Sufjan Stevens, Come On Feel The Illinoise


This cd has found it's way into my cdp everyday this week. Seriously, I can't recall the last time an album has affected me like this.

Well recorded also.

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
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).
