yes. i know. totally melodramatic. but if you only knew what a nightmarish wreck of a life i've been living for the past three, almost four months, i think you'd understand.now i totally admit it. i cry. a lot.it helps me let my emotions out. but recently, i've just been burying all that emotion beneath papers, projects, chores, and general busywork. i've tried to forget about those emotions be...

I just finished (finally) watching little miss sunshine and that is a really heartfelt film. I'm glad to see Steve Carrell do a movie that isn't about him being his funny self. He's a broken man, and that's a broken family, but you know, it gives me hope for my broken family to do put their own bull** aside for the sake of one person's dream. I wanna hug that movie.

I'm so tired, I couldn't really think of a witty title for this post.Basically all I want to say is that Sufjan Stevens is brilliant, he has a very distinctive sound and makes use of many differnent instuments to give his music a wonderful diverse flavor. His lyrics are also pretty cool and the references he makes are pretty sweet. Like John Wyane Gacy, Jr.Indie Follk Rules!

Well, the Self Righteous Records tour ended, for me anyway. Called back home for a family emergency. I sat in the Airport looking out at the Calgary city skyline like a small cardboard cutout. It was a strange time coming down from being with such great people (them being Amy Honey, The Lonesome Valley Singers & Meatdraw). I think this song sort of sums up a lot of the odd emotion of agony and ...

Overrated?OK, someone please help me out here. I hear about Sufjan Stevens all the time .... people talk about him like he's some genius or something. So, FINALLY, I bought some of his music. I got "Illinoise" and "Songs for Christmas" (tis the season) which, since there are so many tracks on his albums, apparently makes him 3rd in my "Digital Music Collection" in terms of number of tracks.A...

So I just moved to Chico, California with the thought that it's about time to start school again and get on with my education. It's been surprisingly quiet here, which I'm more than thankful for. I'm glad Chico has not yet lived up to it's reputation of being a huge party town (not that I don't like to party). It's been two and a half months since I've showed up and am now starving to start a n...

so, sufjan stevens is a brilliant performer. though i have not seen him perform, personally, i’ve heard enough about his illinoisemakers, and though perhaps he uses too many trumpet flourishes, and too often loves the 5/4 time, i think he’s brilliant. but his latest release, The Avalanche, consisting of leftovers from his illionoise project, shows that he is more importantly a brilliant songwr
