Titus Andronicus, “No Future Part III: Escape from No Future”

Here it is! The video for Titus Andronicus’ “No Future Part III: Escape from No Future”, directed by Tom Scharpling of Best Show fame. It is a love letter to New Jersey that people from any geographic origin can appreciate. I saw a good chunk of this video shot over the course of a day, and you would not believe the amount of blood, sweat, and tears that went into it. Tom and the band and producers Robert Hatch-Miller and Puloma Basu deserve all the praise imaginable. Plaudits, please!

Enjoy! If you squint (and can stand to do so), you can see me for brief moments during the Little Egg Harbor segment. Though you’re probably better off just enjoying the video.

Garden State of Mind

Not too long ago, I participated in a music video shoot for the rock and/or roll Titus Andronicus, as did many like minded individuals. The video was directed by The Best Show on WFMU host Tom Scharpling (I may have mentioned him on this site once or twice) and, if his videos for Ted Leo and The New Pornographers are any indication, will be amazing.

The video is intended as a tribute to TA’s home state, New Jersey, so if you live West of the Hudson, you can pitch in on the video’s world premiere on Friday, April 29. Here’s the deal: Just email titusandronicusvideo@gmail.com, and they will hook you up with all the info you’ll need to host the video on your site come Friday. This is ONLY open to people from Jersey, so folks who don’t live there need not apply (including me). (A few more deets can be found in this post at the band’s blog.)

I don’t know how you can prove your NJ bona fides, but I assume anyone reading this will honor the spirit of the project and not try any shenanigans. Don’t prove me wrong, k?
