i never thought much of illinois until now

the new sufjan album is so good on so many levels. first and foremost - the songs are great and make me really happy. i was listening to them today and practically started to skip through chinatown. often the smell of open air fish market does not make me want to skip, so this is really saying something.

here is a song:

casimir_pulaski_day.mp3 - sufjan stevens (from illinois, out july 5th)

the other reason this album is so good is because the song titles are insanely long and i often feel when reading them that i'm reading a children's novel written by nietzsche. here is one:

A Conjunction Of Drones Simulating The Way In Which Sufjan Stevens Has An Existential Crisis In The Great Godfrey Maze

think about that.
