Anyone else looking forward to the release on July 11th?!
I'm betting on emusic.com having it and if they do, as I expect, I'll be downloading it that day.
For those of you who know of Sufjan but didn't know of this album - "Come on Feel the Illinoise" was originally intended to be a double album and this is the rest of the material that would make up the other half originally. It's getting great early buzz.

I wasn't going to pick it up, but I read that Sufjan went back into the studio to re-record all the songs, as in, he never recorded them to begin with, so it doesn't seem like a scam to capture "illinoise" fever.
That said, Oregon or Rhode Island are going to be his next released.

I sometimes throw on Enjoy Your Rabbit too.

Enjoy your rabbit threw me TOTALLY off guard. My friend threw it on and thought it wasn't even Sufjan until he told me.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2006 Location: buenos aires, argentina | | | I found about sufjan about a year ago through england's uncut magazine... i think illionise was voted album of the month on the issue i got... downloaded a couple of his albums and been listening to them a lot... really great stuff... what i read is that he's planning on releasing one album ofr every state in the usa... do you think he'll ever get to release them all???
i was going through a few of the song titles in illinois and michigan and did a search on the internet... really cool the way he does a research and all and writes a song about very small events that took place in each state... does anybody outside illinois know for example about casimir pulasky?? |

He won't try to release all the albums about the states, and he won't do a "gimmick" songwriting thing, but he'll write really good songs and have titles that will reference to the state them (see: The Seer's Tower)

He's also one of the few guys outside of prog who will write catchy songs in crazy meters.

The seats aren't good but I didn't have the jack to buy them until today so I had to settle.
