I was sitting at my kitchen counter Monday afternoon skimming the pages of New York Magazine, (which earns the number one spot on my list of the greatest things to ever come out of mailboxes) and I don't know how i missed it. I must have been distracted, or perhaps fell to a temporary fit of relative insanity. Either way, it took me until about 4:17pm today to realize that my life was about to change. I report:
After having completed already Michigan and Illinois, melodic mastermind Sufjan Stevens is ready on his way to achieve his goal of recording an album inspired by every state in the United States.
Being a massive fan of the pure glory that is his being, I am sooooo excited that...
oh my goodness...
Sufjan Stevens is currently working on an album for none other than...
NEW JERSEY!!!
whoo-hoo!!!
I absolutely cannot wait. Sufjan is a personal favorite. His sweet, almost lofty voice backed by an acoustic guitar, a horn or two and the more than just occasional banjo (all played by him) feels like a calming breeze in the shade. (listen to "Chicago [acoustic]" or "That Dress Looks Nice On You")
New York explains his fascination with the New Jersey Turnpike, and the beginnings of his inspirations.
New Jersey loves you, Sufjan!
