if emo says so, I stand corrected

I'd be so disappointed if emo didn't like him.
- Jaline0
how do you pronounce his name anyway?

I'm waiting for my ride, and a Sufjan Steven song came on random, and I immediately started whistling even though I haven't heard this song in a real long time, hehe.
Black Hawk War, The - Off of Illinoise.
I don't really see how anyone can think he isn't good, he's dope.

Kind of reminds me of some Who non-verbal shit - like something that should be on Tommy when everything is clicking around 'Miracle Cure'.
- Jaline0
It does remind me of The Who, but I'll actually listen to them, not Sufjan so much.

Yea, I don't think I ever go, 'I want to listen to Sufjan Stevens.'
But whenever he happens to come on, I'm not averse.
And when he brings out new stuff, I'll give it more listens than I'd usually give something that is new.
Ta Ta Jaline, have a nice nite! :D

He's the type of person who has great instrumentals, but doesn't actually have an amazing voice. Just mediocre.
- Jaline0
you too, flavor.
He has some nice music, I just don't think making a CD for each state will turn out well. It's unique I guess.

It's brutally bad in an Arcade Fire/Sleepy Jackson sort of way.
Bands that abuse orchestras suck.

just do your own thing - it shouldnt matter what people tell you is cool or indie or wtf for that matter. I think the people going around saying "this is really indie - this is really mainstream - etc" are much too pretench and need to chill out. I listen and happen to like Sufjan Stevens...whats it to you? Am I Indie now?
- Jaline0
yeah, whatever. people can like whatever music they want.
even country ;)

Sufjan, pronounced SOOF-YAWN has nothing on Devendra Banheart. Case closed.
However, before Sufjan found his orchestra, polyphonics spree regurgitated christian lyrics the dude was making techno beats.
How dope would that be, a Christian rave party!
GLOW STICK CROSSES!!

illinoise made me question living in the midwest, as well as my sanity. i think i wrote 1/2 of the songs when i broke up with my girlfriend in 8th grade.
the 50 album thing isn't happening - thank god. i couldn't imagine hearing him whisper about 'riding dirty' in the ATL -- feel me?

Shutup Seanbot and buy me some new faces.
