Just curious. There's not much in the way of fancy fretwork (bass-wise, anyway) on his recordings, but anyone who appreciates good arranging would love his stuff. Let's not even get into how good of a melodist and lyricist he is, either.

| | | | Sufjan has taken over my life. Amazing.I can't wait to see how far he gets into his "fifty albums for the fifty states" idea before he gives up. Anyway, thats awesome to see some other people on TB into Sufjan Stevens. |

If SS is smart, he'll combine upper New England into one album. I don't think there's an awful lot to say about Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont on their own, except maybe as 25-minute EPs.

I think the song titles are horrible. I know that shouldn't matter, but 
And what's up with the track that breaks into Close To Me by the Cure midway through?
But...lyrics are interesting, and I like his voice (very Zombies) and often the instrumentation.
I'll give it another go.
