What happened to Sufjan Stevens? There are so many things wrong with this video. The fact that he is gripping the microphone like Christina Aguilera. The fact that the song is a little more pop than I like. And what the hell is up with that weird guitar/trumpet solo. Maybe it will grow on me, maybe I can come to like the backwards hat and lack of meaning in this song. But I don't think I like this new Sufjan stuff at all which is sort of a bummer if we are suppose to be getting married one of these days.
My night is officially ruined. Old Sufjan come back. I miss and love you.

He's cracking under the pressure. How many states has he chronicled so far? What like, two out of the 50? He should never have been so ambitious. Maybe he needs an album of pop songs to tide him over while he works on his magnum opus. Indie folk revivalists got to eat, ya know!
I know, I guess he's just overwhelmed by the process. He has only done two state albums, but this new stuff is trippy. I would have preferred the much talked about bird album I thought he was working on instead of this stuff. I'll feed him (folk singers eat Ramen, right?) if that means he will work on some good songs again.
