I'm sadly all outI've been trying for ages. Have you got any Ketamine?
I've found his overtly christian song writing affect my appreciation for his music these days. Your right, i'm going to pretend he's madly in love with a bloke call Tobias and give Illinoise another listen now.This one's nice and soothing an all...
Hmmmm
And this one's about Jesus..But try and ignore that and just pretend it's about gay love instead. I find that much easier personally.

I did find that, initially, i found it hard to take seriously. When you think a songs a love song, but actually turns out to be a paean to an invisible hippy god it does seem to lose a bit of intensity and become slightly sillier...But I've gotten over it tbh, Seven Swans live was probably the highlight of his Adzz Tour. And most of his recent stuff isn't religious at all.I dont mind people or musicians who believe in God, all that matters if their music is good or not. One of my favourite albums is The Life Of The World To Come by The Mountain Goats and on that all the songs are inspired and named by verses in the Bible.
I quite like him. One of the more talented Elliott Smith wannabes.
You're in for a treat then. He's great.Only recently started listening to his stuff. Casimir Pulaski Day is a beautifully sad song.

Even his Christmas stuff?Pretty middling Soof-yan that. Still, I'm sure the album will have a few gems. Don't think he's done an album or EP that haven't really liked at least something off. And he's done a lot of them.
Like it.Got a new album coming out soon, this is off it:
Several critics calling it his best album.
The Age of Adz was one of those albums that take a few listens to get into/appreciated.That sounds more like the Sufjan Stevens I enjoyed. I didn't like the last album very much, hopefully he goes back to his roots a little
What music do you tend to like? This guy's new album sounds (on first listen) much less avant-garde than his other stuff. I get a sort of Elliott Smith/ Nick Drake vibe off it. If that's not your thing then you should probably stay clear.Mike always used to bang on about the boring bastard.
Damn, not only did someone get the joke in before me, but it was nearly a full 5 years. I'm going to have to shape up my comedy timing.Oh great, another peson I can mix up with Shakin' Stevens and Cat Stevens, and make myself look like a Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime.
