sufjan stevens
is pretty amazing live. The dual themes of pep rallies and pirates were entertaining. The 9-person band was overwhelming. The hipsters in the crowd making out with each other made me jealous. Against Race is brilliant, infuriating, and at times almost superciliously allusive (and ellusive.) I suspect i'm going to get increasingly pissed off as Gilroy starts talking about Missy, Snoop, and SWV in relation to fascism. I'm going to sleep now.
I am so looking forward to hearing Sufjan in Boston next month. He's like one of my favorite artists working. But then he would be.
