Titus Andronicus
“Titus Andronicus”

Not enough bands name songs after themselves. Naming an album after yourself—whatever. But naming a song after yourself? That’s like a statement of purpose or letter of intent. And this song reads just like that.

If you’re in Brooklyn tonight, consider seeing Titus Andronicus at Glasslands:

The concert is a benefit for a very admirable organization of local activists called Neighbors Allied for Good Growth, or NAG for short, who have been protecting North Brooklyn from the cruel march of “progress” for sixteen years now, whether taking the form of their legendary battle with and victory over a garbage incinerator to the contemporary concern of greedy over-development and so forth. A very worthy cause indeed, say we.
