In a surprising turn of events, Bill Callahan has joined Twitter. Unfortunately, his actual name has been taken, so you can find him at @BillCallaman. While Callahan himself has not yet tweeted, a post from his long-time label Drag City reveals that his followers will “receive a special surprise on 12/24.” Pitchfork has reached out to Callahan’s representatives for more information.

Bill Callahan’s social media awakening follows a relative flurry of activity: He recently released his Live at Third Man Records LP and performed a Carly Simon cover with Yo La Tengo during their annual Hanukkah concert. Callahan will also be performing at Pitchfork and the Art Institute of Chicago’s upcoming Midwinter event. Tickets are on sale now.
