I rediscovered Seven Swans this week. The album is a beautiful collection of songs with Sufjan’s seemingly autobiographical, go-to themes of love and religion. However, the track which shares the record’s namesake is a step above every other track on the album.The track moves its way through its first half with the same delicate banjo [...]

normally the phrase "cover of a bob dylan song" sends shudders down my spine. like 99.999% of all beatles, stones, and guns 'n roses covers, the majority of dylan covers are really satan's covert attempts to destroy the music industry, one american idol contestant at a time (not to be confused with bret michael's not-so-covert attempt to destroy television, one std-riddled emotionally damaged ...

If you're like me, the last few months of non-stop popular Christmas music is like a slow methodical torture...every song another drip to the forehead...that's only ever broken up by moments of pure agony (McCartneys "wonderful christmastime", Band Aid's "do they know it's christmas", anyone singing along to the "Hanukkah Song"). It makes me feel like a scrooge...which is unfortunate cause rea...

On Saturday night, Sufjan Stevens returned to the site of his BQE suite -- the Brooklyn Academy of Music -- for the latest installment in the BAM Takeover series. Suf was listed only as event curator, selecting rising composer Nico Muhly and St. Vincent among others to regale an audience comprised of, as some attendees told me, "drunken hipsters." Sounds about right. My friend Kathryn twittered...

Did you see the moon Friday night? It was the biggest, brightest full moon of the year. It was low in the sky as I was driving home from work and it was marvelously radiant. Kind of like how you'd picture it in The Night Before Christmas when it says: "the moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow gave the luster of mid-day to objects below."Sufjan Stevens --"The First Full Moon" mp3 off...

Ah, Christmas time. I love Christmas time. Cutting down a tree in the early morning frost. Christmas lights. Crazy decorations (I've always wanted a full light-up nativity set). Christmas parties. Gift shopping. Beautiful walks. Snow dustings. Best of all, December means Christmas MUSIC!!!! Vince Guaraldi Trio's score to A Charlie Brown Christmas is perhaps my favorite Christmas album. The j...
