Title: Sufjan's Marathon
Post by: Garcin on 29 Aug 2005, 17:03

Sufjan Stevens is having fun with his 50 state tour.  So am I :)

Michigan was released on July 1, 2003.

Illinois was released on July 5, 2005.

Which state will be next?  How far will he get?

('Course, the point isn't the destination . . . it's enjoying the ride. . . )

I'd be interested to hear the one about New Jersey. Diners and shopping malls and Newark, oh my!

I can't imagine him on the same project for another 48 years. I'm thinking he'll stop at Wyoming.

He hinted on NPR that Oregon might be next. <big grin from a sufjan fan who lives in said state>

Did he do entire concept albums and promise to do one for every one of the fifty states?

John Linnel did a  "state songs album." Frankly, I think he could have done a better job. This is coming from a pretty big TMBG fan too.

Yeah. I always though he was the John with actual talent. But apparently he's the John who's just a bigger kid. I totally met him though. That was awesome.

I mentioned this in a sufjan thread before but whatever.  Just wanted to add some of the states will just be EPs, so I heard.  Also he has to live in the state for a while first so he will be doing those he has lived in first I think.

His local show is sold out here already.
On the one hand, yay for him being popular.
On the other... damn him for being sold out!

Wow, who the hell is Sufjan Stevens? Relations to Cat Stevens?
