Sufjan Stevens is…

• Pronounced “soof-yon”
• Weird
• Great with song titles (like “Come on! Let’s Boogey to the Elf Dance!”)
• Amazingly gifted
• Strangely addictive
• Free here

Seriously, I’m new to Sufjan and his music. Geof and Gaines absolutely won’t shut up about his awesomeness, so I’ve started listening to see what all the fuss is about. I’m not ashamed to admit it, but I don’t get it - yet. I’ve been listening to his “Illinois” album, and more recently his 5 CD box set of Christmas music called “Songs for Christmas” (thanks, Tim).

I like “Illinois” a little more with each listen. The Christmas stuff is still weird, but I liked most of it on the first time through. Maybe that’s because it’s good. Maybe that’s because I’m getting used to his weirdness.

You can download a song of his (”That was the Worst Christmas Ever”) at the iTunes music store because he’s the single of the week. Check it out. Maybe you’ll find some more music you like. Or maybe you’ll think I’m crazy. At least I’m no more crazy than Gaines or Geof.
