I’m on Twitter as sufjansaves too. Pretty cheesy, right? Anyway, I’m glad you decided to try his music out! I hope you started with his earlier material since his latest album, Age of Adz, is a whole new sound compared to his banjo-heavy/folk days. Not saying it’s bad. It’s just really, really different is all. (Fave songs for comparison - Earlier songs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 this song has TONS of versions, but this is my personal favorite; Age of Adz: 1, 2, 3). He’s put out a lot of records, but my favorite is still the Michigan album because the first few songs I listened to and fell in love with are in that album.
Some of my favorite things to talk about: mafia films, science fiction, Sufjan’s adorable gap tooth, and music!
Just a note: the music I listen to is generally the sombre/quiet/sleepy kind (save for a couple others, mostly Captured Tracks artists) so this list will most likely be populated with sad to not so sad songs. Some of these are artists I haven’t posted about much in the past few months.
