going to see Sufjan Stevens tonight. I have no idea what to expect but I know that it's going to be awesome.

How was it?

First half was just Carrie and Lowell straight through, ended with this [expletive] crazy light show. Second half was fan favs.

Seriously though, what an artist.

I'd pay way too much money to see him do Illinois front to back if that was ever an option.

[The Third Man]

Going through one of my phases where I do nothing but listen to a ton of Swans and Scott Walker.

Here, have a 21-minute song about Attila the Hun's moorish jester traveling through time and space and collapsing with a brown dwarf star (get it?), interspersed with grade-school insults ("Does your face hurt? Cuz it's killing me"), atonal guitar squeals, saxophone, and silence.

[The Third Man]

How have I gone all my life without listening to Current 93 until now? Plaintive, serious, and grim folk music tackling mysticism, religion, and brutal historical events (including a 17-minute song about Hitler being the final incarnation of Vishnu, the destroyer of worlds) - this stuff was made for me.

That's a little surprising. I'm always looking for new music.
