Silent, Sweet Sufjan's Santa Serenade


At the risk of giving our beloved WAT too much praise (which he duly deserves) has anyone else checked out the five-disc holiday album coming out Monday from Sufjan Stevens? I can't think of anyone else who so fully embodies modesty and outrageous ambition. As if his goal to make an album about every state in the union were not enough, now he comes out with the most ambitious holiday album ever. For all his exuberance, he always seems so mellow and unperturbed.

UPDATE: Hmm...maybe I had him pegged wrong. We can hope. Yum.

There can never bee too much praise heaped upon me. I AM AN ATTENTION WHORE AND CRAVE IT! LOLOL!

Sufjan is hetero? REALLY?! I'm not trying to project, but he seems so delicate and has a slight lisp. I dunno...

WAT - We can hope he is. A pretty boy that performs wearing wings doesn't exactly project uber-macho whatever he is.

Mouse - Sufjan is a unique writer. The holiday album is just being released. Sadly, we had to delay our convergence due to the creeping crud that seems to be getting everyone before the holidays.

Mouse - Sufjan manages to play it a bit mysterious. Some folks may be reading the gay context a bit too hopefully. Fey doesn't always equal gay, but he's still a pleasure to look at and listen to.
