Sufjan Stevens, Come On Feel The Illinoise

I've been completely addicted since the first time I heard it on the University Of Philadelphia's WXPN. I hope he plays another World Cafe show with David Dye soon. Seems like it's in heavy rotation for a year now.

Sufjan's very unique, fun - but in a sick, scary Depp/Wonka way. Have to go. I hear Autobahn (45 version) starting.

Peace out. Kevin

Kevin, it is the University of Pennsyvania. . .

michigan is even better. much better, in fact.

the rest of his catalog disappoints in comparison.

interesting to read the liner notes: he thanks his local priest for letting him record some organ lines taken from the church organ. i want to say you can hear the train going by in the background of a track on michigan (as he recorded part of it in his apartment).

all said, SS is a genius. (if you like him, check out luke temple).

timrhu you might wanna check out the new Iron & Wine album if you haven't heard it yet. I'll have to go with Illinoise over Michigan though. I just dug up some old threads where just a few of us were trying to turn people onto this album well over 2 years ago.

gave my vinyl copy away - couldn't help but share it and turn on a fellow audiophile to sufjan, need to replace soon
the vinyl is spectacular

all sufjan's material is excellent
