attend a funeral tomorrow
and a wedding on Saturday. I'll see if I end
up with enough time to get the usual content up on both
days, but don't be surprised if it doesn't happen.
Sorry, friends.
Not sure how it ended up in
my head this way, but I totally thought that Titus
Andronicus was some sort of electronic band.
They're not. At all. Thanks for telling
me. Anyhow, before they arrive for SXSW I need
to pick up their older stuff and The Monitor,
which is the new LP that's due on March 9 via XL
Recordings. I suggest you follow suit.
Enjoy.

Andronicus - A More Perfect Union:
I tend to shrug my shoulders at the length of a song, but
there are times where something will drag on simply because
it can. This, even though it's a fairly simple indie
rock tune (think a less pop Desaparecidos), actually manages
to avoid that throughout its seven minute runtime. So
what keeps you tuned in? The lyrics that come with
Patrick Stickles' inspired vocals. The whole thing is
just one great line after another. Can't wait to hear
this live.
