Jaimoe Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Any fans? I caught Sufjan on a recent Austin City Limits and although his performance was nice with some ultra-mellow but admittedly catchy songs, I had trouble controlling the urge to leap through my TV set and strangle him. I guess it was the image of Stevens singing with a perma-smug seated at his piano wearing butterfly wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shainhouse Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I saw him in amsterdam and it was one of the best shows I've seen all year, avec butterfly wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted November 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 (edited) I was really caught off-guard and put off by the whole self-aware theatrics of the ACL show. The music was fine however. Edited November 22, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Illinoise would be a great album if it was 20 minutes shorter. As it stands I think I've ever listened to it start to finish about twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phishtaper Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Also like. LR has a point about the length. the length of the album? or the length of the song titles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffhead77 Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 he's incredible...I have a show from Lee's palace (SBD) from a few years back with selections from Seven Swans and Illinoise and it's just mesmerizing. I have nothing bad to say about him. Thumbs up all the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottieking Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 B R I L L I A N T.Not one bad album. Even the Avalanche, his Illnoise outtake album has spent tons of time in my rotation and is in the running for my top ten for 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I think that Lee's Palace show was a CBC Radio broadcast, Fluff. I haven't heard all of his back catalogue, or even the Avalanche yet, but I think his guy is in a league of his own. You don't hear many people writing Brain Wilson-esque, point counterpoint, interweaving melodies pop music these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
